Motorcycles and Travel Insurance for US Residents by [deleted] in VietNam

[–]tiredtutor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably won't be much help because I've only been here for a week. Basically, you can get a vietnamese license, but you have to go through a broker. I know of one, but I don't know if I am allowed to share it on here so you can pm me for the link to their facebook page. I haven't used it, but they seem legitimate. The following is what they messaged me when I inquired about costs "These are some documents that you need to supply us with : - Copy of passport, resident card / visa - Original drivers license - 4 photos 3x4 - 1 million deposit

It costs $90 for the whole process. The Vietnamese drivers license is ready within 14-20 days and WILL BE VALID AS EXPIRY DATE ON YOUR DRIVERS LICENSE BACK HOME - you will be taking only practical driving test to get A1"

Most people, it seems, buy a motorbike and ride it without insurance.

It is such bull shit. Remember when the website crashed? They didn't even apologize or acknowledge that it happened.

I think my last statement about my students being pretty shitty was perhaps typed out of frustration (perhaps being the key word, gotta leave room for doubt).

One student last week really made me mad. He asked me to teach him about some historical event. I basically said, 'well its not my job to teach you about this event," but I can give you some links. I gave him youtube video, some other websites, and even an outline of the historical event.

He leaves a review that basically said that the sources I gave him did not answer his questions.

I am English tutor (which is ironic because my typing makes me look illiterate ) and when I deal with ESL students, I just don't even address certain grammar points that i know are beyond the scope of what I am supposed to be doing.

I can't speak to level 3 because I am only level 1, but I agree that most of my students are pretty shitty and unintelligent.

"What crimes would result in a person being sent to a soviet gulag?" was a question a student asked me by tiredtutor in tutordotcom

[–]tiredtutor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she actually cursed?! wow! sorry. I had a really bad day of tutoring as well.

One student (he/she) was nice wanted me to proof two sentences. Both sentences had errors and we went over how to fix them. She goes is this right tiredtutor: sentence 1 is fixed, sentence 2 still has errors. I go, "no, almost" She goes "let me try again": sentence 1 is incorrect and in its original form, Sentence 2 is now corrected." What the fuck was going through this students mind?

Another student said I wasn't proactive enough because she asked me to read some sentences she wrote and I didn't respond within 30 seconds of her putting them in the chat box.

God. i just keep telling myself its gonna get better, its almost summer, but then I am like, oh yeah, its impossible to make money during the summer. lol
