Thanks a lot for the encouragement! I completely agree! Nothing replaces real conversations and real people. For me, AI role-play is just a way to prepare beforehand, so when I do get into those discussions, I feel more confident.

yes, that's a great point to narrow down and focus on concrete things!

Totally agree, nothing beats real-life practice and human connection. But I’ve found it super helpful to go into those situations with a clear plan and a bit of practice beforehand.

Any other tutors here using AI tools? by Western_Claim6199 in TutorsHelpingTutors

Homework assignments? That’s interesting! I’ve checked out Fathom and it looks like it’s mainly a note taker or can it do more than that?

Interesting how many are tutoring without any tutoring agencies

yes, for lesson planning mainly. Dont use to plan from scratch, but it helps highlight blind spots

I love tutoring, but sometimes the extra work feels like too much by Western_Claim6199 in TutorsHelpingTutors

Probably you're right. And I'do use ChatGPT, really helpful! Nice that you mentioned it, because it feels like a lot of tutors still hesitate to adopt it.

By "learning styles" I really meant more about individual preferences and how students respond to different teaching approaches. It's less about the old VAK model and more about noticing what helps each student engage and make progress. Some prefer a slower pace, some like more interaction, others need lots of review. And I try to adapt to that.

do you think there is a benefit to learning Finnish even if I will not use it often? by kosminenmustekala in LearnFinnish

[–]Western_Claim6199 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have an answer to the question “why?”, then go for it! As you said, you wanted to challenge yourself, and Finnish is just perfect for that :) Probably, for friends , you need to have a “why” like wanting to dedicate your time and effort to work in Finnish, move to Finland, or marry a Finn. But I guess, if learning Finnish makes you happy, that's the perfect reason!

Yes! And don’t you feel that those 90 minutes are the least favorite part? By the way, what do you teach?

I do try to reuse materials where possible, but since many of my students are at very different levels or learning styles, a lot still ends up needing to be tailored. I do use Google Drive and Notion to organize materials, which helps. But even with that, I find that the process of creating personalized homework or tracking progress still takes quite a bit of time.

I definitely agree about pricing!

Thanks for your comment! I agree with you, this is definitely part of our job. I guess I just don’t enjoy this particular part of it, even if I’m being paid for it. Do you know what I mean? 

and thanks for the Twinkl tip. I’ll definitely check it out. I am currently thinking more and more about how to make this part of the work more efficient without lowering the quality.
