this is my 100th post of my blog...i wanted to make it a cheerful post...but it was not to be...because i have no choice but to vent my frustration on this post...its not good to keep your frustrations to yourself..you might not necessarily feel better..at least thats what i think...
so this is about my tuition job....i have been going on this job for close to 2 months now..and i can really say this... I am not enjoying it...not a single bit...
i haven't been able to go through a single lesson with the student feeling happy at all...every lesson..the student tests my patience....now its not as if i need some patient tester..because i am a rather patient person...but sometimes it can get a wee bit too much...and i was on the verge of exploding last week..
i know your knowledge and foundation of english isn't good..so thats why i am here as a tutor to help you...to clarify your doubts...so let me help you..
but you seem to choose not to do it...i gave you assignments...grammar assignments...to do...yet you take a long time to do it...okie nvm....i understand Rome wasn't built in a day...so i'll do it step by step...but after 1 month..i expect some improvement...at least...pass all the assignments u gave me or...mayb get 4/10..not thats considered improvement....but you have been giving me average work...i didnt even see the effort being put in...even though u would check the meaning of the words with the electric dictionary you have...but..the kind of attitude that u gave me is simply making me mad...
when i mark ur assignments and correct your mistakes with you...you would just look at the book...and sometimes when im talking...you would be distracted...can u just pay attention??? and when i ask u if u have anymore questions regarding the assignments..u would just say..nope there isnt...
den i gave u another assignment of the same kind...same lousy attitude...same work...im growing sick and tired of this...
den on tuesday..i gave u an mcq comprehension....i ask if u did ur work seriously..u said no..u didnt....DUDE WHAT"S UR PROBLEM?? i can be a very patient and fun guy to talk to...but show me and the work i gave u some respect will you??
ur parents work hard back in ur homeland to pay for ur tuition...yet you are giving this kind of attitude towards learning...its English mind you...have u any idea how important it is in the singapore education...if its other countries...maybe u can afford to dun give a damn about english...but hey...ur in singapore now...Wake up man!!
the reason im still in this job..is because partly of the money...and also to help contribute to my family's income...yes this pay is very good no doubt....but come to think of it....i think the money isnt so important now...i prefer the AO camps job as compared to this..though the pay mayb much lesser...
i am the first to admit this..i am not a very good tutor..but at least i tried...im trying to do what i can to help you improve ur english...but u see ....when it comes to teaching..all forms of it...it requires 2 way communication...if u dun show the correct attitude....it is virtually impossible to learn the subject properly... whenever i leave...i dun feel any sense of satisfaction at all...
when i got to know about ur exam results...i was stunned...shocked... it left me asking myself..have i failed in tutoring you? i was feeling rather bad about it...really...though the exams were taken oni 2 weeks after i started teaching you...i still feel as though maybe i could have done something to make the result look better...
u dun seem to appreciate my effort..it sucks man..the feeling...but as a tutor i know i should never give up on a student...that is what i will do...i dun really give up that easily....but when school starts...im not sure if i have the time to tutor u anymore....maybe i am just not cut out for tutoring..
hate such posts....
