| Reading Tutors for school age children... | | 2007-07-10 13:15:00 | | Our daughter is one of the many school age children that has trouble reading, but it seems that she has improved after I learned about Score learning programs. I signed up to become a member, so I actually have access to a more in depth explanation about making reading fun for our daughter, because motivation is the key for children to want to learn and really grasp. I looked into it, and I can only get the online program available for our daughter, not an actual Tutor for there aren't any centers around where we live. But anyway, reading tutors can help children ages 4 to 14 make significant academic progress in an innovative tutoring environment where children will really enjoy reading. Make learning fun by getting such tutoring program for your school age children.... | | By: Simply Me | | |
| | Math Tutors for kids... | | 2007-07-07 12:06:00 | | My husband and I are always concern about our daughter's learning ability, as she was falling behind her peers during her kindergarten school year. So, we are in the process of looking in to an online program for kids. Currently, I found math tutors for children ages 4-14. We can enroll her and get a math tutoring program for her to learn math as she is especially needing help in math. It's seems to be the hardest subject to face in school even back then when I was going to school, so, hopefully such program can help her in means of being able to keep up in school. We want to prepare her for this next school year.... | | By: Simply Me | | |

| | | | | Math Tutors... | | 2007-05-07 17:53:00 | | Our daughter needs tutoring help especially in Math, and I recently found a website that offers what I am looking for, a "math tutors. However, it is only through the computer, an online program, because unfortunately, there is no tutoring center here around our area. But the main thing is I have to do what I have to do, in order for our daughter to do better in school. And that is through the E-Score Online Program: www.escore.com. It works for me, though, because we are not really stable right now, we can be on the go anytime for our other daughter has a medical problem. Anyway, I checked it out to see what I can do, to benefit our daughter. The site provided me a lot of information about educational tools on how to better prepare her for the next school year. I am given some useful tips about having her get ahead or at least keep up in school. So, that is great, I have a lot of different programs to choose from and not just Math, but other academic skills that she is greatly lacking... | | By: Memoirs of a Filipina | | |
| | Story 15 - Tutors or parents who delay your time? | | 2007-04-29 23:17:13 | | Dear tuition coordinators, have you ever felt that there will always be tutors or parents who tend to waste your time? For me, I have often felt so. On advertisement days, I will often receive two types of calls. One would be to enquire about the hiring of private tutors and the other would request us to search for a private tutor. For the latter, I would get the necessary details and embark on the search of a suitable candidate and after some time, get back to the parent. Out of which, there is only 50% chances that I will actually close the deal successfully. Here are a few reasons why:1) Other agencies provide better tutors or tutors who charge lesser.2) The parents decided not to get a tutor after much consideration like time arranging and costs.3) The students do not have the parents' permission to hire the tutor. I believe the above scenario is familiar to many and it does not feel nice when you go all out and face rejection in the end. On the other hand, there are tutors who tend to take up your time when they keep questioning about an assignment then decide not to take it.Frustrating as it is, let us learn the skill of tolerance as we continue in this career path. All the best to fellow tuition coordinators and hang in there. Continue to give in your best so as not to let yourself down.... | | By: Life of a Tuition Coordinator | | |
| | Story 13 - A gentle reminder for tutors | | 2007-04-09 12:38:06 | | When I first started out as a tuition coordinator, I kept hoping for an assignment to come soon. When the first one finally came, the next thing to do was to find a suitable tutor to send down for lessons. Soon, I received a few more assignments and it was at that time when a problem cropped up. One of my tutors who was supposed to have tuition on a particular day, did not turn up at all for tuition. Of course, the parent was boiling mad because the tutor did not make a single call to explain himself. It was only when I called up the tutor that I realised, he had gotten the tuition day wrong. Since then, there had been a few more similar cases, only that the tutors got the timing wrong. In fact, there were some who went to the wrong place because they got confused which parent was which. It then struck me that there had to be something done and it had to be done- fast. Thus, I decided to send gentle reminders to tutors to ensure that they can go down for lessons smoothly. Initially, some were negative because they felt we thought they were forgetful. However, it was no harm to send out a gentle reminder and so I did not take their comments to heart. Luckily, majority of the tutors appreciate our reminders for there were some really forgetful ones. It certainly feel good when the tutors actually thank you for those simple reminders.So for tuition coordinators out there, do send reminders to tutors regarding their tuition lessons, for it will benefit yourselves and the rest.... | | By: Life of a Tuition Coordinator | | |
| | Story 12 - A need for updated profiles of tutors | | 2007-04-05 04:17:51 | | Recently, I was searching for a full time tutor when something struck me. Out of the many calls that I had made, some of the tutors were no longer giving tuition. In fact, they sounded pretty irritated when we called them up, as if we were harassing them for nothing. Also, there were circumstances where the tutors had actually converted from full time tutors to part time tutors and vice versa.As a result, those who are now part time would assume that we are ridiculous to require them to give tuition during working hours. Meanwhile, those who are now full time tutors would complain that we never bother to give them a ring when there are assignments. Through these few incidents, I realise that there is an urgent need for the tutors to update their particulars in their database.Honestly, what is the use of a database if you have to ask every question you need to know about the tutor? I am certain that by the time the phone call ends, both parties would be quite tired from all the asking and answering. Troublesome and maybe even irksome, isn't it?Of course, in order to have updated profiles of tutors, both the tutors and tuition coordinators have a part to play. Tutors would have to be diligent enough to do constant updating, example, a change in contact numbers or a change in status, etc. Tuition coordinators, on the other hand, should send out reminders in case the tutors are so busy that they forgot about updating.This way, with the cooperation of both parties, we can prevent making unnecessary calls and not result in two unhappy parties at the end of the phone. I hope this entry will be beneficial and set as a reminder to all other tuition coordinators. Thank you.... | | By: Life of a Tuition Coordinator | | |
| | Story 8 - Tutors/Parents who do not reply | | 2007-02-23 09:33:36 | | Dear tuition coordinators, have you ever encountered such a situation before: You found a suitable tutor after putting in loads of effort only to realise that you cannot get in touch with the parents. By the time you managed to contact the parents, they have already engaged the services of another tuition coordinator. How wasted!Now, if it was just the parents alone who do not reply, the tuition coordinator is considered to be a lucky one. This is because I have also experienced before, the feeling of being ignored by a tutor. Of course, I understand that sometimes, when tutors do not reply, it could probably be that they are still having lessons. However, some of them do not reply at all, not even a sms, at the end of the day! At times, I really do wonder, does it really harm to sms a simple reply of either yes or no? Nonetheless, tutors still continue to get back to you only when it is too late. As a result, you fail to clinch the deal and end up disappointing the tutor. Therefore, I hereby call out to all parents and tutors to kindly reply the poor tuition coordinators as fast as possible. Just like parents/tutors requesting for our efficiency, we would also need a prompt reply from parents/tutors to proceed on with our work. Thus, next time when you receive a sms/call from the tuition coordinator, please get back to her as soon as possible. With that, I will end here. Thank you for taking your precious time to read through this blog entry.... | | By: Life of a Tuition Coordinator | | |
| | Story 5 - Tuition coordinators/tutors who lie? | | 2007-02-10 12:18:03 | | This entry is definitely familiar to many tutors and tuition coordinators. Think about it, have there been times when you are tempted to lie so as to close the case/get hired by the parent? For me, the answer is simply yes. Most of the time, parents will request for experienced tutors but sometimes, it is really difficult to find one that fits the bill nicely. The tutors who are experienced might not be satisfied with the rate or are willing to travel the extra mile. On the other hand, the tutors who are keen to take up the assignment have either no experience or little experience. At this point of time, you would probably be thinking to yourself, "How about just exaggerating about the years of experience the tutors have actually?" Of course, another side of you would be trying to abolish this thought because it is not the right thing to do. So which side emerges as the final winner is dependable on your determination to resist the temptation. I understand it is hard to resist sometimes but I always make sure I do because I believe in trust between the coordinators and parents. Also, there is always the risk of being found out by the parent and you might have just successfully destroyed the good image in the parents' mind. Lying might enable us to close case/get hired more easily but I would rather not take this risk because honesty is our best policy. Do you agree?... | | By: Life of a Tuition Coordinator | | |
| | Story 4 - Tutors backing out/running away | | 2007-02-10 12:16:26 | | "Yes, I am very interested to take up this assignment." Isn't this a delightful statement to a tuition coordinator? Especially when this means you no longer have to search high and low for a tutor? You then arrange for the tutor to go down for an interview/first lesson and to which, the parent called to inform you the tutor did not turn up. When you asked the tutor why, all he/she can say is, "I am too busy to commit." How contradicting from the keenness shown previously. Well, this is not the worst scenario a tuition coordinator has to face. What is worse is actually tutors who go missing after the first lesson. Then, to avoid calls from tuition coordinators, they will reject your calls so you cannot get in touch with them. In the end, you have to appease the parents and start your search all over again. "A waste of time and effort", you thought to yourself. For me, it is not just about that but also the destruction of trust we placed in that tutor. Of course, I have also encountered cases where tutors can't be contacted the moment you tried to finalise details. Often, many will tell me that tuition agencies con the tutors of their money and thus, they fear working for agencies. However, coordinators are also worried that tutors will back out/run away at the last minute. So who actually fears who? Take the time to wonder.... | | By: Life of a Tuition Coordinator | | |
