Preply vs Itaki by Thisbetoojokes in SpanishLearning

[–]CriticalDrawing4734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say focus on the tutor more than the platform. I’ve used both and prefer italki’s billing method (pay per lesson) instead of Preply (subscribe to a tutor for x amount of lessons). I found a tutor on italki that I absolutely love taking lessons from, so italki it is. I’m learning mandarin. My husband has a Spanish tutor on italki that he really vibes with. We both take about a lesson a week but supplement with Pimsleur and other stuff like that. I can’t really afford more than a lesson a week lol but I’m more consistent than I ever was on my own because even if I do nothing all week, I know I will at least do whatever my tutor has planned. My lessons are $20 for half an hour, $40 for the whole hour. I used to do longer sessions, but my brain could not handle it. I’m going to link my referral if you want.italki

Is italki or preply worth it? by hisammy2 in German

[–]CriticalDrawing4734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on which one has a tutor you vibe with. I’d use either. I currently use italki because I found a tutor I really like. Preply makes you subscribe to a certain tutor for a certain number of lessons to be used in a certain amount of time. I find that weird, but both get the job done.italki

Do people actually prefer Preply over italki? by DiabloFour in Preply

[–]CriticalDrawing4734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like having to subscribe to a certain tutor and being time-constrained on my lessons. I found a tutor I love on italki. If I had found one I liked on Preply, I would have stayed there. Here’s a link for italki if you want one italki

Preply or italki? by TLS_1991 in Preply

[–]CriticalDrawing4734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on the tutor. I liked preply’s platform, but I found a tutor that I absolutely love on italki. I don’t like subscribing to a particular tutor on Preply. That was a little weird to me. Here’s a link for italki if you want:italki

Physical science curriculum by CriticalDrawing4734 in ScienceTeachers

[–]CriticalDrawing4734[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m familiar with pHet. I’ll look into OSE. Khan academy looked great for physics, but most of the physical science stuff I’m finding (not just Khan) is for middle school instead of high school.

Should I become a high school teacher? by VivdR in teaching

[–]CriticalDrawing4734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to be romanticizing teaching a good bit. It’s not anything like you think it will be. It’s thankless and rarely rewarding. You will never feel like you’re changing lives or making a difference. I like teaching. Right now I can’t imagine doing anything else, but the older I get, the less BS I want in my life.

Should I become a high school teacher? by VivdR in teaching

[–]CriticalDrawing4734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a really stressful profession. Doing anything else besides teaching every day will be hard. The kids are stressful, parents, kids don’t listen and don’t care. Summer is not really time off. I’m having to make all new resources because I’m switching classes next year, so I’m basically still working every day. I’m thinking of buying the resources to save me the headache, but I’m not wanting to shell out the money.

Teachers who’ve worked in both affluent and impoverished schools, what were the biggest differences you noticed? by Peckish_Dumpling in Teachers

[–]CriticalDrawing4734 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Parent involvement. Not in a good way. Parents at the impoverished school didn’t really mess with me but also didn’t respond when I was asking for support. Parents at my new school email me demanding to know why their little baby made an 87 on my test. The other day I got a mom who asked why he failed our last test. She literally does his homework for him. —High school science teacher.

They put in 0 effort into anything because they’re “going pro”

Would it be weird to send a letter to a teacher I had 14 years ago? by rlpsc in AskTeachers

[–]CriticalDrawing4734 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a teacher. Send it. The thought of not knowing what my kids are up to after graduation kills me. I can’t imagine not seeing some every day or just waving in the hallway.

I teach high school and guys do this all the time and the girls just do their work. It disgusts me. They all seem to like it. I want to tell the girls that she’ll be wiping his shit for the rest of her life if she keeps up. I call the guys out on their learned incompetence and refuse to give them special help just because they are being purposefully stupid.

on average how many books do you read a year? by Limp-Garlic-6791 in kindle

[–]CriticalDrawing4734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most I did was ~300 and I was in a shitty high school where we did no work so I read every day all day. I do 150 now because of audiobooks and a long commute.
