First, don't trust cram schools in society easily.
With the increasing demand of many parents to find tutors for their students, there are many kinds of cram schools in the society at present.
In fact, there are many teachers in cram schools, some of whom are retired old teachers. Although they have teaching experience, they haven't been on the platform for many years, so they can't really understand the new changes and new requirements of middle school curriculum, and they can't really grasp the new trends of the current senior high school entrance examination and college entrance examination. In addition, the main purpose of their cram school is to make money, and I believe there will be no good tutoring effect there. On the other hand, graduates from low-level normal colleges have no teaching experience at all. Because I can't find a job, I have to go to cram school to earn money to support myself. To tell the truth, maybe their learning level in high school may not be much better than your children's. What good effect will they have if they make up lessons there?
There is also a remedial class offered by in-service teachers, often during holidays. They found a person from each subject to set up a tutoring group and then attracted dozens of students to get together. Most of them are about new semester courses, and the fees are still very high. Although the teacher is qualified, the effect of cram schools for dozens of people will not be much better. Many students just reflect their familiarity with the new semester's courses. In addition, the fundamental purpose of this group of tutors is to make some money during the holidays. Who will really consider the effect of your child's tutoring?
The worst is those junior high school tutors. Many junior high school teachers don't study at night, but attend classes on Saturday and Sunday, so they have enough time to make up lessons for students to make money. For example, he teaches two classes at school, and usually spreads the story of making up lessons with students and parents at his home. If your child is mobilized to make up lessons, and your child doesn't go, then he will deliberately alienate your child in the school classroom, so many parents are very worried about this and are often unwilling to send their children to him to make up lessons. On Saturday and Sunday, from 7: 00 in the morning, there are about 20 people in each class for two hours, and then one class after another, continuously and uninterrupted. The teacher also took great pains to attend four or five classes a day, and of course a lot of money flowed into his pocket. A slightly better teacher can help students seriously in class, after all, students can still gain something. When the worst teacher teaches at school, some knowledge points are taught not in the class but in the cram school, so that only students who make up lessons from him can get high marks in the exam. Such a teacher probably belongs to the most immoral category.
The most irritating thing is the so-called remedial classes that make up the numbers. Tell a story about the sun. The cram school hired a farmer as a tutor! At home the other day, I suddenly received a phone call from a man in my hometown in the countryside. He said that he is now working as a tutor in a tutor service agency in our city. He knew that after I worked as a math teacher in a high school in this city, I got my home phone number from my parents. He said on the phone that he would borrow some high school math textbooks and tutorial books from me to help senior three students in the tutorial class learn math courses. On the phone, he also said that now the countryside is idle, staying at home is fine, and coming out to earn some money. Now, in a tutor service, if a student tutors 50 yuan for an hour, he will get 60%, that is, an hour of 30 yuan, which is much easier than farming at home to earn money.
I'm thinking that if people in my hometown can help him, I'll try my best to help him and send him a set of high school math textbooks in a few days. But on the other hand, I know everything about him very well. He is several years older than me. It has been more than 20 years since I put down my high school textbooks. I'm afraid I forgot all the math in my head when I was farming at home. Is it possible to pick up the math content more than 20 years ago at once? The most important thing is that the third year of high school resumed classes for four years in a row. In the end, I didn't even get into junior college, and finally I had to go back to the countryside to farm. Think about it. For those who haven't touched math textbooks for more than 20 years and haven't even been admitted to junior college for four years after resuming classes in senior three, if you have such a tutor, think about it. How can children be admitted to college?
Second, some suggestions and advice for parents to ask for a tutor.
Now many parents are trying their best to find a better tutor for their children and make up one or more courses for them. From a practical point of view, parents' wishes are good, but at present, the family education market in society is chaotic and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. If you really hire a tutor without ethics, it will not only waste money and children's time, but even lead to the misunderstanding of children's learning, which is really not worth the candle. Everyone has his own opinion on the matter of asking for a tutor. But how can we best make up lessons? For parents how to ask for a tutor, Sunshine talks about his own views and suggestions here:
1. Individual counseling is the most effective. Find an experienced teacher, and one-on-one tutoring is the best. Although the cost may be higher, it is worth it. Only in this way can the make-up teacher fully understand the students' problems and fully solve the students' learning problems.
2. Be sure to find an experienced teacher. Make up lessons, the teacher is the most important factor. Finding an on-the-job or experienced teacher to make up lessons is the best guarantee for the quality of making up lessons. Because in-service teachers or retired experienced senior high school teachers know the real learning situation of students and the trends of college entrance examination in recent years, they can really prescribe the right medicine and have a clear aim during the tutorial period.
We must proceed from the reality of students. Let the students put forward the knowledge to make up, let the make-up teacher prescribe the right medicine, and let the students master the initiative to make up the lessons to a certain extent. During the tutorial period, relatively speaking, the tutor solves the students' learning problems around the students. Only when teachers and students interact and actively cooperate can we have a good counseling effect.
4. Improve the efficiency of making up lessons per unit time. You can ask the make-up teacher to tell the students the content and topic of the make-up lesson in advance, so that when making up the lesson, the teacher only needs to talk about what he doesn't understand in that topic. If the teacher is asked to do some math problems on the spot, two hours will pass quickly, and the money will flow like water.
5. Let teachers pay attention to the guidance of learning methods. Learning methods are a major factor in students' poor grades, so it will be better for teachers to consciously give more guidance on learning methods when making up lessons.
6. Keep abreast of students' counseling. If you find a teacher to make up the lessons, parents should fully understand the situation of making up the lessons, make peace, adapt and have a good level, so as to know the effect of making up the lessons in time.
7. Never trust remedial classes. Many cram school teachers are often mixed, and it is difficult to meet good teachers. At the same time, during the cram school, his main purpose is to make money to a certain extent, and the effect of the cram school for students can only be placed in the second place. As far as I know, many tutors in cram schools are almost unemployed. They not only have no practical teaching experience, but also have no profound knowledge base, not to mention understanding the real learning situation of students' learning and the dynamics of college entrance examination. Therefore, such a cram school must not be credulous.
8. It is the key to mobilize children's learning attitude. If you want to make up classes, you must first ask your child's permission. If he has a positive remedy idea, it will have a good effect. In addition, it is necessary to find a tutor who can convince children to accept and convince them from the aspects of teaching methods and teachers' knowledge, as well as teachers' words and deeds and lecture style. Only in this way can there be good communication between teachers and students and good results can be achieved.
9. The improvement of learning is not in family education. Counseling can only lead the way and answer questions. The real improvement of learning lies in the students' efforts after class. It is suggested that students should know what their knowledge topics need to be solved by teachers before counseling, so as to really improve the efficiency of counseling and teachers can prescribe the right medicine; After the counseling, students should do the knowledge topics that the teacher talked about again, make theoretical induction and summary, and truly turn them into their own memories and thoughts; During tutoring, we should dare to put forward our own opinions and ideas, which can not only help teachers understand their own ideas, but also help teachers solve misunderstandings and mistakes in students' learning.
Children's learning is a hot issue for thousands of families in Qian Qian at present, and how to get a tutor is a hot issue in society. The above suggestions and opinions of Sunshine are for parents' reference only, so that parents can see through the inside story of family tutoring of middle school students in society. Sunshine hopes you can find a good tutor for your child! If I have time, I will tell my friends some points for attention and suggestions for one-on-one remedial classes.
