I'm stress working as a tutor

Teacher is a profession,which requires loads and loads of patience.That i know from my personal experience

Have you ever read this quote from Confucius I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. The focal point is "I hear and I forget", if they see the words written they will remember and if they do they can understand.

You are helping the children that need the help. You can look at it that way.

I was a teacher of general education, special education, and taught at our university. There a a variety of techniques you can use to make learning more relative to their needs. You need patience, caring, and concern for your students. They have you to help them learn. It's not their fault they are the way they are. No one ever said that teaching was easy. Best of luck to you!

It sounds more like they are special needs children. Their behavior resembles that of my older son when he was in school. It takes a lot of patience to teach them. Don't be hasty to put them in the lazy student category.

I love learning. To me is all fun! Am sorry to hear about your struggles. Is nice of you to even try so hard. I've found most people are willing to remain ignorant rather than put in the effort being a good student & citizens takes. Thanks for your contribution!

you have already talking about the profession that you are in i.e. you need a lot ofd patience in you and beside you should be a versatile person. I mean to say you always donot act as a tutor to them. Let them sometimes feel that you are their friend, a close friend with whom they can share their feelings. Children sometimes get nasty just because they cannot express their proper feeling to anybody or they are not listened by their parents and they want to drag your attention toward themselves. It may not be true in all cases but somewhat it is true. Also they are highly influenced by the environment at home where they are brought up. I know as a tutor you are taking care of them at your best level but may be it has no match with their habits. Try something new with them. Let them express in front of you what are they doing and why. And truly its really really hard to cope with the slow learners but in other hand if you can make some changes with such kids then you will be admired more than when you teach the fast learners because the fast learners always take the compliments all on themselves and let you not share your role of their success.

It is not easy to be a teacher. It needs the patience. This is why I can't and I don't want to be a teacher because I am not a patient person. Different people have different learning speed. Some really need a longer time.

May be you could change your way of teaching It helps sometimes.

Yes that could be pretty tiring but think that these kids need you more since they are slow learners snd they are the very reason why you had been hired for the job

sounds like they're somewhat problematic children, maybe that's why the mother asked for them to be tutored in the first place... good luck!

Put a little more patience, make them enjoy while learning.
