Perhaps every student, and not only a student, thought about earning some money as a tutor. But it is not always clear to a person without experience where to start, where to look for students and how to draw up a program.

For those who are preparing for the main school exam

I have been studying Russian with schoolchildren for 4 years now. First of all, you need to understand that tutoring is difficult, responsible, and at first the process itself will take a lot of time. More often than not, the kids who are hired for tutoring are not very strong, and sometimes they are not even interested in your subject. And you need to lead the child to a certain result in a short time (sometimes it can be only a few weeks).

1. Start with practice

Before looking for students, try to “work” for a while as a teacher for a younger brother, sister, children of neighbors or friends. In my first year, I helped to prepare for the Unified State Examination for a Russian friend of the eleventh grade free of charge: I gave some advice, explained the theory, checked essays. As a result, the girl received 98 points and entered the philological faculty of Moscow State University, and I was inspired by her success and decided to become a tutor.

2. Ask around

Ask your friends: surely in your environment there are already those who have been tutoring for a long time. Find out what the difficulties were when they first started working, listen to their success stories.

3. Study the literature

Flip through school textbooks, go to a bookstore and see what requirements are imposed on schoolchildren today. If you graduated a couple of years ago, then remember how you yourself prepared for the exams. Read books on child psychology and pedagogy manuals to build better relationships with your students. A book by Marina Chibisova "Psychological Preparation for the Unified State Examination" or by Robert and Jean Bayard "Your Restless Teen (A Practical Guide for Desperate Parents)" will work well.

If you plan to prepare children for final exams, take a look at the FIPI website: there are open task banks, demo versions of exam options, plus the latest news on changes in the OGE and the USE is published. I recommend visiting this site at least once a week.

It is more difficult to immediately start preparing for entrance exams to specific universities - for example, to an internal test at Moscow State University. But if you are a student or a graduate of this university, you yourself passed the entrance exam and understand its specifics, then why not try it.

4. Think of an overall work plan

It is better to develop programs directly for specific children. Until you find them, formulate a general scheme of work, for example, for graduation classes. Think of some tricks that will diversify your lessons. For example, my students memorize exception verbs and roots with alternating vowels in the form of small poems, and younger students learn the rules in the form of a fairy tale.

5. Start looking for students

Begin your search for disciples in early August. By September, there will be at least a few people, and you will have time to develop a program in a month.

The best way to find the first students is by word of mouth. Say that you decided to tutor, for example, to your mother or aunt: they will tell their neighbors, colleagues and girlfriends in the fitness center about it. You can publish an ad in the "Services" section on Avito, write posts on social networks - on your pages or in groups where tutors are looking for students, and students are looking for tutors. Try to succinctly describe what you can do, about educational and scientific achievements. And if you already have some teaching experience, be sure to write about it.

Another option is special sites for finding tutors, but they most often ask for a fee for their services. If you have a good relationship with teachers in your home school, you can throw a bait there too: there are probably students who are looking for a tutor.

Some parents are reluctant to put their child in the hands of a student. But I think that experience in tutoring is not the most important thing. A student who entered a prestigious medical school and passed biology with excellent marks knows the subject at a level at which he can explain it and prepare a future graduate for the exam. So advice to parents: do not be afraid of a young tutor! I think even after talking on the phone you will understand whether this person can become a teacher for your child. If in doubt, try scheduling a free trial lesson.

6. Choose a place to practice

Tutors in major cities have many options. You can conduct lessons at your place or go to students, study in quiet cafes or anti-cafes (there you will pay not for tea or coffee, but for the time spent; the average price per minute is two rubles). You might think about coworking - a kind of office in which you rent space for a certain period. Tutors in small towns most often work from home or visit students. Another way is Skype lessons, but I resort to it in extreme cases, when, for example, a student gets sick and cannot work out live. Still, live communication in learning plays an important role.

7. Rate your services

Explore the offers of other tutors in your city and specifically in your area. Pay attention to the length of service: of course, an experienced tutor will have a higher price per hour than a beginner. In addition, the cost of an hour of a lesson may vary depending on the conditions: the tutor studies at home, goes to the student, conducts a lesson on a neutral territory or remotely. After you analyze everything, set a price. You can not indicate it in the ad, but write to those who respond.

8. Take a Trial Lesson

So you've found your first student. Trial lessons are often free. You can invite parents to it: they will be able to look at you as a teacher and understand whether they can entrust their child to you. If you liked the child, and he liked you, if you realized that you could cope with the task, then it's time to think about the frequency of classes. Usually tutors work with children twice a week, but everything is individual. The duration of the lesson depends on the age of the student, his level of knowledge and the purpose of the lesson.

Discuss the child's gaps and problems with the parents and keep them informed of the child's progress. At the same time, try to establish contact with the student himself. With many of my students who have already graduated from school, I continue to communicate. In my opinion, a tutor should be a kind but fair mentor for a child. He should not be afraid of you, but must understand that he needs everything that you ask him.

Remember that if you really like the subject you are teaching, chances are your student will fall in love with it too. And if you correctly build a program and stick to the work plan, the desired result will not keep you waiting. At the same time, we must not forget that someone catches everything the first time, and someone needs to explain the rule several times. Learn to feel the working pace of the child. I recently rejoiced: a boy who came to me a year and a half ago with a grade between two and three, received a solid five at the OGE. Children's victories are always your victories.

Good winter day everyone!

Autumn is coming to an end, it’s incomprehensible snow outside the window, and your phone suddenly rings and, having picked up the phone and prepared to refuse to take a loan or have a very necessary procedure in a beauty salon, you hear that someone is eager to learn a language, and certainly under your sensitive leadership.

What to do and where to run?

Let's try to figure out what to talk about on the phone and what to do on first lesson in English.

Phone conversation

By phone, I always try to discuss the points that concern me in order to understand whether we can cooperate or not. And the answer will be negative if:
1) not suitable time or place conducting classes;
2) not satisfied price;
3) target student learning does not coincide with my teaching goals (for me, this is when a mother wants us to do homework in English with a child or an adult declares that he will only talk, without tedious rules and memorizing words);
4) on the other end of the wire they say as if I already have something must caller.

If everything suits us, we agree on the place and time of the first lesson. I warn you that the purpose of the first meeting there will be a language level determination, it is free and lasts about 40 minutes. You need to take a notebook and a pen with you.
I also learn how the student himself can determine his level of knowledge in order to imagine what level of material to prepare. As a rule, adults quite adequately assess their capabilities, while with schoolchildren one cannot be sure of anything.

It happens that parents say: “we have been studying with a tutor for two years, but she can no longer study with us, so we turned to you”, I prepare A2 level materials, I come to class - and the child barely reads, and say he can’t do almost anything… The student becomes embarrassed because he doesn’t meet my expectations, my mother sees his discomfort and also starts to worry… It’s a stupid situation, I usually try to cheer me up in every possible way to smooth this moment, otherwise after the first meeting there will be an unpleasant impression.

First meeting

If the first lesson is held by the student, I always leave early and try to dress more formally in order to make a good impression, it determines the opinion of the teacher for a long time. This is when we get to know each other better, you can walk in torn jeans and a T-shirt ...

Impressed, proceed directly to the lesson:

1. We start the meeting with dialogue. I have not yet seen a single student who cannot speak English at all. Before the conversation, I say to speak English as they say, without fear of making mistakes. If he does not understand or does not know something, let him speak in Russian.
   I ask standard questions: How are you? The name of? Where does he/she study/work? What does he like to do in his free time? If I see that I am doing well, I ask about the purpose of the study and wishes for conducting classes in English, if not, in Russian. (Accordingly, if there is a student in front of me, I ask this question to my parents, who always sit next to me at the first lesson).
2. I give further vocabulary and grammar test(about 20 questions), about 5 minutes. (If the student is an adult, I can send him to the post office before the meeting so as not to waste time in class.
   It is better to save the results in a separate folder specially dedicated to students. For what? If during the training the popular phrase “we have been studying for six months now, but I don’t feel that I have progressed in learning the language” pops up, show it every time I hear it. This is especially popular with USE students, recently one of them wrote me a sampler for 86 points (against 72 points six months ago), and still the same song: “I know the language worse than before” ...
3. While I'm reviewing the test, I give a small text for reading comprehension, with post-text speaking tasks, and ideally with listening, where the end of the story is recorded (for example, for adults, I like the text about the hotel with a ghost from lesson 6B New English File Elementary).

After all the manipulations, I say what level the student has (as a rule, the dialogue-test-text in unison repeats one thing, but there are also cases when the student understands what he read and writes the test well, but he can’t say almost anything and understands poorly by ear ), and which tutorial and why we choose. When choosing a textbook, I focus not only on the level of knowledge, but also on the tasks assigned to us.

In the end, I ask you once again to express any wishes for the classes, and for my part I warn that:

• at class cancellation(ill, work, urgent matters) must be reported 24 hours in advance. If more than three times in six months a lesson is canceled right before the lesson, I transfer it to an advance payment and increase the price. If I cancel the lesson (due to illness of myself or the child), we can reschedule it at the request of the student for the weekend or for a window in my schedule;
• at unfinished homework(more than three times in six months) we part. I don't believe in progress without independent work. I can make an exception for adults, who may not do homework for one lesson and we chat with them the whole lesson, and for the second they do double volume;
• raise the price I won’t be studying for a year (unless, of course, the goal changes - I suddenly want to pass the exam), and if I decide to raise it from the next academic year, I will inform you about it three months in advance;
• if the student has something do not like during the lesson, I want to focus on some type of activity or any other doubts arise - all complaints are accepted and considered.

Results

It's great if you have a business card with coordinates. It looks professional, and it becomes clear that you are serious about the matter. I want to do everything for myself, I even came up with a design, but my hands won’t reach it.

Over time, at the first meeting, it becomes clear whether the person is serious. This helps to avoid that feeling when you allocated a place in the schedule, prepared for classes, tried to captivate and entertain ... and after a vacation or vacation, it disappears forever, leaving an unpleasant aftertaste on your soul.

I don’t want to end the article on a sad note, so I’ll say that the percentage of students who go nowhere is small - two students left me in a year. When I remember our first meetings, I understand that now I would not waste time. The first one on the phone said “it’s expensive for you”, but she started to study anyway, the second told me every lesson: “I like everything, I’m ready to study and do everything” and also disappeared after the holidays.
There are much more of those who come by word of mouth, so look at everything philosophically - "when one door closes, another one will certainly open."
Happy New Year everyone and good luck!

P.S. I am writing about the first lesson with those who are going to prepare for the OGE or the USE.

The main problems of teaching children a foreign language

Any teacher offering one-to-one tutoring faces many challenges. In most cases, they concern children, as adult students have a clear and specific motivation. For this reason, the tutor must find answers to the main questions when talking with the child:

1. Why did you lose interest in the subject?
2. Why is it difficult for a student to learn English, German or French?
3. What are the main problems that a particular child with a foreign speech has?

Modern children lack incentive and motivation, so tutors who want to become in-demand teachers need to properly stimulate the student.

In order for individual lessons to bring the desired effect, it is necessary to adhere to two basic rules:

• student goals are the teacher's priority. Without fail, the teacher must find out what problem the student wants to solve at the end of the course. Guided by the goal of a person, it is necessary to develop a teaching methodology and select educational basic and additional material. From the first lesson, the tutor must create motivation and begin to solve the student's existing problems;
• individual and creative approach to each student. Under no circumstances should one method and program be used for all students. Such an approach will not give the required results and will have a negative impact on the teacher's career. The effectiveness of lessons largely depends on the method of conducting, so it is necessary to be creative in developing an individual program, trying to diversify classes as much as possible. Today, the services of a tutor in English, German or French via Skype are very popular. Distance learning allows you to conduct lessons in extremely comfortable conditions for both the teacher and the student.

Own methodology is a point in the teacher's questionnaire, which potential clients often pay attention to when choosing a suitable candidate.

How to develop your own methodology?

Experienced and professional foreign language tutors provide the following recommendations for beginners and motivated teachers:

1. Plan. It is necessary to plan each lesson in advance, taking into account the level of knowledge of the student, the language problems identified in the previous lesson, the goals pursued, age and other points.
2. Material. You should select educational audio and video material that matches the topic of the lesson. Today there are many free resources where you can find the required interesting and exciting material.
3. Vocabulary extensions. New words and phrases being studied should not only be written down, but a dialogue should be held with the student using them. This helps to memorize foreign words almost instantly.
4. Mastering grammar rules. After explaining the basic rules regarding grammar, you should demonstrate them with examples. At the same time, it is recommended to show both the correct use of the rules, and sentences with errors. By correcting them, any student will more easily remember the correct use of the grammar rule.
5. Lesson. The lesson must necessarily include several stages: repetition of the material covered, the study of new rules and words, the application of the acquired knowledge in practice and examples, a casual conversation or dialogue on various topics.

The teacher must constantly develop in a professional direction. It is recommended to attend seminars, courses and read relevant materials and articles related to the learning process and the foreign language itself.

How to become a good math tutor? Tips for beginners

As in any other profession, all teachers are divided into three large classes: professional elite, strong middle peasants and outsiders. The latter, unfortunately, are the majority. How to become a good tutor? How to join the ranks of those very middle peasants, and maybe representatives of the upper "echelon"? Let's try to figure it out.

Love for Math

It all starts with her.

If you want to become a math tutor in Moscow, you must love your subject. And not just a must - you must! Otherwise, it is impossible to seriously engage in mathematics. You will simply hate these formulas, theorems and proofs.

Perhaps the reader immediately had a question: “Is it different?

How can you tutor without love for your subject?” Unfortunately, you can. And many are doing it. Because the market of educational services in Moscow is an extremely profitable niche in which you can, as they say, cut down the dough. And this always attracts people who want easy money. In addition, this market is not regulated by special laws (unlike, for example, realtors and lawyers). Therefore, outright scammers are also not uncommon here.

Therefore, those who want to become a tutor should ask themselves the question right now: “Am I ready to do mathematics all my life and teach it to others?” That's right: you have to work all your life.

Because teaching is not just a profession. This is a calling, and about the same percentage of adults are capable of becoming a good tutor as good doctors. Or become good engineers.

Thus, if the prospect of spending the evening reading textbooks makes you sad, if you are sick of complex formulas and definitions, immediately abandon the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bbecoming a tutor!

Urgently change the direction of movement - it is obvious that your knowledge and abilities will find application, but in a different industry.

Readiness for continuous development

Perhaps no less important point.

Remember, there is no such thing as "knowing all the math." After all, mathematics is the most abstract, most fundamental science. And to cover all its sections and knowledge, the average person will not have enough life. Even if you are only engaged in cramming textbooks and solving problems.

By the way, the phrase about the average person is given for a reason.

Perhaps now someone will be offended by my words, but I will tell the truth: 95% of people have just average abilities in the exact sciences.

Or even below average. Personally, I consider myself to be in the middle category. Despite 6 years of experience in Moscow. Despite the Mekhmat of Moscow State University behind him. My math skills are only average anyway.

In general, any math tutor should constantly work on himself. And not just for students. You need to read books, solve problems and develop new teaching methods.

That's right: you should have your own teaching methods. Otherwise, you will never become a good tutor, do not rise above outsiders (believe me, there are plenty of them in Moscow even without you).

You will forever remain mediocre. But more on that in the next paragraph.

Own methods

This is not about education at all. Because today the quality of higher education is such that it is better not to enter many universities at all.

And even more so, we will not talk about the “efficiency improvement courses” that the Internet is full of today.

The most important knowledge is not what you get in university classrooms, but what you yourself have obtained from books and practical experiments. If you like, you can call it a scientific work. Or developing your own skills. The meaning of this does not change. As a result, you should develop your own teaching methodology, completely different from what they talk about in books.

For example, I fundamentally do not teach classes in classical school textbooks.

Because anyone in Moscow knows what a deplorable state modern education is in. And school textbooks played an important role in this matter.

To see how disgusting language these textbooks are written, just open any of them. Any author. And for any class. In 9 cases out of 10 you will come across a pseudo-scientific text that not only children, but also adults cannot understand!

That is why a good tutor is obliged to develop their own study materials for their students and, of course, sets of tasks for homework.

This is the only way to overcome the low quality of school education.

Of course, I am not saying that absolutely all textbooks do not stand up to criticism. Quite good and worthy copies can be found on the shelves of bookstores in Moscow. For example, I really like the presentation of material in Shabunin's books ("Algebra and the beginning of mathematical analysis" for grades 10-11).

His textbooks are designed for the profile level.

I take pleasure in taking tasks for lessons from Sergeev's books (in particular, "Mathematics for an Applicant"), although they have never been labeled "Recommended by the Ministry of Education." And this is quite logical, because the Ministry of Education is not interested in the high quality of school textbooks (as well as in the high quality of education in general).

There are other examples as well.

But their total list is so narrow, and training on them is conducted so rarely, that these wonderful books are simply lost in the stream of low-grade literature.

The result matters the most

When you are preparing a student for the exam, what will be the main goal of your work? Teach a person to solve problems from part B? Or maybe even part C?

Or train him to solve typical equations, to which most problems from the exam are reduced? No no and one more time no! Your main goal and biggest headache is to make sure that a person gets the right score on the exam in mathematics. To then enter a good university in Moscow. All!

Many novice teachers do not understand this. They stuff students with useless knowledge that will never come in handy on a real exam. They tell their parents stories about what a wonderful child they have, how well he understands everything, and so on.

But the problem is that these stories have nothing to do with why you were hired. They hired you to solve a specific problem for a specific client.

That's why the first time I talk to my parents, I find out why they need a math tutor.

What goal do they pursue: to pass the Unified State Exam, to prepare for admission to a prestigious university, or simply to pull up a student according to the school curriculum, so that instead of triples, he begins to receive fours and fives. Without this information, there is no point in any, even the most intense activities.

Don't be afraid of difficulties

Working with people is one of the hardest jobs. Because you constantly have to use your brains, especially if you really want to become a good tutor and compete with the best teachers in Moscow.

This is much more difficult than standing at the lathe and processing parts. Although at first glance it may seem that the opposite is true.

Once again, if you want to become a good tutor, then prepare for difficulties.

Get ready for the fact that customers will annoy you. That parents will cancel meetings at the most unexpected moment. And that in case of failure, it is you who will be the last one. And no one is immune from failure.

You can reduce this chaos a bit with some planning. When you first start tutoring, you will only have 2-3 students who are very easy to work with. You know exactly with whom and on what day you are exercising.

And there is more than enough time to prepare for the lesson.

But when you have 20-25 students (a very realistic figure by the end of the school year), then everything turns upside down.

You are simply physically unable to remember the numerous addresses and topics where you left off. Waking up in the morning, you don’t even remember who and what time you will have to come during the day.

And that's okay. Because it means you've become a good math tutor.

The problem of information overload is easily solved with a regular schedule. Make a table with the days of the week. And every day write down with whom, where and at what time you are engaged. You can keep this table on paper, you can - on a computer in Word or Excel. Do as you please. But the table must be required.

The problem with curricula is solved in the same way. For each of his wards, a mathematics tutor in Moscow must draw up his own plan, place it in a separate file, and mark the topics covered as they study.

This is very convenient: when you feel that one lesson is not enough to analyze complex material, you can simply indicate this in the curriculum. Thus, you will always know at what step each of your wards stopped. This greatly simplifies the preparation for the next lesson.

Of course, with each customer it is necessary to agree in advance on the time and place of classes.

How an English tutor became the principal of his own school

And only in exceptional cases to allow their transfer. Otherwise, no table will help you - students will “jump” along the grid of lessons as they please. This is especially true for Moscow with its frantic pace of life.

If parents stubbornly do not want to fix a specific day and specific time for their child, it is better to immediately refuse such a client. And refuse without any regret.

Because money is good, but your nerves are more expensive.

In addition, you will constantly have force majeure situations. For example, at the beginning of a career, tutors always go to classes with students (and not vice versa). Of course, if you live in a small town, this is not a problem. Got in the car and arrived.

But in big cities it is better to refuse trips by car.

Get there by bus or subway. Otherwise, you will get bogged down in traffic jams and disrupt the preparation time. Yes, what a car - buses also get into traffic jams (if it's not Moscow, where there are dedicated lanes for route transport).

And even in the subway there are failures, but this event is already from the category of extraordinary.

In general, good luck to you in the teaching world. Work with adequate clients and travel only by public transport. And always remember: you can't make all the money. But it is possible to live very, very worthily in our profession.

Provided that you try to become a good tutor. Let me end on this optimistic note 🙂

New team
At the beginning of the academic year, a novice teacher faces two main tasks: getting to know the staff of the technical school and joining this team, as well as a deep study of the discipline that he will have to teach for the first time.

Both of these tasks are solved at a time when a novice teacher does not have his own individuality either as a full member of the team or as a teacher. It is rather difficult to give detailed recommendations on how to behave in a team, since a lot here depends on the microclimate in which the team is located and the personal characteristics of the person. In all cases, the process of joining the team should occur naturally. It should neither be forced nor slowed down.

At the same time, I would like to emphasize that there are elements in behavior that will always give a positive effect. First of all, it is hard work. Every minute of official, and often off-duty time, should be directed to the study of the material and the assimilation of teaching methods. Such diligence in itself will cause respect. The second element is the correct tone chosen for communication with members of the teaching staff.

A novice teacher must clearly understand that in order to acquire pedagogical skills, he needs more than one year of hard work. When communicating with teachers at the initial stage, you need the absence of fussiness, a high degree of tact and balance in your behavior.

The imposition of one's friendship, the systematic handling of various, often petty, questions, even a slight cheekiness in behavior - all this cannot but cause a negative attitude among individual teachers, and, consequently, among the team as a whole. At the same time, the lack of communication, isolation in behavior, the desire to resolve issues without taking into account the opinions of other teachers also cause a certain negative attitude.

Apparently, it would be right to focus on active independent work with a small amount of advice from older comrades, contact is necessary with experienced teachers. Their advice and recommendations must be carefully listened to and taken into account in their work. All of the above is not some kind of dogma: it is necessary to navigate, taking into account the specific circumstances that are developing.

Preparing for classes
. The second main task, as already noted, is the deep mastering of the educational material. Textbooks, teaching aids, class notes, other methodological materials related to academic disciplines that will be needed 2
to teach, must be fully and thoroughly worked out.

Tutor. Preparing for the lesson

You need to know what technical teaching aids can be used in the classroom, what is the situation with the computerization of education, etc. Unfortunately, there is often not enough time for a complete and in-depth study of very voluminous material. Therefore, at the first stage, it can be recommended to take one of the textbooks or one of the teaching aids as a basis, to get an idea of ​​the academic discipline as a whole. This will make it possible to assess the volume of the material, its features, connection with other disciplines, to highlight the most important and difficult to understand sections.

Preparatory work before the start of classes must be done. This will make it possible to rationally distribute their efforts in the future. A great help in the work will be the study of the program and the thematic plan, which reveal the essence of this academic discipline (requirements for knowledge and skills; the relationship of individual topics and classes; the time allotted for mastering the material; literature that is recommended).

The study of these basic materials will give a complete and deep understanding of the tasks that will have to be solved in the current academic year. Having mastered the content of the discipline as a whole, you can prepare for individual classes. At the same time, it is useful to conditionally put oneself in the place of students, taking into account the specific level of their knowledge and skills, and from these positions assess the importance and difficulty of the material being studied and its components.

This approach is very important from the point of view of developing primary methodological skills and abilities. It is during this period that methodological ideas are born, views are formed on how to present the material, a deep understanding of one's role in the process of conducting the lesson arises. Each lesson should be thought out in detail, the tasks that will be offered to students are performed personally with all the details.

If one or another task can be solved in different ways, then each option must be well understood, its positive and negative sides should be assessed. Only in this case, the teacher will be guaranteed against surprises in the classroom. So, each methodological development should be prepared with a high degree of conscientiousness.

Life convincingly confirms that in the process of conducting a lesson, students may have such questions that the teacher does not even suspect. That is why it will not be superfluous at first to ask experienced teachers about the features that arise in the process of learning new material, typical mistakes that students make, about the appropriate distribution of time, etc.

Already at the stage of preparation for classes, a novice teacher should get acquainted with the basics of psychological knowledge and realize the essence of 3
main psychological concepts. First of all, you need to understand what moral education and mental development are. It should always be remembered that in addition to direct teaching, the teacher's task is to develop appropriate psychological qualities in students, such as diligence, conscientiousness, the desire to comprehend new things, curiosity and a number of other qualities.

When preparing the necessary methodological materials, the teacher should not forget what specific qualities students will develop in the course of their classes. It is well known that the teacher largely affects the psyche of students by personal example. Therefore, it is necessary to critically evaluate your personal mental qualities and take measures to develop positive qualities and eradicate negative ones.

The second side of preparing for classes is getting to know the students. A novice teacher should conditionally put himself in the place of the students, which will reduce the number of methodological errors.

After all, visits to classes with leading educators are desperately needed. By attending the classes of experienced teachers, a novice teacher voluntarily or involuntarily absorbs his methodological experience. Beginning teachers, when attending classes of their colleagues, need to pay attention to such issues as: the content of the educational material, the distribution of study time to individual questions, the means of controlling the knowledge of students and checking the task set for self-study, the order of work of students near the blackboard, the methodology for summing up the lesson, etc. .P.

What does a young teacher need?
1. Make sure in advance whether everything is ready for the lesson, whether the furniture is well arranged, whether the board is clean, whether TCO, visual aids are prepared. Call. Enter the office last. Make sure that all trainers greet you in an organized way. Try to show the students the beauty and attractiveness of the organized beginning of the lesson, strive to ensure that it takes less and less time each time.

2. Don't waste time looking for a page of your subject in a magazine, it can be prepared at recess. . 3. Start the lesson vigorously. Don't ask the question: Who didn't do their homework? - this teaches students to think that not doing homework is inevitable.

Lead the lesson in such a way that 4
every student was constantly busy with work, remember: pauses, slowness, idleness are the scourge of discipline. 4. Engage students with interesting content of the material, creating problem situations, mental stress.

Control the pace of the lesson, help the weak to believe in themselves. Keep an eye on the whole group. Especially watch out for those who have unstable attention, who are distracted. Prevent attempts to disrupt work order. 5. Make requests, questions a little more often to those students who can do extraneous things in the lesson.

6. When motivating knowledge assessments, give your words a businesslike, interested character. Tell the student what they need to work on to earn a higher grade.

7. End the lesson with a general assessment of the group and individual students. Let them experience satisfaction from the results of their labor.

Try to notice the positive in the work of undisciplined guys, but do not do it too often and for little effort. 8. Stop the lesson with a bell. Remind the duty officer. 9. Refrain from overreacting. 10. If students are indisciplined, try to do without the help of others. Remember: establishing discipline with the help of someone else's authority does not benefit you, but rather harms you. It is better to seek support from the group. 5

Tutoring: where to start

Tutoring: a promising business from scratch

One of the areas of work for yourself, which does not require significant costs, is tutoring - the provision of private educational services at home.

Where to begin?

The services of a good tutor are highly valued, and with the introduction of the unified state exam, additional training has become even more popular and in demand.

Therefore, tutoring can be a worthy alternative to working in an educational institution, or just a good addition to your salary.

How to become a tutor?

This business option is perfect for school teachers and university professors specializing in a particular field.

How can a tutor conduct the first English lesson?

Since the main and sometimes the only investment in the future business will be your personal professional knowledge and experience in teaching.

So where to start?

• First of all, in order for your initiative to be legal and free from problems with the tax office, you must register as an individual entrepreneur.

• The next step will be to purchase the necessary teaching aids and decide on the venue for future classes with students:

1. The first option is to work with students at the teacher's home - in this case, the teacher must prepare a comfortable room equipped with everything necessary for the educational process.
2. Conducting classes on the territory of the student - in this case, the question arises of the cost of the tutor on the road.
3. Tutoring in rented premises.

   This option is best if you plan to work with groups of students or even open a real center for the provision of private educational services.

4. Distance learning via the Internet is gaining more and more popularity - the advantage of this work option is the ability to conduct classes with students from different parts of the country.

• And last but not least, you need to take care of attracting future customers.

Looking for clients, or where do students come from?

Tutoring

The target audience of the tutor is, as a rule, schoolchildren.

Those who have not fully mastered the program material, or vice versa, whose knowledge needs go beyond the curriculum.

But the largest part of the clientele is made up of applicants who need training in specialized subjects for admission to a university.

There are many ways to notify interested parties about your services.

The first students can be found by placing ads in educational institutions, entrances of your neighborhood, and the media.

In the future, your reputation as a professional teacher will do the trick.

Another effective option is the selection of students through tutoring agencies.

How much does a tutor earn?

The answer depends on many factors.

The main indicators that determine the teacher's rate are qualifications and the subject itself.

Qualifications, work experience and experience of the tutor determine the cost of an hour of classes:

• Recent university graduates and senior students, as usual, offer a cost in the range of 300-600 rubles. per hour of training.
• Prices for teachers with experience from 5 to 7 years range up to 1000 rubles.
• The price category from 1000 and above is represented by university teachers and highly experienced school teachers.

Tutoring - a good income and self-employment

Region of residence- prices for individual training services vary significantly depending on the place of residence.

So, in a small town, the cost of an academic hour of training usually does not exceed 500 rubles, in the capital - from 1000 rubles.

Venue- if it is necessary for the teacher to visit the client at home, the cost of the lesson increases by an average of 100-150 rubles.

Subject of study- the most "expensive" in the tutoring environment are the disciplines of English and mathematics - the cost of classes in them in Moscow is an average of 2000-2500 thousand per hour.

Also, the rate of tutoring services is affected by terms of preparation and complexity of the material.

Thus, the idea of ​​tutoring can bring a very good income, the main thing is to be an excellent specialist in the chosen field and regularly improve your professional skills.

Mentoring services may be provided by individuals under certain conditions. Lawyers advise issuing IP. Forms of earnings in mentoring: remote and internal. Clients look for specialized sites and place ads.

Mentoring earns a lot: teachers are part-time workers; Thus, private teachers receive a basic income; Experienced retired subject teachers; even students are not inclined to act as a "home teacher".

In this article, we explain how to formalize legal activities, how to earn money for mentoring, how important it is and where to find clients.

Market value and performance

The HSE Institute of Education provides data (source Rossiyskaya Gazeta) that 24% of all Russian schoolchildren use mentoring services.

In Moscow, the average hourly study time (45 minutes) with a teacher costs 800-1000 rubles. V St. Petersburg - an average of 700 rubles.

Interesting numbers: The market of illegal mentoring services in Russia is estimated at 30 billion rubles, according to the HSE, and preparing children for a unified state examination in Russia every year, parents spend more than 14 billion rubles.

Who often mentor for more knowledge,

Picture 1.

Figure 1. Why parents train teachers for children

Thus, 36.6% of students prepare for the exam and GIO, to deepen their knowledge - 32%, fill the gap and improve efficiency - 32%, dissatisfied with the quality of education at school - 17%.

The Superjob Research Center conducted a survey on which subjects have the highest demand for tutoring and came up with the following results (see below).

Table 1)

* Parents of older students participated in the survey, the total cost is not equal to 100%, since sometimes one student is hired as mentors in several subjects

Legal basis for mentoring

If mentoring is of an unnatural nature, for example, in order to attract a neighboring fifth grader to mathematics and receive a token gratitude for him, there is no question of registering the activity.

But if we consider this training as a company that generates a steady income in the event of a flow, and even more so if you think it will attract employees, then it is also necessary to take care of reason and law without breaking the law.

The first and most important reason for concern is that coaches who want to formalize their activities in accordance with the letter of the law - do you want to be an individual business or can you operate as an individual?

If a person is engaged in private tutoring, the law must independently report data in the form of taxes, pay income tax (13%).

However, Article 217 par.

70 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (Tax Code of the Russian Federation), teachers who personally provide services are exempt from tax (from paying personal income tax).

This provision introduced Art. 13 of the Federal Law of November 30, 2016 no. 401-FZ "amendments to the first and second parts of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and some legislative acts of the Russian Federation."

But there are a number of conditions for non-payment of tax:

• the exchange rate comes into force on January 1, 2017 and applies to income received in the tax periods 2017-2018;
• the person is not an independent entrepreneur;
• the individual does not attract employees;
• the provision of services is oriented to personal, internal and other similar needs;
• an individual must notify the tax authority of his activities in accordance with paragraph 1 of Art.

  7.3 Art. 83 of the Tax Code, that is, register in the tax and indicate the scope of activity.

This measure is temporary and is intended to legalize self-employed citizens. By the end of 2017, the Ministry of Finance intends to prepare a draft law on the tax regime for self-employed citizens.

It is very difficult to draw a line between a self-employed person who offers tutoring and citizens who are engaged in illegal business, lawyers say.

Therefore, according to lawyers, the second, and most correct option is the creation of individual entrepreneurship.

Optimal fiscal systems are patent system (SPE) or simplified (USN) with a tax rate of 6% of income. Registration as an individual trader allows you to attract employees.

Read in detail: what's in store for IP at PCN in 2017. Briefly about the changes

Another question, should engaging teachers be licensed for private mentoring services?

According to Art.

91 of the Law on Education, entrepreneurs who are directly involved in educational activities, licensing and accreditation are not required.

Such a business is attractive because the vehicle to start is their own knowledge.

Financial investment is also irrelevant if you work alone. Money will be needed to buy the necessary teaching aids, and in all cases this is not necessary.

Formats of earnings in mentoring

Figure 2. Online tutored classes

Consider getting mentorship opportunities, all of which fall into two groups:

1. Remote (online mentoring)

   This includes learning formats such as online seminars, consultations, lectures via the Internet.

   Via Skype, Viber, broadcast on social networks (Facebook, Vkontakte), YouTube or with a special platform for online seminars (webinar.ru, My own conference, Etutorium). In this case, you will need special equipment: microphone, headset, webcam.

   This is interesting. Marina Orlova, a teacher of Russian language, literature and English philology, who was born in Arzamas, has found an unusual approach to learning via the Internet.

   He created the HotForWords.com website and YouTube channel. The training is based on the motto "Intelligence is sexual" (intelligence is sexual).

2. Regular training with students

   You can practice at the client's premises, which means you can go to your own home. In this case, it is recommended to add the amount for transportation costs to the payment for the class: taxi, private car or public transport. At home when the students come at the moment.

   There is another option: for example, on the basis of a contract held by an internal mentor in a training center or a foreign language school. You can also open your own school on your own.

   To do this, read our article: "Languages ​​in life: opening a foreign language school"

How to start

Figure 3

School programs and guides

1. Learn about the topic and target audience, the format of the place and class. For example, 11-graders are preparing for an exam, as well as students who want to consolidate their knowledge of the subject.

   But elementary school students. Firstly, it is better not to immediately spray into all age groups. In the end, what is your client depends on the style, learning style, working hours.

2. On USE preparation portals or other subject portals (depending on the target audience) to complete basic tests - check your level of knowledge.
3. The first lessons are best done with friends, relatives or friends in order to improve your skills, understand all the subtleties, even for free.
4. Study the offers of other teachers in your area, analyze the pricing policy.

   The price of their services is determined by the average market. Get the necessary study aids (syllabuses, task collections and tests).

5. Go to customer search.

Where to find clients

The teacher of the target group depends on his specialization. For example, if you major in physics and mathematics or other subjects in the high school curriculum, clients will:

• classmates who need to gain knowledge about this subject during the school year;
• Candidates who are preparing to enter the university;
• graduates who need to pass the USE, and so on.

For example, the service "Your tutor" is your-repetitor.org.

The website acts as an intermediary between educators offering their services and clients. There are more than 233 thousand on its base.

Questions and answers on this topic

One question not yet asked for the material, you have this option first

Related reference materials

Recently, on one forum, I came across a discussion of teachers about the problems of teaching English: "... We are deceiving both parents and students. In reality, in the current conditions, it is hardly possible to teach a foreign language. This largely explains the decline in interest in learning a language among most students in high school ... Indeed, it is difficult to love a subject that is impossible to learn. And all our conversations about some kind of communicative methods, etc. remain just conversations ... "

Criticism continued to develop in this direction. At the end, the teachers exchanged opinions about the textbooks "Happy English", Starkov, etc. Most teachers complained about the impracticality of these manuals. Yes, however, this is not the most optimal solution, so you can understand these teachers. But the main thing is that when you discover the shortcomings of a particular technique, do not stop there, but look for alternatives and treat your work with love and creativity.

From my own experience I know that the problem is not only in textbooks, but also in teaching methods. You can start by asking questions.

• Why is interest in learning a language falling among most students?
• Why are they so difficult to train?
• Why, unlike other subjects, do students have more and more difficulties with English (especially with pronunciation, speaking and remembering words)?

This is not a complete list of problems. You can probably guess what is the reason? Students lack motivation and stimulus! As an experienced tutor, I know what these two things mean for students and pupils. Incentive and motivation are very powerful tools in effective foreign language teaching, not only for children, but also for adults. Alas, we often forget about this important fact and begin to criticize all sorts of manuals or the abilities of students.

But how to find a way out of this situation?

Many will immediately answer that it is necessary to undergo an internship abroad. Yes, this is the perfect solution. But what if the financial situation does not allow? Then you need to choose the best path. Let's define the stages of this path.

1. Know the student's goal. It is imperative to find out for what purpose he wants to learn the language. If the student has not yet decided on the answer to this question, you need to help him clarify his goal. It is from this first step that learning outcomes strongly depend. So, proceeding precisely from a certain intention and desire, to which the student aspires, it is necessary to effectively plan the training program and, accordingly, create powerful motivation. This is especially needed by weak and incompetent novice students.
2. For each - an individual creative approach, i.e. the right choice of methods and manuals. Some tutors, especially novice teachers or students who give lessons, work on the principle of "one manual and one method." As a result, classes are routine and boring, and therefore ineffective. And how to solve this difficult task with a wide range of different textbooks today? Based on my experience, I will try to help you with useful tips in choosing not only manuals, but also modern methods and various resources on the Internet.

What aid to use?

I highly recommend English Vocabulary In Use (pre-intermediate, intermediate) from Cambridge University Press. This book can be used by both students for self-study and teachers for teaching schoolchildren and students. A comprehensive book with clear illustrations makes the lessons practical and interesting. One of the advantages of this textbook is that new words are memorized in a natural and simple way, and, most importantly, the use of words and phrases is explained in everyday contexts, and not just in sentences, as is done in other manuals, especially in domestic ones. Such a technique (I call it brain storm - brainstorming) allows you to quickly catch new words right in the lesson, which I am convinced of every time.

And Headway, English Grammar in Use (R. Murphy) and many other books have already become classic textbooks. And no wonder. Their effectiveness is known to almost everyone, probably you too. But, limited only to these textbooks, it is hardly possible to effectively learn colloquial speech. If you are interested in detailed information about various foreign textbooks, I advise you to read this informative one.

And to test my knowledge, I advise my students to read Nelson's book English Language Tests. With this book it is very convenient to determine the initial level and the direction of further advancement of students. These tests are effective especially during the repetition of everything passed. I always use it. And by the way, according to my method, knowledge is checked after every fifth lesson. This is much more effective than the repetition at the end of the course.

How can a beginner tutor create his own methodology?

So, we have already chosen the textbook, and now let's find out how you can create a unique technique using simple textbooks and different programs creatively. For example, how do I do it.

1. I plan an interesting lesson in advance.
2. I successfully combine the topic that I chose for the lesson (for example, from Headway) with audio materials on the same topic, for example, from the site.
3. New words are not in a hurry to write down immediately on paper. First, I conduct a dialogue using these words. Thus, new words are remembered instantly and firmly in the student's memory. And then he himself, without looking into the dictionary, writes down the words in his notebook. I strongly recommend that you do the same, and see for yourself the effectiveness of the technique.
4. Then, to fully consolidate the learned words, I check the student using the Lingvo Tutor program in ABBYY Lingvo 11. Using this program, I compile a dictionary of new words in advance.
5. After explaining the grammar, I write sentences in which I use fresh grammar, both in the correct form and with errors. And the student corrects the mistakes and as a result clearly remembers the correct use of the rules.

How to successfully deal with a disobedient or incapable student (student)?

1. I try to be creative with everyone and apply a variety of fun and interesting ideas. Among them are both my own and those that I take from different sites. Here is one of them.
   For tutors who are not yet familiar with this site, I highly recommend visiting it. There you will find a lot of useful and interesting things. I think that it will not hurt you to learn about the interesting experience of teachers and tutors from different countries.
2. I use different programs for teaching foreign languages. I don't have a single lesson without a computer and, accordingly, without these programs. And I use programs both online and offline. There is one of my favorite American language training programs (I will talk about it in the next article), thanks to which I have significantly improved the quality of my studies, and, accordingly, my financial situation. Since after applying this special course, the students began to highly appreciate my work, for which I am very grateful to them.

Hello! And from what textbook you can start working with 7 classics. From scratch.

The article is somewhat interesting. Personally, I think that if there is no teaching experience, then it is better to take courses in teaching methods. I can advise the courses of foreign languages ​​Linguist-I, there is such a course. HE will teach you how to work with students in a quality manner, how to correctly build a work plan, taking into account the needs of students and abilities, and will help to avoid many mistakes. There is also the issue of employment. And over time, their own teaching methods will be formed, taking into account the experience gained.

How many fashionable words and all sorts of tricks! But the essence is zero! Who is the article for? For teachers?, Personally, I was not at all interested in how she was ... Her mother is reading a child who wants to hire a tutor - so what? What information did she need from this article? None, she is not an expert, she has nothing to dig into the methodology
The conclusion is unequivocal - to light up as a tutor, they say write to me, write me out !!!

In fact, the concept of "stimulus" is included in the more general concept of "motivation", and in addition, there is a very big difference in teaching a foreign language at school (university) and classes with a tutor who has the freedom to choose teaching aids and who can "move with the student at any pace. People won’t go to a tutor who is not interested in learning, so the opposition of school education with its Happy English and its original methodology is hardly appropriate. In general, the rest of the article is very useful, thanks for the links, I think they will be useful to me when I resume tutoring.

Comment on the article "How can an English tutor compose his own methodology?"

English language where to start.. Learning foreign languages. Education of children. In general, I want to start studying at home, I remember English myself, I also have a grandmother, an English teacher by education (she hasn’t practiced for a long time, but I think she can do it for a start).

My child taught without a tutor. Passed the exam in English. without any preparation for 89 points. But we really have a grandmother (my mother) - she studied with him, plus - for the summer they were sent to Oxford from the age of 11, to English school. for foreign children, every year.

I would not change anything yet (unless we are talking about preparing for some kind of exam), for two reasons. 1) the child is still small, if he walks with pleasure - this is important. Deprive of pleasure - you risk losing efficiency. 2) if he writes tests well in courses, then he learns well what is in the program in the courses, and this may not coincide with the school curriculum.

Initially, the child had additional English in the format of a mini-group twice a week according to the Cambridge textbook plus grammar, and all this with homework, and once a week the native speaker was satisfied with the result. A couple of times they tried to replace a mini-group with a group, I saw a lack of dynamics, sometimes they worked individually, the result is better, but a mini-group of 2-3 people, when the level is the same, seemed to me the most convenient and productive option.
And I agree with other commentators, the teacher is very important, our teacher will make you work in any case, he is a very responsible person and a professional who studies all the time herself.

The student is a tutor. ... I find it difficult to choose a section. Teenagers. Education and relationships with teenage children Schoolboy - tutor. The question of employment of teenagers in the summer was recently raised here. And so I had an idea: what if my daughter...

I think they would. It's just that the sample is somewhat unrepresentative: there are too many winners / prize-winners of olympiads and / or those who pass the exam with 90+, who definitely do not work with school tutors. But your daughter will not promise preparation for the Vseros or for admission to the top 10 school. Here, as far as I can see, good teachers live, perhaps not even suspecting that many teachers in ordinary, unremarkable regional schools have rather low qualifications. So the experience of a teacher does not always speak about his quality, so I think that the daughter will not initially lose to any teacher. In general, if you do not take on difficult cases, both on the one hand (too ambitious goals and objectives) and on the other (diagnoses or complete unwillingness to study), then your daughter will be able to help bring up schoolchildren, especially for a low price. I think it's easier to start with the children of some acquaintances / acquaintances of acquaintances. She will like it herself and it will turn out, things will go further. IMHO

a diploma is needed as an English teacher with the right to teach at the beginning. school. In our country, a lady was fired after 15 years of teaching English at the beginning, the parents of her students wrote letters, called the department. But by education she is a geography teacher, and no courses will help here. And in Moscow for a long time already there is no shortage of personnel. language, which was before, especially since they have become a very good salary. If only by acquaintance they will take you. Moreover, if you studied in a peda, you should understand that "I was trained with my children" is not identical to "I can teach at school and I have the right to do so."

I am now studying at the 2nd higher teacher in English - already the 2nd year, in foreign language named after Torez, you need to take only 2 exams upon admission: written and oral in the language, according to the test results, you are enrolled in the program 3.5 or 5 years of study. A semester costs from 54,000 rubles, further ones rise to 64,000. Not all disciplines can be credited for previous diplomas, we retake history, philosophy, mathematics, and law. So keep in mind that in the session, in addition to the main subjects, you will also take uncredited ones.
There are a lot of homework assignments, it is better not to miss lectures and seminars. You will be tired if you also work during the day - trouble, we do homework at night, everyone’s families are in shock, because it’s not up to family and home routine. Be ready!

Hello! She received not a second higher education, but another qualification - an English teacher (the first qualification - a primary school teacher) at MIOO. All psychological and pedagogical subjects were recalculated, I only studied English - 4 times a week, a lot of homework. They taught well, gave a lot, asked a lot. There is an opportunity to study at the budget department, provided that you work at a school and passed the competition. Paid department cost about 60.000r. About 5 people from the course could not keep up with the pace and went to Moscow State Pedagogical University, it is easier to study there, but 3 years, in MIOO - 2 years.

How realistic is it to become an English tutor... In principle, there is a desire and knowledge of the language at the level of a special school. (although it was a long time ago and he began to be partly forgotten) Share your experience ... Maybe it’s worth getting a second higher pedagogical degree or there are special ones ...

Discussion

My aunt also started tutoring at the special school level. And with the lack of practice for about 20 years of commercials ... I started with preschoolers and younger schoolchildren. Naturally, at first inexpensively, because she is not a teacher. Now he has been a tutor for 10 years. Rates, of course, increases. But she also went to school to work as an English teacher (without appropriate education). In short - I mean that everything is possible if you really need it :)

Still depends on who you want to rehearse with. If with younger students, then it is possible without a second higher education. And if preparation for a university is unrealistic, IMHO. Although for classes with a child, I would prefer a school teacher, and not just a person who knows the language. Yes, and the "level of special school" - it will not be enough ...
