Giving Your Students an Appreciation of the Arts

Tags :

Category : Tutor FAQ

When you set out to become a teacher, it isn’t always enough just to teach a rote set of knowledge. You want to give your students an appreciation for the each knowledge area so they not only know things and how to do things, they also understand the history behind the knowledge they have and have an ability to appreciate the nuances of what they have learned. There may be no area of learning that this concept applies to more than art.

By art, we mean the arts which may include music, vocal interpretation, creative writing and the visual arts. Now in many schools, art programs have gone by the wayside due to budget cuts. This is even more of a reason that if you want to learn to teach the arts to your students, you should come to the task with enthusiasm and some creative thinking so you can take advantage of this time when you can offer lessons in artistic development and appreciation.

Perhaps the biggest challenge of offering art classes as part of the curriculum at the school where you teach is to get kids who may not think they have artistic talent to take the course. In most cases art classes are not required but you still want to be able to touch as much as the student body as possible with an appreciation of the arts and give everyone a chance to take a stab at making a bit of art themselves.

Much of the work that will go into letting kids know its ok to take art even if they do not feel they have artistic talent comes from the attitude of the teacher. Too often art teachers send the message that they expect every student to show noticeable artistic talent and that their grade may depend on their ability to produce art that can be judged as “good” by the teacher.

This creates huge stress in the students because nobody can just “become artistic.” And sending that message defeats the purpose of offering a program in the arts to the students at your school in first place. But if you can encourage a spirit of play and exploration so that even students with no artistic talent at all are willing to take the class just to “give it a try”, learning how art is made by making some of their own will be an enriching experience that may instill a love of art in the student that could last a lifetime.

In the movie The Music Man, the professor got two tone deaf children to sing “I love music mommy” as part of his effort to bring band music to a small town in Iowa. The pride those children and their parents showed more than offset that the song they offered to their portents was pretty unrecognizable as real music. But that scene is instructive in what you want to achieve in your students by giving them a chance to learn to create art with no regard for their talent one way or another. And don’t be surprised if a student takes home a perfectly hideous artwork with pride and that piece of art becoming a precious heirloom for that family not because it is good art but because it is an expression of artistic feeling from a child who wanted to try something new and did it.

Along with giving our students the basic instructions in how to create works of art, don’t miss out on the opportunity to give them a basic education in art history and art appreciation. This may be the greatest gift your art classes can give a child. If they come from your class with an awareness of why Michelangelo is one of the greatest artists of all time, that is a part of our cultural knowledge that will demonstrate that this child has been given a broad and well rounded education.

Teaching art and art approbation can be one of the most fulfilling forms of teaching that you can offer to the next generation. Not only will the children have a lot of fun discovering the artists inside them, you will have a great time showing that side to them as well. And all of that fun will make them better people which, after all, is the goal of being an educator in the first place.

Teaching With Powerpoint

Tags :

Category : Tutor FAQ

The software tool, Microsoft PowerPoint is one of the most versatile tools that the huge software giant has given to us. Business has already discovered the power of this amazing tool. But there are a lot of lessons plans that would benefit from the tools and resources that PowerPoint can offer to make your lessons more fun and interesting for your students. But you have to know how to use it for maximum advantage even before you start designing your slide slow.

Almost everybody has seen PowerPoint used and witnessed what a fun and creative presentation tool it is. You can take classes to learn how to use PowerPoint and to tap the power of the amazing animation and graphics tools it has to present information to your students. This is why PowerPoint is such a great tool for teaching. It gives you the chance to supplement what might have been a boring lecture with some colorful and quickly moving slides that will keep your kids riveted throughout your presentation.

PowerPoint is also easy to use. The genius of Microsoft is that they do facilitate us in using this great tool by making it so easy to take advantage of all of PowerPoint’s fantastic tools. In a classroom setting, PowerPoint alone could represent one of the biggest revolutions in how to present information to students in a long time. But it’s a good idea to think through how to use the tool and have some ground rules for how to use it so you get the maximum value from PowerPoint without becoming abusive of its powers.

When designing the way you will use PowerPoint as a teaching tool, don’t give in to the temptation to let the slideshow do all the work of teaching for you. Remember that PowerPoint is great as long as it is a supplement to your lecture or presentation to your students. The best kind of PowerPoint slide presentation uses bullet triggers to take you through your lecture but you do all the work of actually teaching your students. When it comes to putting a large amount of information on a PowerPoint slide, in a word, don’t. This will lead to reading the slide presentation to your students which will become boring causing you to lose the “punch” you hoped PowerPoint would bring to this lesson plan.

Another tip when working with PowerPoint in an educational setting is to never turn your back on your students. You need to have eye contact with them at all times when you are teaching. So know your presentation well so you don’t have to turn and look at the screen during the course of the lesson.

PowerPoint gives you the ability to use a timer fiction so the slides change on their own after a set period of time. This is a slick function but one that few actually use. And in your setting of trying to integrate PowerPoint into your teaching, you should avoid the timer function as well. The only way this function can work is if you are in a teaching situation where there is no chance there will be an interruption or a delay. And since in a classroom setting you can almost guarantee interruptions in your presentation, the timer function then would become your worst enemy rather than a good tool to help you.

Maintain a consistency to the design of your PowerPoint slides. This means using one single color or background scheme for the entire show. Consistency also applies to the motion of bulleted lists. There are dozens of presentation styles for bulleted lists that PowerPoint supports. You can have your bullet points fly in from the side, bounce in or fade in from nothing to something and then fade away again.

Avoid the temptation to use a different effect on each slide. By establishing one text management strategy, you will avoid creating a PowerPoint lesson that is distracting and disjointed. And by using common sense and good advice in how to put together your PowerPoint lesson plan, you will create a resource for that lesson that can be a valuable part of your teaching arsenal for years to come.

The Brass Tacks About Tutoring

Tags :

Category : Part time Teaching Jobs , Tutor FAQ

Like any job, tutoring children is often idealized and romanticized by young people preparing for a career in education.  Then once the reality of what life is like as a tutor hits, it can come as a rude shock.  This does not mean that the ideals and values of tutoring the next generation of youth and the great thrill of seeing a young mind come alive with knowledge are not wonderful and worthy of respect and praise. In truth, anyone who makes it in the field of tutoring must have that idealism that is a deep part of your motivation system because it will be those values that will help you get past the hard times that tutoring, particularly in a public school situation often brings with a job of tutor.

But along with the values and ideals, we need to mix that inner drive with a strong dose of reality so that when you show up for your first day and work through your first year of tutoring, you are not broadsided by some of the challenges and frustrations that lie ahead.  A few moments talking about the brass tacks of a tutoring career can help you prepare for the negatives so they are less potent and less able to stop you from being a success in your tutoring career.

Probably one of the areas of tutoring that often causes high tutor stress and burn out is the level of government regulation and the extent that the administration of a school gets in the way of the tutoring process.  Many times in public school it almost seems like education is of a lesser value than paying attention to rules and regulations and maintaining order and discipline in the school. 

When you come to that tutoring position with priority placed on tutoring students the subject matter at hand and see them begin to excel academically and you find academics taking a back seat to the schools administrative issues, to discipline issues and to what seems to be a nonstop flood of forms and requirements for every governmental program imaginable, that can cause frustration about the job you have taken in that school.

Under funding of education probably ranks second greatest frustration with the working world of tutoring.  This lack of funding is evident in your pay and in how well the classes you need to teach are funded.  You may not have the supplies you need and many tutors actually find themselves buying supplies from their own money just to make sure their tutoring is successful.  That is the contrast between the public’s lack of substantial support for education and your deep commitment to it.  But the funding issue can also result in overcrowding of classrooms because the school cannot afford more classrooms or sufficient number of tutors to handle a high student population. 

The third problem that often broadsides new tutors is that many students are not the angels we wish they would be.  Especially in a public school setting, you will have in every class some students who don’t care about academics and would rather disrupt the class than allow you to teach those who do want to learn.  It takes some real experience and some coaching from experienced tutors in how to handle this kind of student but at least be aware that they will be in your classroom day one and all year long.

It takes some innovative thinking and almost stubborn insistence on staying positive to be a successful tutor under circumstances like this.  But if you keep your focus on the kids and on those moments that do come in each school year when you really connect with students and you see them get excited about what you are sharing, that one moment makes dealing with all of the other frustrations entirely worth it.

Good Reasons to be a Tutor

Tags :

Category : Part time Teaching Jobs , Tutor FAQ

The tutoring profession is a unique career field in a lot of ways.   Because you are taking on the challenge of educating children or teenagers, along way you will become very much a part of their society with all the positive and negatives that go with that.  Its for that reason that before you make even the first step toward making tutoring your career, its good to examine your motivations to make sure you have good reasons to teach.

The downsides of tutoring are well known.  Tutoring historically does not pay well, particularly if you teach at the public school level.  You can find niche situations that pay well like working for a wealthy private school, tutoring or working for a “for profit” tutoring operation.  But by and large, you don’t go into tutoring for the money. 

That said it is also true that if you are a good tutor and your resume is strong, you can expect strong job security.  There is always a need for good tutors.  Unlike going into business, you do not have to make your employer profitable to be a success tutoring.  You are judged in lives and in the results of your tutoring that is evidenced in the grades and strong academics of your students. If you can learn to teach young minds and bring them wisdom and knowledge, you will have a job for life.

Many people go into tutoring because they love the academic environment.  For those who grieved the closing of each school year and who never wanted to leave high school and then college, tutoring lets you take up residence in that part of society that fits your personality so well.  To those who have no idea how the calling to teach works, this seems insane because for many getting out of school a stronger motivation than continuing on in the academic world.  So if you have an affinity for the social setting of a school system and the idea of taking up residence in a culture that the pursuit of knowledge is, at least in theory, the primary goal of the institution, tutoring is for you.

Another motivation many have for going into tutoring is love of your subject matter.  If you have always been passionate about math, history, philosophy, art or physical education, one way to feel fulfillment of your passion is to pass along not only your knowledge about your field of expertise but your passion as well.  This is particularly true of a field of study where there is no direct corollary in the business world such as history or philosophy.  By making a career in academics tutoring the field of knowledge you love and excel at, you keep the legitimacy of that area of knowledge alive by passing it along to the next generation.

If the core reason you love to teach is the love of your subject matter, you do have to be a realist especially if you find yourself tutoring in the public schools.  Don’t go into a classroom of 30 high schoolers and expect every one of them to be come a zealot about your field of expertise as you are.  Yes, from time to time you will light a fire under a kindred spirit and see the light come on about the love of your subject area.  That experience alone can make the sacrifices of tutoring worth it.  But be reconciled that if all you do is at least hold the attention of the students and broaden their knowledge and appreciation of your field of knowledge, for many that is all you can expect.  But you are still an educator and you have done a good thing at even that very basic level.

Tutoring is a calling no matter what your core reasons to teach is.  A true tutor does not go into the field for the money or for a glamorous or exciting career.  The excitement of tutoring is seeing young minds come  alive in class and to take youth people one step further along their path to becoming truly educated individuals.  And if that is your passion and what gets you out of bed each mooring to go to that school and deal with the negatives of a tutoring day, they you have found the right reasons to teach which means you will be successful, well liked and remembered by your students as a great tutor.

What is online tutoring ?

Online tutoring is mode of teaching where student and tutor both do not physically available. They use computer, tablet or other device to communicate.

How to contact clients from other countries?

The biggest challenge in online tutoring is contacting clients because living in India and calling abroad clients is not affordable. There are various alternative you can use to contact client.

-The fastest way to contact any client is social media app popular in client’s country, for example in USA & India most of the people use whats app for chat and communication whereas Wechat is more famous in China and Singapore.

A fast and reliable computer: This can be a desktop, laptop or tablet. We don’t recommend doing this with your smartphone. Skype recommends that your computer has at least a 1 Ghz processor and a minimum of 256 MB of Ram for Windows machines and for Mac, at least a 1 Ghz Intel processor (Core 2 duo) and a minimum of 1 GB of Ram. But remember, these are minimums. The faster your system is, the more reliable your connection will be.

What advice do experience home tutor have for a part time new home tutors in Pune?

Tags :

Category : Tutor FAQ

Sonlinetutor.com have more than 16000+ home tutors in Pune and keep growing its network . We just share experience of our existing experience personal tutor with you. So you this can help you for starting part time tutoring jobs in Pune for you.

Mukul’s Experience.

I’m a private maths home tutor in Pune and have been teaching from last 7 years now so I can share my experience  with you and give your some general advice.

Always have your schedule and plan it

Don’t available for anytime anywhere as that’s what parents  will expect from all home tutors. You have to plan your time for tutoring and note down time slots you are comfortable to take. For example if you are not comfortable for early morning tuition than never say yes for it. Take your comfortable time, as it will become hectic for you. You will not be  able to manage your whole day if you do not have habit to wake up at early morning. Trust me it is frustrating after sometime so  I always preferred evening time or late afternoons. That is what’s work best for me. So you can check your comfortable times.  In addition to that always make schedule of your time slots. Just check you are not giving same time slots to two different parents. That’s why I recommend you to have Google Calendar or calendar APP to take care about your schedule. It will help you to manage yourself and able to give idea about your time availability. After two years of tutoring I understand it better and now make it a habit. Getting students for tutoring is not a problem because Sonlinetutor helps me to fix my slots in very less time.

Transportation

Always decide at first  what distance you can  cover for tutoring. Never try to cover long distances because you will ended up with less tuition and your maximum time just go into travelling. Do not do it even if you have your own vehicle to commute. Because travelling time and travelling cost both are high for it. When I started tutoring ,I was like to accept each kind of tutoring proposal, which results I was travelling 20 KM each day. After sometime I left all long distance tuition and take students from one area. You have to wait for sometime but you definitely get students in your locality.

Prices

You might know few tutors who get paid Rs 750 to Rs 1500 for  an hour tutoring but for fresher part time tutor always  put your rates bit lower than other tutors . This will help you in two ways , you are able to book a demo class at least while having a less experience and chances for tuition  conversion also increase. Always  look for  what other tutor charge in your area and go little bit low , not to gain more clients by undercutting the competition, but because you’re new and inexperienced tutor.

Experience

Make sure you have all documents and references from previous clients with you while going for the demo. I always recommend new tutor to make a mini CV which includes your local address, permanent address, mobile number,Qualification and previous clients references etc. You can also includes  ID proof xerox with it to increase your credibility. Always try to include previous student’s grades and what subject tutoring you’ve done in CV. Don’t lie. If you haven’t done before than never say yes for it.

In first demo class never say “I’ve never done any part time tutoring before but I would like to start from you ” say something more like: “I have experience in part time tutoring other students in my school as well as I was teaching my friends and family, and am now become a full time tutor.”

Contact

Always try to set up a connection between you , student and parents in first demo class. Do not start you demo class from teaching. Try to talk with them , discuss why they want a home tutor. In case you want can use Sonlinetutor’s checklist, print it and take with you. Ask this questions to parents so you know much about student. Afterwards try to get familiar with student because you have to remember it is personal face to face tutoring. So make student and parents comfortable with you.  

Planning lessons

This is very important after a demo session. If you got selected than always try to make a lesson plans for a week at least. Always try to  find out in advance when they are having  exams, time table for exams,subjects to be covered,portion to be completed, aims etc. and plan accordingly  a schedule for each student. Always maintain a file for it and record each student plan with you. So you can check later what to be covered and what to be teach. Try to take a xeros of syllabus and keep record in your personal file so that you know what to be get done for the classes. Once you’ve done for one student you will understand how much easier and  relaxing for your to take care about each and every student.

The lessons

Be flexible to teaching methodologies. Adjust to student’s  preferred learning pace.Never go with only tradition teaching methodologies. Try to include visuals, animation and other charts to explain the concept. Try to find out which methods work best for your student and design custom teaching plans and teaching methodologies for him.

If they learn well from short notes, give them extra notest which you will get from Sonlinetutor. Sonlinetutor.com having third party tie up for student material. So you can request it from them, they will provide you in free of cost.

Other

Be lenient but always ask payments on time. For payments you can use free invoice tools, Generate invoice and send them before month completion.  If they forget to pay tuition fee then just send a reminder email or text on What’s App. Never refuse a lesson for money reason because it give bad impression that you are money minded. So focus on money but in flexible way.

Never Lie

Don’t lie with student or pretend to know something you don’t. Student will catch up with you eventually and you have bad impression with student .So If you don’t know the answer to a particular question then ask for time.  Tell them you’ll get back to them after a day. But it does not mean you leave that question, try to solve it by your own and explain in next class. Always do it. That will increase your trust and repo with student.

Finally

Hopefully this experience  helps you , Feel free to ask anything with me or Sonlientutor, They are good mentor for tutors. So you can take any kind of help with them.

Category : Tutor FAQ

Becoming a home tutor in Pune is an easy task. You can register with various home tutor provider in Pune or tuition agencies in Pune to get students. Tutoring is a part time job or even you can work as a full time tutor. If you are passionate about tutoring and want to share knowledge with others than tutoring is best profession for you. You will get flexibility towards working hours, you can take one tuition to multiple tuition depends upon your time slot available. But tutoring is not an easy task. Tutoring require lot of efforts and dedication. Home tutor is completely working for an individual student growth. As a personal tutor your work responsibility includes completion of course, provide problem solutions and doubt clearing, giving mentorship to student, find out weak areas of student and work on it etc. To become a good tutor , we always suggest tutor to evaluate student’s need in first demo class. Tutor can take our checklist with them and check about student weaknesses , in case tutor is not able to understand student weaknesses than should be take help of an expert. In some cases students might be require special education and tutor is not able to understand that which results wastage of time and efforts for both tutor and student . In next, Before starting a class you can find out what portion student already cover and what is remaining. Even you can check where student require more time to devote. Apart from subjects you can even ask about other general problems like examfear, confidence, nervousness etc , this will help you to understand where student is lacking behind. In addition to that tutor should decide the feasible goals with students for an example, if student is targeting A+ in maths within a month which is not feasible for him to achieve in such a short time than you have to make him comfortable and explain why it is difficult to achieve this goal and what can be achieved in this time period. Always let him focus on small goals which are achievable in short time period, it will help student to get motivated for next goal and it’s also build self confidence in him. Once you decide the goals the next work is to track the progress, to track the progress you have to introduce some evaluation system.To evaluate student you can organize weekly test and surprise test but you should take care that student should enjoy these activities and should not make their schedule more hectic. For study material you can depend upon third party platform for test generation, at Sonlinetutor.com tutor does not need to worry because we already have study material and test papers, your work is to just choose subjects and grade , you will get desired test paper for the specific topic and subject.

In next step you have to structure the classes to begin. The structure of class give you an idea about how much time left for an exam and what portion to be covered in this time period. Once you know all the details than you can make a timetable which consist subjects and topic wise information with reference to time. This timetable helps both tutor and student to organize the portion. In addition to that you can also dedicate each class’s aim. For example , you can decide for a particular week the complete five classes dedicated for three subjects. In two class they will complete maths chapter 5 , in next two class devoted to science to complete chapter 6 and in remaining class they can clear the doubts. This defined goals help tutor and student to understand the time left and what should be cover for this particular time. According to that you can also decide about any extra class requirement. If tutor think there is an extra class require for student than can schedule some extra classes on weekend to cover remaining portion. In between this tutor also have to take care about student’s motivation. To motivate student tutor can use reward methodology. You can discuss with student what they like the most to do as hobby. For instance if student interested in playing video game than you can give some games once he complete desired goals. This reward methodology make student ready for next goal achievement and fill up him with full confidence , this will increase the chances of his success.

Apart from this tutor should understand the student pace. Student pace is a key aspects to look before starting anything. The learning pace of each student is vary. So once you know the learning pace of student ,you should not go beyond that, going beyond his limits demotivate him to achieve further and hold him back to growth. You also take care about the learning style for student . Learning style includes traditional teaching method and other teaching methodologies to help student to understand the complex concepts. In case if you find out student is not understanding concept , you can explain them using graphics, video animation , charts , infographics etc whichever the method this all should make concept easy to understandable by student.

How much should I charge for tuition ?

Tags :

Category : Tutor FAQ

Started your career as a home tutor? If yes so than congrats to become a private tutor. As a new tutor you have so many doubt in your mind. Out of that few we mention below

“How much should I charge for class …… student?”.

“How to prepare for the demo class?”

“How to find out new student ?”etc.

These are few basic questions which we find common among all new tutors. As each of this questions require detailed explanation and vast points to be covered, we include only about tuition fee calculation analysis in this article. As a fresher, private tutor has to take care about so many factors while calculating the price of tuition.  It is bit tricky to find tuition fee , but if tutor do not want to get into this math, can simply call any local tuition agency or tuition service provider, ask about prices and get done(most of the tutor do that). But that will not solve your complete problem, as this service provider tell you a common rate which might not be compatible for everyone. So we suggest, do some calculation before fixing your hourly or monthly tuition rates.  In this article we include some of the points to be consider before calculation begin.

Everyone has to include some of these factors before starting to calculate the tuition fee.This factors are current market rate, travelling allowances , time and days to be devoted for tutoring, tutor experience, subjects to be covered, Efforts to put for student etc. We explain each of the factor in detail below :-

  1. Current market rate :-

At the first try to find out current market rate. It is the first basic step which not only help tutor to find out base rates but also give an idea of what other competitors are charging. For an example, A tuition agency or tutoring company in same area charges 450 rs for an hour and tutor is planning to charge 550 rs per hour than it decreases chances of  selection , because other competitors are much cheaper. In other hand , if tutor charging 350 rs which is much lower than other offers may results in increase selection, but soon tutor find he is  earning less than others for same time period. So we suggest tutor can make fix minimum 400 rs per session to fight for initial competition. It will not only make easy to acquire new students but also save tutor to hamper its pocket.

  1. Travelling allowances :-

This contribute major portion in your tuition fee decision if you are taking home tuitions. For online tutors this cost is none. It’s a fact that for travelling tutor either use personal mode of transportation like bike else use public transportation. This cost  completely depend upon distance covered by a tutor. Before deciding fee tutor has to calculate the distance and than find out petrol charges or transportation charges. This basic charges should be added to your fee.

  1. Time and days for tuition:-

The other factor which should be consider is number of hours per day dedicated for particular student. Tutor has to understand student requirement , is student want hourly classes  or monthly classes. If the fee is decided on hourly basis than tutor can calculate as an individual class but if it is monthly bases than the total price go down. For instance,  a tutor charge 400 Rs per hour , but student want to take classes on monthly bases, while considering weekend off , the total days cover by a tutor per month are 22. So considering with hourly rates the total amount is 8800 Rs per month, which is not feasible for parents to pay, so here negotiation come into account and tutor can give much feasible rate which can around in between 5500/- to 6000/- a month. This sets a good example to understand the monthly rates and hourly rates which is common in India.

4.Subject offered:-

In this list one more things we can not forget to discuss is subject to be cover for tuition. Majority of students from school level ask for a private tutor for maths and science, whereas few of them ask for all subjects. As number of subjects increases , tutor efforts also increases. The complete pressure of subjects completion before the exam buildup on tutor. So as subject increases, the responsibility and work also increase. Tutor has to estimate charges according to that. Sometime you have to cover extra classes before an exam to finish the syllabus. Sonlinetutor.com always suggest its tutor to convey about extra charges to parents or calculate charges according to that which can added to monthly remuneration.

  1. Extra efforts to put for student:-

At last but not least, tutor should know about their students. We always recommend tutor to take a counselling session of child before classes begin, this will not only help private tutor to understand the weak areas of student but also give opportunity to design customized teaching plans for student. As extra efforts and out of the box methodologies results in fee hike, because personal tutor has to put extra efforts for student and it become one specialization add on for tutor which distinguish him with other tutor. In Depth tutor find  this weak areas can be anything such as weak in maths calculation to fear for exam. For this instance we take an example of our one student. He was in class 9th and continuously not scoring well for the exam. When first time we receive his enquiry , his parents told us that their son was not interested in studies at all. But when our tutors did counselling , he found that student was having trouble in examfear and have some issues with remembering things. From dedicated teaching plans and methods we solved the problems before exams started, which results in improve grades in exam. As tutor work extra than its regular curriculum  , tutor has rights to ask for extra money for his efforts.

In conclusion we can give basic formula to calculate tuition fee , which is

Tuition fee = Travelling allowances +efforts + time consumption

To help tutor further , we included basic rate chart which depends on  grade , city type and  duration.These all rates are based monthly and hourly bases so tutor has to decide by his own. This rates can vary city to city , we are giving an idea on the basis of our research. You can put your efforts to find rates further
