Developing Soft Skills Through Peer Tutoring: A Journey with Knack
I’ll never forget the first time I heard the term “soft skills.” It was during one of my group counseling classes for my master's degree. I remember feeling a bit odd because I had never heard about “soft skills” while growing up or anywhere within my undergraduate degree. I had always focused on academic skills, technical knowledge, and “hard skills,” so the idea that skills like effective communication, learning styles and problem-solving were equally important was a revelation. It turns out, soft skills are crucial in almost every aspect of life, from personal relationships to professional success. Even more, they are what employers are looking for in their employees.
