LIFE OF A PRIVATE TUTOR

• 

WHAT DOES A PRIVATE TUTOR DO?

A Private tutor first explains the concept of a topic or subject to the student. Later, he/ she prepares notes, composes and compiles all the important digestible materials related to the subject, types it digitally and finally sends it to his or her students in PDF or Word format. Sometimes the tutor narrates the basic notes online and offline to the students and tries to make it more lucid for them.

TODAY’S STUDENTS

The students’ community is the laziest group of people. They love joining a tutor or a tuition only basically to extract the notes and seldom shows interest to listen the vital basic concepts dealt in the running class. Sometimes joining some heavy weight teachers’ class is understood to be the status symbol. This becomes the matter of delicious discussion among the parents’ community. They share among them, where studies the son or daughter of Mrs X or Mrs Y.

PARENTS’ PLUNDER

Parents are the unique group of people. Once they admit their wards in any tutorial, they feel like bestowed with the salvation from all the responsibilities of their ward and forget the course, tutor and simply the fee to be paid at the end of the month. So, when the negotiated fee is demanded the hopeful teacher witnesses the grimacing faces of the parents as if some havoc loan has been demanded. Parents bargain with their trade and class as if they are green vegetable vendors and selling some products which must be haggled over. In this sluggish talk they forget one very vital thing that by showing such behaviour they destroy the very motivation of the tutor, who is actually taking charge of the pedagogical development of the child. Definitely, a motivation always gives birth to satisfactory results. If teacher will be deprived of his or her genuine demands, how will he develop fertile brain of a student and how will he sow the ‘Seeds of Future education’ in that soil.

Not only this, parents’ humiliating arguments over the matter of fee with a tutor honk in front of his/her ward. Raising a negligible weakness of the teacher, they create a big issue and try to deduct the amount of the fee to a big extent.

 TUTORS’ TRAGEDY

PRIVATE TUTORS are the most helpless and humble community of the world. They love their self-respect more than their bread and butter. They maintain a dignified silence in all the turbulent matter even if they are shockingly annoyed by the parents. Private tutors are very strong in their will power. They mentally, physically, academically and to an extent financially make themselves ready to cope up with the demands of education in the upcoming situation of the existing world. They never give up and compose themselves with the fortification of all types of desired technique and tools to support their beloved students. Throughout the year, without taking leave or holiday, they try to negotiate their terms in best possible way in best possible time. In case they miss the class, they compensate it on some other day of the week. They also feel happy to sacrifice their happiness and give priority to the student’s education.

ROLE OF PRIVATE TUTOR

Maximum Schools run after finishing the syllabus within a very restricted time interval. It becomes very tough for the school teachers to handle all the textual question and queries successfully and satisfactorily in the class. Usually, they dump them on the wobbly solders of students’ army. Being traumatised with this unwanted pressure they start a “google search “and which eventually ends on the threshold of a private tutor.

Private tutors’ role starts here. They deal each and every question thoroughly, meticulously and deeply one after another. The take much toil to collect, organise, compose and supply information to the “soul’s satisfaction” of a student. Doing all these they actually give a big contribution to the today’s society and tomorrow’s world.

LET US BE TOGETHER TO BRING A VITAL CHANGE

Now the question arises that in spite of a round the clock support by these academic warriors, why does the condition of the private tutors so pathetic? Why are they dragged miles away from true recognition and respect? Why are they bound to lead an unrewarded, unprotected life in this happening, blooming world?

Although mushrooming of online teaching portals has given little chances to the few fresh and charming candidates after several rounds of performance appraisals but why do they hesitate to clean the sweaty faces of true academic front runners who still lag behind in touching the light.

In spite of bringing sunshine to all and sundry why are they bound to lead an unprogressive, unattended life?

Let’s put our collective effort to support, boost, encourage and motivate our real society changers, our own private tutors.
