MyTutor\u00a0<\/a>today!<\/p>\nSo if you\u2019re a tutor and your experiences of tutoring aren\u2019t yet what you hoped they would be, read this and find out why it\u2019s always worth it in the end.<\/p>\n
As I\u2019ve already mentioned, I had had a few rather difficult experiences tutoring and, to be honest, I thought about taking a break for a while. And then a few months ago I had an email from a parent wanting me to tutor her son who had dyslexia. He was someone to whom English GCSE didn\u2019t come naturally, but he was willing to try hard and put in the hours to do well – even if it meant doing boring things like memorising spellings or word definitions, or doing extra homework. MyTutorWeb\u2019s state-of-the-art virtual classroom allows for Skype-like communication. This means that the student and tutor really get to know each other and, with our weekly interaction, I quickly became very fond of this student; so much so that I thought about him outside of tutoring hours – I actually went out of my way to interview a dyslexic friend at university to find out how I could improve my teaching methods.<\/p>\n
The best thing about tutoring this particular child was not the steady flow of income or regular work MyTutor\u00a0advertises – it was seeing him change and grow not only in skill but in confidence; when he no longer spelt certain words incorrectly or panicked at particular questions. I looked forward to seeing him each week, and when his exam finally came around I had the satisfaction of knowing that, provided he kept calm and did his best, he would pass, no worries. I felt so fond and proud of this pupil that gradually my faith in, and love of, tutoring was restored.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s face it, tutoring isn\u2019t always plain sailing. But it\u2019s worth all the bumps to find those students who really do want to learn, are pleased to see you when you pop up on their monitor each week, and who value you for the change you\u2019ve made in their lives.<\/p>\n
