  1. Does anyone know someone working in the Oregon public school system? Preferably in an administrative role? I’d love an introduction to talk about tutoring kids.

  3. Pro-tip: if you put up your tutoring job ad in all caps, YOU WILL GET MORE INTEREST!

    No, you won't. You'll just appear to be yelling and desperate. It is off-putting.

  4. PSA for folks seeking tutoring help:

    Be on the ball!

    This morning, I ran into another flake. More than 15 minutes into the session I had scheduled yesterday, the parent (or the child) told me that they hadn't gotten the email from the tutoring platform.

    😩

    By this time, I had left the session. I wait 15 minutes for people to show up. That's in my no-show policy.

    I mentioned to them yesterday that they'd get an email.

    I also mentioned yesterday getting into the tutoring platform **a bit early** to debug camera/mic issues.

    WTF did they do between yesterday and today??? Did they get on the platform a bit early? Nope... because I would have heard about the email problem earlier.

    There were already signs that I'd run into a flake. The job ad I responded to was from December 2025. What happened between then and now?

    I told them that I don't work under such conditions and wished them good luck. This had the hallmark of folks expecting last-minute miracles, and I'm not a saint nor a god. I don't do miracles.

    Again, be on the ball when asking for a tutor's time. Most folks are on the ball, but those that are not, man... 🤬

  5. Yikes...

    Someone just contacted me for math tutoring.

    I answered their ad in December 2025.

  6. Seen in an ad for SAT tutoring:

    "I want to focus on improving my Desmos skills to make every question solvable using it. "

    A. This is impossible. Some questions are just not adaptable to Desmos.

    B. Even if this were possible, this is undesirable. A lot of questions are solvable faster if you don't involve Desmos. Some questions can be answered just by reading the question. You don't even have to write anything down. Why would you involve Desmos in these cases?

  14. Het artikel “From AI Tutors to AI Study Mates” is een bevestiging van wat al een tijd duidelijk is: AI-tools die lerenden helpen om taken sneller af te ronden, bevorderen het leren niet noodzakelijk, maar kunnen het leren juist ondermijnen. Deze bijdrage legt echter ook een relatie met L&D. Daar zit ‘m de toegevoegde waarde van deze bijdrage. #artificialintelligence #generatieveai #tutoring #leren #learninganddevelopment #onderwijs #edutoot te-learning.nl/hoe-kun-je-ai-t

    "I need help with an Algebra 3/4 test."

    :catthinking: Does Algebra 3/4 come after Prealgebra but before Algebra 1??? :derpface:

  17. Well... I tutored this autistic student, but it turned out to be a single meeting.

    The mother made sure to tell me that I wasn't the problem. She thanked me for my kindness, etc.

    At the same time, I'm 😩

  18. Another one bites the dust...

    I've tutored a couple of students who decided to not continue with me, but I think it is the class that is not suited to them more than me.

    They had a handout that talked about the domain of a function in very general terms (no mention of avoiding division by zero, or square roots, etc.), but the exercises they had about domains were very specific (yep, we had to handle division by zero, square roots, and more exotic stuff). To put it differently, the exercises they had required much more facility with the material than the class handout they showed me.

    Nominally, I was tutoring Calculus, but the material they had (both the handout and the exercises) felt like a revision that reached back to Algebra. And they were not completely at ease with this. 😬

    I can't imagine what's going to happen if they stay in this Calculus class and start having to deal with limits, etc.

    I should note that this is pretty rare that I get students who present me with a case like this. (Even though, I've just had a similar case with SAT. It is still rare.)

  19. Chicago made it so every public school student can use their school ID as a #LibraryCard 📚. No forms, no extra steps. It gives over 300k students instant access to #books, #tutoring, and online resources 🙌

    Chicago Turns All Public Schoo...

  20. #ThreeGoodThings #3goodthings
    1) A student that was difficult has dropped lessons #tutoring
    2) my youtube channel is getting busier ... Good conversations #physics
    3) mothers day... so daughter no2 will make a chocolate cake.

  21. TLDR; Anyone looking for affordable #science #tutoring let me know.

    👩‍🔬 <- My aunt is a wonderful human being. She is qualified as a #science teacher and over the last year has undergone quite an upheaval in life, relocating to a totally new area in the process. She’s now looking to get back to work via personal tutoring from the new year onwards.

    She’s not in it for the money, preferring to help those less advantaged. If you know anyone in secondary education in the UK who wants/needs extra tuition let me know and I’ll put you in touch.

    Ideally she’ll get some work local to her in the #Malvern area (#Worcestershire) that she can do in person, but she can also do a few slots per week remote tutoring via Jitsi or similar.

  23. "The runaway success of Chinese artificial intelligence models such as DeepSeek and Qwen has spurred every industry, from health care to agriculture to education, to integrate AI.

    Adoption of AI models in education and tutoring has been especially fast, as the Chinese government pushes to accelerate the country’s technological progress against the U.S., and with anxious parents willing to try anything to help their children succeed.

    Like university teacher Wu Ling, who while looking for an English tutor for her 12-year-old son in Jiangsu province, picked a $1,170 robot dog.

    The one-foot tall AlphaDog, which weighs about eight kilos (18 pounds) was developed by robotics startup Weilan and is powered by DeepSeek’s AI model. In addition to practicing English with Wu’s son, it chats with him about current events, dances to his guitar music, and, through its built-in camera, helps Wu monitor the home when she is away. It has become a part of the family, she told Rest of World.

    “My son needs company, but we are a one-child family,” Wu said. “He asks the dog about all kinds of things — national news, weather, geography. Through AlphaDog, he is learning what the world is like.”"

    In other words, not a tutor at all. Tutors look at your working out, identify where you made a mistake, and explain it to you so that you don't make that same mistake again, check that you understand, then give you some more similar questions to ingrain your new skill before moving on.

  25. Intensieve tutoring is echt effectief, maar lastig toe te passen op grote schaal: kansen voor AI-toepassingen?
    Gisteren las ik Een reality check voor tutoring in het onderwijs. Pedro de Bruyckere bespreekt daarin een recent rapport over tutoring. Dit rapport nuanceert de optimistische verhalen over deze interventie. Ik zie echter mogelijkheden voor AI om hier een positieve draai aan te geven. #artificialintelligence #generatieveai #tutoring #onderzoek #onderwijs #edutoot

  26. This last week, I'm finishing how I have spent the vast majority of my life.

    Through providing pro bono services, I had the privilege of learning (via horribly abusive abelist systems) to those in need, without a voice but with the empathy, understanding & insight they deserve.

  27. More than 20 states sue Trump administration over frozen #AfterSchoolCare, #SummerPrograms and more.

    Some of the withheld money funds after-school and summer programming at Boys & Girls Clubs, the #YMCA or #PublicSchools, attended by 1.4 million children and teenagers nationwide

    Excerpt: "At the East Providence summer camp, Aiden, a rising third grader, played tag, built structures with magnetic tiles, played a fast-paced game with the other kids to review addition and subtraction, learned about pollination, watched a nature video and ate club-provided chicken nuggets.

    "Veteran teachers from his school corrected him when he spoke without raising his hand and offered common-sense advice when a boy in his group said something inappropriate.

    " 'When someone says something inappropriate, you don’t repeat it,' teacher Kayla Creighton told the boys between answering their questions about horseflies and honeybees.

    "Indeed, it’s hard to find a more middle-of-the road organization in this country than the Boys & Girls Club.

    "Just last month, a Republican and a Democrat sponsored a resolution in the U.S. House celebrating the 165-year-old organization as a 'beacon of hope and opportunity.' The Defense Department awarded the club $3 million in 1991 to support children left behind when their parents deployed for the Persian Gulf. And ever since, the Boys & Girls Club has created clubs on military installations to support the children of service members. Military families can sign up their kids for free.

    [...]

    "Aiden’s mother has started looking into afternoon child care for September when kids return to school in Rhode Island.

    " 'It costs $220 a week,' Reyes said, her eyes expanding. 'I can’t afford that.'

    "The single mother and state worker said she’ll probably ask her 14-year-old son to stay home and watch Aiden. That will mean he would have to forgo getting a job when he turns 15 in the fall and couldn’t play basketball and football.

    " 'I don’t have any other option,' she said.

    "At home, Aiden would likely stay inside on a screen. That would be heartbreaking since he’s thrived getting tutoring and 'learning about healthy boundaries' from the Boys & Girls Club program, Reyes said."

  28. Maybe one day, I will take my own advice and value my own time and worth.

    Another weekend morning #tutoring client and I gave them an extra 2.5hrs free.

    That said, reading their report card, and seeing their progress was delightful.

    So perhaps they earned it?
