Written scenario · Professionalism, Empathy
A generous family
You tutor a 9-year-old through a free community literacy program.
After the child's reading improves, the family, who you know are struggling financially, give you an expensive watch and invite you to a family wedding next month. They seem hurt when you hesitate. The program's rules say tutors may not accept gifts over a small value.
The two questions
- 1How would you respond?
- 2Why do professional boundaries matter, even in warm, friendly relationships?
What raters look for
- Professionalism
- Is reliable, respects boundaries and confidentiality, and holds a consistent standard under pressure.
- Empathy
- Recognizes what others feel and need, and lets that shape the response without losing judgment.
