It all depends on tastes and preferences. others love young tutor others old
It depends on what the student prefers and feels comfortable with. Young tutors might be excellent with young students having a lot of energy and older tutors might be excellent for older students where they feel more comfortable with a tutor with a lot of experience. All depends on the student.
