A tutoring job ad;
"Hi, my son is failing his Algebra class, but we need him to get a perfect score. His final is in two days. Here's the list of subjects:
[30 subjects]
Oh, and yeah, we don't even offer minimum wage. Any takers?"
This is satire, but sometimes tutoring ads boil down to this.
:holdthepain:
Seen in a tutoring job ad for *math*:
"My son is classically trained..."
What does this mean? Why does it matter?
He's read Seneca in Latin?
He's been trained in classical music?
Something else?
How does this have any impact on math?
:headache:
One thing I've noticed recently is students trying to get ahead of their math coursework with summer tutoring.
Whether it is their idea or a parent's is unknown.
However, I've never relied on summer tutoring to get ahead of my math coursework.
I wouldn't say "summer is for fun." However, it is (often) for other things than school. It can be work, play, whatever.
I'm concerned for their well-being.
(I said "often" above because I have taken summer courses: intensives in Hindi, and Mandarin. But I was post-graduate at the time.)
Seen in a tutoring job ad:
"I am looking for someone to teach funtions."
Did you mean funions??? Oh, Funyuns by Frito-Lay!
"FUNYUNS® Onion Flavored Rings are a deliciously different snack that’s fun to eat, with a crisp texture and zesty onion flavor. Next time you're in the mood for a tasty treat that's out of the ordinary, try FUNYUNS® Onion Flavored Rings."
Oh, look, a deep dive into Bloom's two sigma problem 💭🔍—because what the world really craved was a systematic review on educational methods that only grad students and pedagogical purists will read. 📚🤓 Spoiler: Mastery learning, #tutoring, and direct instruction might work...who knew?! 🎓💡 Your move, education system. 👀

Dramatised scenes from my first client this morning.
They were so excited to tell me they had achieved their very first “A” in mathematics (or in any subject).
This after very nearly dropping out of school due to little #ActuallyAutistic support.
So happy - deserves it.

Even in this hell of a week, I've provided >8 hours of free #tutoring to #ActuallyAutistic & other clients in my community.
Much of this is part of my devaluation of my time & skills, with the caveat of many good explanatory variables.
I think I want to be more confident & I guess, "capitalist-minded" to ease my suffering.
Yet, when you've been on the other side (still am), & know how it feels, the need & desire to help is overwhelming.
Besides, would I even like *that* version of me?

Dear Friends,
My disability is going to run out soon. The SSA has sent me mail to this effect.
I've been tutoring in math about 1.5 years now. Unfortunately, the volume of students I have currently won't make up for the loss of my disability income.
So I need more students. I tutor prealgebra, algebra 1 and 2, precalculus, calculus 1 and 2, and SAT Math. I've tutored children, teens and adults.
I can tutor French too, but you need to be okay with the French-Canadian accent.
I *could* tutor topics outside the list above, but we'd have to discuss it.
DM me for more information.
Thank you!
