Hi, I made this one. I've played Wordle-likes for years and always wanted to build my own, but I never had an idea that felt like mine.

The push came from a strange place. Half of what I read these days is written by AI, and it's never short. Every email, every doc, twelve words where five would do. At some point I said the phrase out loud, long story short, and realised it was a game.

So: you get a twelve-word sentence. You rephrase it in exactly five of its own words. Real English, same meaning, your job is to work out which words carry the sentence and which are just dressed up to look important. Scoring is Wordle style, blue for right word in the right spot, orange for in the answer but elsewhere, grey for out. Five tries, one sentence a day.

My wife and my brother were the playtesters. An early version let "the" beat proper words in the answer, which felt awful to lose to, so the answers now always favour the concrete word. That one change ate a whole weekend.

I’ve been tutoring one-on-one for several years. The program I use is best when conducted one-on-one. Recently, I was asked to tutor (in a different subject using a different program) two students at the same grade level together. If you charge hourly, how do you adjust your hourly rate for two students in one session?

I’ve signed up to Superprof, my tutor, and like 2 other websites. I’ve also been posting weekly in Facebook groups. And nobody I know has children I can teach. I’ve been trying for a month. I want to tutor maths and physics gcse and a level

Hello everyone! I’m 15 years old and currently a high school student. I’m interested in starting tutoring as a way to earn some money while also helping younger students. I’d like to tutor children under 10, since I feel more confident teaching kids that age. I’m mainly interested in English, reading comprehension, and literature, although I may also be able to help with subjects like science, history, and basic math. I don’t have formal tutoring experience yet tho. Most of my family and friends don’t really seek tutoring, but I do often help my classmates study and explain things when they need help. I’m not an honor student because of how math brings my grades down, but I consistently do well in subjects such as English, science, and civics/history. I’d really like to explore online tutoring, including potentially tutoring international students, but I’m finding it difficult to figure out where someone my age can legitimately find students and how to get started even locally. And also i have some questions for young and/or online tutors here!! How did you find your first students? Are there any legitimate platforms or communities you’d recommend? Is it realistic to find international students as a minor? What would be a reasonable beginner rate? And lastly, what should I prepare before taking my first student?
Any tips or advice would be really appreciated. Thank you! :)

Hello!

I was looking for some advice on tutoring. I’ve never helped tutor a child, mostly just bachelor level colleagues. Does anyone have any advice or additional resources?

I’m checking out the local public library for resources…
I have the time, and my sister asked me to help tutor my nephew in reading, language arts, and math. I asked her if she could as his teacher for an outline or curriculum plan so I can somewhat plan support around the subjects she’s teaching. Any advice on how to word an email to her on this would be great! I wouldn’t want to accidentally step on teachers toes in any way.

Mostly just looking for direction and advice. He’s a clever kid, just has trouble focusing and applying himself. Any help is appreciated!!!

Paying a professional tutor is ideal, but not an option at this time. & We don’t want him to fall behind, so this is the next best thing!

Thanks in advance. 🙏🏼 😊

I'm a new teacher and i have started in worst season summer where i barelly can scrape students.

Do you have any ideas how can i level up myself and find more students.

Maybe some agency that scopes them?

Usually I expect payment upfront but have become more lax as I have never gotten scammed... never again...

Yesterday I met a student. The dad wants a short 15 min intro call which is as much as I do in terms of discussion and I am rarely requested to do this so I am fine. I had sent bank details and the dad said he will pay me in cash back when he's in town after I completed the sessions. I said politely that I don't accept cash and would like a bank transfer. No payment as of now and was likely scammed.

Just a vent post and a warning

Edit: the dad agrees and the lesson went ahead. Tge paymeby refers to the price of the 1hr lesson after the free 15min call

I graduated from college with a degree in Finance back in May, and I have a five month old that I take care of full time. I’m looking to make some money while still being a SAHM. I am fortunate to have family nearby that can watch baby while I work for a little bit here and there.

I don’t have any experience tutoring but I’ve always liked helping kids and classmates of mine with schoolwork. My only experience teaching kids would be my two younger siblings and those I’ve babysat.

I would like to do elementary or middle school math. I also wouldn’t mind doing elementary English or algebra for older kids. What should I do to get started? Where can I brush up on the current curriculum for these ages/subjects? What makes a good tutor stand out?

Edit: I am looking to do in-person tutoring primarily. I hope the title isn’t misleading😅.

Just curious to know about whether a personal tutoring allows us more time freedom in comparison to e-Learning business? Also how should we start with personal tutoring and expand it through elearning business model?

Hi All! I specialize in tutoring and educational/career advising for neuro divergent folks of all ages (grade 3 to graduate school). If you all find any folks looking for a neuro divergent focused tutors please let me know. Thanks!!

This next door ad is for local folks but 90 percent of my clients are online.

I also have an Etsy page where I've started creating resources for neuro divergent learners specifically. Let me know if anyone is interested in knowing more.

This job can be stressful at times so it's always nice to build a community (even online)!

As the title says, I want to help students with the basics. I usually struggle with simple concepts, so I think there are others who also take time to grasp things, and that's okay. I am willing to help with basic topics because I am a bachelor's student. I can help with anything related to studies, and of course, it's free.

Hey all,

Through local networking I’m currently teaching two students at a decent rate of 15pph. I’ve got A*s in English Literature and History A-level (received the highest marks in my year, which I of course want to mention on my profile!) and I feel like I can expand to more students. What’s the best way to go about it, printing and handing out papers? Online? Or am I going too fast?

Sorry if this is basic or shows up frequently, and thanks for the help :)

I tutor a lot of subjects— mainly all levels of math, SAT (RW & Math), Physics, as well as college application essay feedback/drafting. I’ve also started a newer “accountability/organizational coaching” where I help students put together calendars, to-do lists, teach them effective methods for studying/notetaking, and keep them accountable with their academics and extracurriculars.

It’s here where I’m genuinely having to coach the parents instead of the kids. The parents are almost always hoping their kid gets into some Ivy League school and basically micromanage the crap out of their kids’ lives. Imo it’s the reason why they’re seeking out this sort of coaching in the first place, cuz the kids never learned to take responsibility for themselves.

Ie, I have a 9th grader whose father has picked out classes for the next 4 years?? Another father who’s putting his kid into individual/outside of school tutoring for every single class they’re taking. Which I think is counterproductive and time-consuming.

How do I deal with this?

Hi, I have been on various apps and websites since the past few months searching for students to teach them online, but I haven't been successful in finding even one student, not because I don't have the skill, but that is because I am a college student and people think that I might be too young to teach students.

I am planning to go to med school but before that I need to be independent and own some money already so that I am not dependent on my parents for my fees. If anyone of you can recommend me to the students around them, I'd be really grateful.

I am able to teach all subjects till Standard Xth and NEET level Biology to students of Standard XIth and XIIth. I can also help school and college students with their assignments.

I'm an A-Level Philosophy and Religious Studies tutor and have been for about 10 years now.

The single biggest thing I have noticed over the last year is the rise of AI. I see countless posts on this subreddit asking how AI can be integrated into lessons, how it can be used as a tool. Do not do it. AI has consistently been a massive hindrance to every single student I have tutored who has used it. At present, there is not a single useful or helpful way that AI can be integrated into tutoring.

- Using AI to mark essays. This does not work; AI will tell you what you want to hear. No matter how much you tell it to be critical or even if you give it the mark scheme and tell it to stick to it rigorously, it will not. This has led to students grossly over inflating their own results and believing they are at a higher standard than they are.

- Using AI as a revision tool. This does not work; it does not matter what input an AI gets, it will make mistakes. Students have sent me countless revision posters, notes, essays that have been generated by AI and they all have mistakes in them

- Getting AI to test your students. This also does not work. If you get something wrong, AI will sometimes spin the answer to it looks like you almost sort of got the question right.

I am seeing students become more and more reliant on AI and no matter how much I tell them not to use it, it's too tempting for them as a safety blanket. I tell them I can tell their work was generated with AI, I point out the mistakes, I tell them it cannot be relied upon. I feel like this is falling on deaf ears.

I have a reasonably high success rate in elevating my students' grades. I take on a lot of D/E students and I have consistently been able to get them up to a B or an A. However this year I have noticed so much more AI usage and for the first time, two of my students came out of their A Levels with a C and D in Philosophy. The two students who got these grades used AI as their safety blanket. I spent hours and hours with these students planning detailed essays, manually making revision posters, manually making flashcards, making them personalised resources that explain complex concepts in detail. We have over 50 pages of essays that we have written together on a Google Doc and this has been unused and they just go straight back to AI.

To all the posts on here promoting language models: this is harming students.

How do you deal students who rely on AI?

I am currently looking for an experienced and reliable tutor for my 8th-grade son.

Hey everyone,

I'm offering one-on-one private tuition for Accountancy, Business Studies, and Economics.

I'm based near Dayanand Sagar College, so it works well for students in that area (Kumaraswamy Layout, Uttarahalli, Banashankari, etc.), but happy to discuss other locations too.

If you or someone you know is looking for help in these subjects, feel free to DM me.

Can share more details about timings, fees, and teaching style over chat.

Thanks!
