Gravells takes this one step further by saying adult learning is all about helping someone reach their full potential.

It is the role of the teacher to establish the needs of the organisation and/or the learners and to assess learner’s competence levels and gain knowledge on their motivators. A responsibility in my role was to contact individual learner prior to the course to determine their objectives, any dietary requirements, any learning requirements and motivators for attending; whilst establishing ground rules regarding date, time and location to ensure learners would turn up on time at the right place. Another responsibility is keeping learners personal information secure; teachers will have access to learner’s records and personal data, so it is vital to follow the guidelines under the Data Protection
Another role is to evaluate the tutor's own teaching and revise learning plans if necessary. In terms of boundaries, the tutor should receive an introduction at the place of work and with that some outlines within the organisation's expectations in regards to role and responsibilities of a tutor as well as a feel of the organisation's ethos. It is however important to know how far to take the role of tutor and when is appropriate to refer a student to a different professional or bodies like the learning support team for diversity or disabilities issues. A tutor must remember to act within the syllabus and in relation with what he or she is teaching and not beyond the course, maintaining either professional as well as personal boundaries and always keeping in mind confidentiality, following the requirement expected within the
