Tutor Interview Questions Part 1 - Private Tutoring

Tutor Interview Questions Part 1 BobbiM Mar 13, 2013 If you want a job as a tutor, you need to be ready and prepared to answer the questions that potential clients will want to know. Tutor Interview Questions: An Introduction This means you need to do your homework on the following items: Who is your customer? What is their motivation for seeking a tutor? For them, what does success look like? 1. Who is Your Customer? If a client is seeking a tutor, that client is most likely a parent who is looking for a tutor for their child. So, the real customer here is the parent. 2. What is their Motivation for Seeking a Tutor? What does that mean for you, the tutor? A few things: The motivation for the parent in seeking out a tutor is that their child is not performing well in school, or that they could perform much better. Another motivation for a parent is that a standardized test is coming up such as the SAT Test or the ACT Test, and the parent would like their child to be completely prepared to take the test. 3. What Does Success Look Like? These in general are the motivations that most parents will have. So, this means, then, that you need to convey the following: I am a tutor that will help your child perform better than he is performing right now. I am the tutor that will help your child get an amazing score on the SAT or ACT test. If you convey the two items above and demonstrate in the past how youve done that for other clients, then youll be very competitive and will likely be receiving a job offer.

About the Virtual Writing Tutor Grammar Checker

About the Virtual Writing Tutor Grammar Checker Nicholas Walker, creator of the Virtual Writing Tutor For a list of Virtual Writing Tutor features with video tutorials on how to use them, see here. This article is about the motivation to build and use the Virtual Writing Tutor for pedagogical purposes. Until recently, I had been correcting student errors by hand, returning assignments a week or two later. Like other teachers, it always struck me that 7-14 days was a long time for learners to wait for corrections, but with the large number of students I had in my classes, it was the fastest I could get the job done. Even then, I was concerned that my slow method of error correction was constraining the amount of writing practice my learners were getting in my courses. To explain, if it takes two weeks to correct students writing and students expect corrective feedback on every writing task they do (or they wont do it), then the most a teacher can assign is one writing assignment every two weeks. Nevertheless, students language development benefits from writing more often. Of course, I tried using MS Word and other automatic error correctors, but they were not particularly useful at catching  second language errors in my students writing. I then turned to Moodle and developed an extensive  auto-linking glossary  of errors, but the glossary filter put a heavy load on Bokomarus  Moodle server  and slowed everything down. So, in the spring of 2012 while my college students were out on  strike, I launched the Virtual Writing Tutor and set the following goals for myself: To increase the quantity of corrective feedback available to our students To improve its quality To improve its timeliness To increase its frequency To enhance ESL writing pedagogy Increasing the Quantity of Feedback: Catching More Errors Most automatic grammar checkers miss the kinds of errors that second language learners make. They seem more focused on  the kinds of errors that writers in their first language make  instead. I want to remedy that by catching transfer errors, tense errors and  collocation errors. While human teachers can potentially catch all of these errors when they correct assignments by hand,  no teacher has either the time  or space in the margins to correct every error in a college-length writing assignment or explain at length the nature of each error. The VirtualWritngTutor can provide more detailed feedback on as many errors I program it to detect. Improving the Quality of Feedback: Details, Links, and Resources Skeptics of automatic grammar checkers sometimes interpret the occasional false alarm, bad feedback, or  missed error  as a sign that the quality of automatic feedback can never be as good as the feedback a human teacher can give. I am working on these individual problems, and I believe that I can overcome them with time. Indeed, members can help me by reporting issues with the system using the  Report button  on this website. In the meantime, there are other aspects to feedback quality that sceptics should not overlook. Hand-correction usually involves a combination of underlining, terse metalinguistic correction codes and the occasional explicit correction. The Virtual Writing Tutor does all that, too. It locates an error, provides a metalinguistic explanation of the error (not just a correction code) and suggests one or more ways to correct the error. However, the Virtual Writing Tutor goes one step further and displays a clickable link to relevant online remedial practice activities and resources. In this way, the Virtual Writing Tutor can generate a kind of instant curriculum, tailor-made for each learner and based on the learners immediate learning needs. That in itself goes well beyond current hand-coding practices. So, all things considered, the Virtual Writing Tutor has the potential to give better feedback. Example text Try it for yourself. Click the text below to see what the Virtual Writing Tutor can do. I make a lot of mistake that negatively effect my writing. Thats not good. I want always to make the good choice of verbs. I want also to improve my pronunciation. My English-speaking friends talk about to help, but they never do. I work in a big store on the south shore of Montreal where there are a lot of immigrants people. Im speaking every day to a men that works there. I think practicing with immigrants is equally as effective. So far, I have work there since 2 weeks and my English is getting more better. Also, I have learned already a lot about retail, but I will like to have a better job. I am waiting still for my first paycheck. They dont have paid me yet. When I will get paid, I will pay my parking tickets. Nevertheless if my English would be more better, I would definitely get a better paying job. I often wonder how many opportunities I would had had if I paid more attention to my nice English teacher in high school. Improving the Timeliness of Feedback With large class-sizes during the busy midterm period, the timeliness of the corrective feedback on writing we give our students tends to suffer. Teachers struggle to get corrections back to their students by the next class, but sometimes students have to wait two weeks. When assignments are returned, students exclaim, It was so long ago that I have forgotten what I was trying to say here. With the Virtual Writing Tutor, feedback is instant. What could be more timely than that? Improving the Frequency of Feedback The Virtual Writing Tutor is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Instead of receiving corrective feedback on only one draft of an essay or narrative composition, learners can now get feedback on every draft throughout the writing process. The system will never get annoyed or tired. Learners can write a paragraph, check it, write another check it, and so on. The Virtual Writing Tutor makes it possible for learners to get feedback as often as they want it. Another point worth considering is that teachers can now give more writing assignments than ever before. Whereas teachers might have been reluctant to add to their own workload by assigning additional writing tasks to their students, with the availability of the Virtual Writing Tutor they can ask for error-free texts every class and the burden of error correction will never increase. In this way, students will get feedback on errors as often as the teacher wants or thinks is necessary. Improving Writing Pedagogy In many colleges around the world, writing is taught as a collaborative exchange between student and teacher. The teacher assigns a writing task, the student produces one draft, the teacher provides corrective feedback on it, then the student redrafts the text and submits it for evaluation. Sometimes a student can feel somewhat mystified and betrayed if, after trying to respond to all the teachers correction codes, the student then receives a low score on the essay since the teacher was in effect a collaborator on the final draft. A better way to teach writing might be for teachers to ask students to consult the Virtual Writing Tutor throughout the drafting process as just one of a variety of revision strategies. Other revision strategies might include the use of self-assessment checklists, peer-review tasks, and participation in teacher-student writing conferences. In this way, the teacher can evaluate the use of a range of revision strategies and not the students success at responding to corrective feedback received on one draft of one essay from one source. During peer-assessment activities classmates might find it useful to submit a students writing to the Virtual Writing Tutor to see if the revision strategy was used and which suggestions were ignored. In this way, a teacher can put the following question on a peer-assessment grid:  Has the writer eliminated all major errors from his or her writing?  Such a question teaches all learners in the class to be judicious consumers of corrective feedback for life. Power Tools for Teachers Just as learners will have to become judicious consumers of automated corrective feedback, teachers will have to reassess their old approach to hand-coding errors. There is nothing about the Virtual Writing Tutor that prevents teachers from continuing their practice of giving hand-coded feedback. However, like a master builder with a new power saw, ESL teachers will have to reflect carefully on when to pull this new power tool out of the toolbox and when to do things the old-fashioned way. Heres why: 1.     The VWT is fast, really fast. 2.     It provides error correction upon demand 24/7. 3.     It can provide feedback on multiple drafts of text, not just the first and last draft. 4.     It can explain at length the nature of the error, something human teachers dont have time or space in the margins for. 5.     It displays links to specific resources and remedial activities to help learners eliminate errors from future writing. 6.     It is available to students and non-students alike, supporting lifelong learning. 7.     It is completely free for teachers and their students to use. However 8.     It provides unfocused feedback, correcting every error it finds without regard to the learners readiness. 9.     It generates false alarms, suggesting unnecessary corrections or providing explanations that dont always make sense. 10.  It still misses lots of errors. Get InvolvedStay in Touch Of course, the Virtual Writing Tutor is  a work in progress. If you are an ESL teacher and would like to help me make the VWT better, please Suggest a New Error or Report a False Alarm using the email utility provided or by leaving a message on my  Facebook wall or by posting a comment on my  blog. I would love to hear from you, and your feedback will help me provide the ESL world with better corrective feedback. Please follow and like us:

Each student is responsible for writing about the goings on at the company from the perspective of one of the employees there. Each week, they write a section of the story incorporating the grammar and the vocabulary from the lesson.

The SAT Switch What Will 2016 Mean For Me - TutorNerds

The SAT Switch What Will 2016 Mean For Me - TutorNerds Irvine SAT Tutor Tips | The SAT Switch: What Will 2016 Mean For Me? Irvine SAT Tutor Tips | The SAT Switch: What Will 2016 Mean For Me? Students are wondering what will happen when  the Redesigned SAT is introduced in spring of 2016. How will their scores from the Redesigned SAT compare to scores from the current SAT? What happens if they need to take both? How will it affect their ability to get into college? These questions and many, many more are rattling around in the heads of students and parents causing undue anxiety during this time of academic change. Although standardized testing is a reality for the vast majority of college-bound high school students, it shouldnt be as difficult as all that. There are ways that parents and students can prepare for the switch and reduce their stress. 1. Consider the ACT Students who want to take exams this winter and next spring should consider the ACT as a good alternative. Many students take both the SAT and ACT these days, so why not focus on the ACT for now? If a student received a 27 on their ACT this fall but would like to improve their score to a 30, they have plenty of time to do that without significant change in study strategy. The SAT,  on the other hand, will be entirely different. 2. A holistic admissions process Students are encouraged to remember that many colleges, even large public universities, have a holistic admissions process. This means they will look at the whole student. They want to know about a student’s volunteer activities, whether or not they held a part time job, what their specific background is, what they can add to the university and what they plan to study, as well as good old standardized test scores. It’s extra important for students to write a superb personal statement and make sure their admission form is filled with extra-curricular activities and AP classes. Students applying for admission in 2017 or 2018 will still have plenty of time to add to their current resume (READ: Tips From a Private Irvine SAT Tutor: The Free SAT Study Guide). 3. Subject tests Students who are concerned about their performance, or how it will be judged, on the Redesigned SAT should consider taking any number of subject tests. If all goes well on the Redesigned SAT,  students will have excellent reinforcements to show colleges that theyre serious about learning, and they have acquired adequate skills during high school. If things don’t go well, students have subject tests as a backup. 4.  Avoid taking both exams If in any way possible, its important for students to avoid taking both the current 2015 SAT and the 2016 Redesigned SAT. These two tests are largely different and studying for both would be not only confusing, but time-consuming to a point that it will likely affect their other academic studies as well as their work life balance. Students who want to take the current SAT should make sure they do so before the deadline. Students who know they will have to take the Redesigned SAT at least once, are encouraged to focus their studies on that particular exam and acquire the skills necessary to do well on that test (READ: 8 SAT Essay Tips). 5. Preparing for the Redesigned SAT At this point, many students will be taking the SAT for the first time as it has been redesigned to be introduced in spring of next year. This can be overwhelming because students wont know how to compare themselves to their fellow students, also their competition, and may struggle with the stress of the unknown. A good way to deal with these issues is to sit down and start studying early. The College Board website has some excellent, complementary, study tools for students to get started on right away. Students should also rest assured that the educational community is following updates and changes as they are introduced to the public. To be on the safe side, students taking the Redesigned SAT should consider starting their studies earlier than normal. As a result, they will have time to adjust to any new study habits or learning tools that are presented within the next few months. Learn more about the redesigned SAT here!

6 Science Scholarships for STEM Majors

6 Science Scholarships for STEM Majors Tips from an Irvine College Consultant:   6 Science Scholarships for STEM Majors Science and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) are becoming more and more popular as a field of study at the college level. Additionally, there are many entry-level job opportunities in the fields of science and technology. It’s no wonder why students want to study these fields in college but first they have to find a way to pay for tuition. Every penny counts when it comes to paying tuition and fees. Regardless of the specific scientific field, students should look at every scholarship option available to them; there are many large and small scholarships for students interested in studying science and technology (READ: College Scholarships 101: Burgers and Donuts?). 1. American Chemical Society Scholars Program This scholarship is geared for high school seniors as well as college students who happen to be a minority. As one would guess from the title, this program will help students study chemistry or a major field of study related to chemistry, including environmental science and chemical technology.  The American Chemical Society Scholars offers a maximum award of $20,000 ($5,000 per year over a period of four years.) 2. Davidson Fellows Scholarship This scholarship is specifically for students who are 17 years of age or younger and who have completed projects in math or science fields (as well as literature, music, and philosophy). In order to successfully apply to the scholarship, students will need to prove that their project has the potential to make a significant and positive contribution to the community or society at large.  The maximum award is $50,000. 3. EngineerGirl! Essay Contest This scholarship asks girls and boys alike to write an essay about a different subject each year. This is where an Orange County math or science tutor comes in handy because many students heavily geared towards math and science need help expressing themselves in the written word, especially if they are required to write about a topic unrelated to the sciences. In the case of the EngineerGirl! Engineering Essay, students are asked to write about how technology can be integrated into another subject. This scholarship is available to students in grades 3 through 12 and offers a maximum award of $500. 4. FIRST Robotics Competition Taking robotics as an elective or during a summer program has become increasingly popular the past few years. The creation of robotics is a great way for students to use multiple parts of their brain and utilize their skills in both artistic design and technology. In the case of the FIRST Robotics Competition, students are expected to work with an adult mentor to build a robot that can complete some sort of task. The FIRST Robotics Competition and Scholarship Program (related to the FIRST Robotics Competition) offers over 160 scholarship opportunities, some of which include a full tuition scholarship at tech universities around the country. This scholarship is geared towards high school juniors and seniors as well as students already enrolled in college. 5. Young Naturalist Awards This scholarship is research-based and is intended to increase participation in the sciences. Applicants will be required to create and complete a scientific investigation that includes observations and predictions. This is geared towards students who are willing to make trips outdoors or outside of the classroom to gather data and analyze it. In addition to conducting the project, students need to write an essay of anywhere between 500 words and 20 pages (depending on their grade level). This award is geared towards students in grades 7-12 and offers a maximum award of $2,500. 6. Xerox Technical Minority Scholarship Program This program is geared toward students who have a minimum GPA of 3.0 (that’s a B average) and who are interested in studying engineering, chemistry, or other scientific fields. This scholarship is meant to be used by minority students in order to increase their advancement in these innovative fields. Students must currently be enrolled in undergraduate or graduate school. The maximum award is $10,000. All blog entries, with the exception of guest bloggers, are written by Tutor Nerds. Are you an education professional?
