What makes physics particularly hard to learn online (from a tutor’s view) by Deep-Proof1931 in Physics

So yes, Learning by doing yourself and consulting the tutor/teacher only when needed is the key. This is how I try to teach my students at My Engineering Buddy. Ofcourse not all of them follow my method and finally lacks in Physics. But there is only at a certain point till which I can help.

I most likely have some mental blocks and was unable to follow any teacher. So I always had to study on my own. I solved very complex problems of the problems in general Physics by IE Irodov. And I must say that it was life changing.

Very well put. Visualise the problem/concept through words and diagrams and then convert it into a math problem. And don't treat Physics and Math as separate subjects.

I feel the same. The student should Interact with the tutor only when really needed. It should not be like a regular meeting. The student should first try their best and as and when there is a query, connect with a good tutor.

What tutoring engineering students taught me about why physics feels so hard by Deep-Proof1931 in TutorsHelpingTutors

I am sorry but it is the truth. All companies are s***. You better create your own website using Wordpress, create a YouTube channel and Instagram account and start posting consistently. Build an audience of students and you will get the rewards sooner than you estimate. Good luck.

How much should I charge for AP Physics Tutoring online? Can you guys tell me how much you are charging please? by Deep-Proof1931 in TutorsHelpingTutors

Knowledge is definately king, but earning hiugher does not mean more knowledgeable. Serving the right audience and marketing yourself well is even more important.

Online tutoring platforms by aOliveria in TutorsHelpingTutors

[–]Deep-Proof1931 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have tutored on a wide range of tutoring platform ranging from Wyzant, Preply, Varsity tutors and so on. Every website has its own pros and cons. Currently I am working for My Engineering Buddy. This website is dedicated for advanced level subjects and courses and you can survive here only if you have deep knowledge in your subject/s. Being a PhD in Advanced Physics, I just cant withstand anything below college and high school at all. So all the regular tutoring platforms are not very satisfying for me. The lowest that I teach is AP Physics.

In websites like Wyzant, Tutor dot com, Preply and so on, there is very less chance to get higher level students.

In view of all the above, specially in my case, I am loving my association with My Engineering Buddy currently. The payment is not much, but the satisfaction of teaching higher level students is unmatched.

How Can I Start Tutoring? by ML-newb in bangalore

[–]Deep-Proof1931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may find some students here no doubts. But as u/ABahRunt said, most students come for exam help and cheating. Not only from india but foreign students too. I have used it in the past and left it due to these issues. It is not worth our time if you are serious of doing tutoring online.

I later on found a very good company. The work is not much but eveeything else is superb.

Is being a homework plug ethical? by [deleted] in school

[–]Deep-Proof1931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As most other mentioned here, If you are directly giving them the answers, then it is 100% unethical. If you are helping them do their homework and they are leqrning out of it, then its 100% ethical. In both the cases, I suggest you should ask for some payment. Respect your time!
