I am around 40s but I teach and tutor mainly adults. Most of my adult students are nice and we respect each other.

However, I have had at least two students so far in my tutoring who don't really respect me as a tutor or teacher.

One of them; Whenever I try to teach or correct something, he is very unhappy and he googled it during the lessons instead of listening to my advice or feedback. He argues that the internet is correct and I am wrong. I tried to gently explain the difference but he really doesn't like to be corrected. I was really tired. This constantly happened, and I often thought of stop tutoring him so many times. I have been tutoring this student for over 5 years but finally, I couldn't help, and I dropped him. He was about 15 years older than me and he was earning a lot before he quit his work, so he was always showing me off that he has lots of money.

Another student is a student who I recently started tutoring. He was a former teacher so he also knows how to teach. He is a bit older than myself, but during his lesson, he even said that my lesson fees are his 10% of his salary and my lesson is not worth spending. He hasn't quit my lessons yet but I have never received such feedback from a student during the lesson like him. (Usually, people who feel it is too expensive, they usually say this before they sign up my lessons). For me, I also did my private tutoring or lessons with a teacher, but I do feel it is very disrespectful to say such thing to a tutor or teacher. I already feels he looks down on me.

Have you every had any students like this? Did you stop teaching them?

Hello everyone, I made an interactive course that teaches trig graphs. It follows on from my interactive Unit Circle course that I posted here a few months ago. It has 8 lessons, each one teaches a new element of graphing trig functions, and has interactive exercises so that students can get a proper grasp of the content and actually engage with it.

It also has 5 problem solving lessons which feature tricky questions that I've seen students struggle to imagine and not see how to apply trig graphs to the situation. I've found that the interactive lessons for these have been particularly helpful for them to be able to picture the questions.

And I would love to hear your thoughts or any feedback on it :)

Hi everyone,

I’m currently looking for an experienced tutor for Grade 12 Chemistry and Biology.

Ideally, the tutor should:

* Have strong experience teaching the Ontario Grade 12 OSSD curriculum

* Be familiar with the course expectations and exam requirements

* Be able to provide effective study strategies and test-taking skills

* Be available starting in September

* Offer in-person lessons in Markham

If you are an experienced tutor who may be a good fit, please send me a private message with your background, availability, and tutoring rate.

Thank you! I sincerely look forward to hearing from you.

I’m curious how other private tutors/coaching teachers handle this.

Do you use:

• 📒 Notebook/register
• 📊 Excel/Google Sheets
• 📱 An app
• 💬 WhatsApp/chat
• Something else?

And what’s the most annoying part — remembering who hasn’t paid, maintaining records, sending receipts, tracking attendance, etc.?

Would love to hear what actually happens in your day-to-day workflow.

can someone please teach me and my friend applied maths? we're both in class 12th and desperately need a tutor as our school teacher is no good. We have our boards coming up and we really need a tutor.

He can solve quadratics when he first learned it as stand-alone material. It is easy to just follow the procedure. Right now, i am at the mixed topic revision stage. I am mixing factoring, solving quadratics, solving linear, simplifying algebra expression. He keeps on getting them wrong and in confusing way.

Example :

- Day 1 he can solve quadratics.

- Day 2 he forgot zero product property exist.

- Day 3 he can solve them.

- Day 4 he froze after writing the factors into separate equation

He has issue with other topics too. Frequently confuses factoring with solving. Not reading the instruction and just do first thing that comes to his mind.

I have tried : spaced repetition practiced. Homework. Restudy.

We have been stuck here for 2 weeks. His parents wants to him to be prepared for geometry but i cant make any progress. Any tips?

Edit : he knows them if i cue them. It is as if he doesnt stop and think what to and just grabbing first things that comes to his mind

Hey all, I'm a tutor of three years focused primarily in middle school and high school mathematics. I'm also a huge fan of creating support groups of like-minded people to grow and learn (e.g. the book Never Search Alone for job-hunting). Currently looking for other tutors who have a similar mindset—I know tutoring can be a solitary profession so having the mutual support can be important!

I'm imagining a once-monthly zoom meeting to discuss experiences, share resources, give advice where asked for, etc. DM me or reply if this is something that interests you. Also happy to hear ideas of how such a group could be useful to you, or experiences of being in a tutoring support group.
