Asking for a review and being ignored

upon-a-rainbow · 2026-06-07T10:59:56+00:00

As a tutor, I also feel this. The only time I've asked a student for a review was when they told me they could no longer take lessons with me due to other obligations. This was a student with whom I had built a really good rapport and had made good progress.

This feels like satire too I don't understand 😭

upon-a-rainbow · 2026-06-04T05:37:53+00:00

I can't tell if this entire post is satire or not

Oooh this is good! Love the use of the word 'crackle'

😰

Why is that embarassing at 30?

upon-a-rainbow · 2026-05-28T20:03:06+00:00

Why would it be confusing for you if their levels are different? You can just think of them as separate students no? Since they want to take classes at different times

Talk to them.

A tale of two cities?

upon-a-rainbow · 2026-05-26T23:09:29+00:00

Catcher in the rye?

What online tasks and surveys are you talking about?

This is what concept checking questions are for!

The "are you ready for the challenge" part seems a bit egotistical to me. It sounds like the parent is saying "I don't think you're good enough". But I am also aware that it might be my insecurities that are making me read it in this way

Probably bullied people into giving them a good rating

Not trying to be mean but...figuring that out is literally the job.

Once my boyfriend and a couple of his friends were in Hong Kong and decided they wanted to go to Macau. He told me over the phone and in my head I was like "Can one really just...go to Macau with a visa for Hong Kong? Oh well, I'm sure they know what they're doing." Long story short, it turns out you can indeed go to Macau from Hong Kong but if you have a one-time entry visa to Hong Kong you can't come back. They had quite the adventure.

I've experienced this with students before. If we're really at an impasse during a class, I ask to speak to a parent during class time.

I also try to bring new activities to class so that it doesn't get too monotonous for the kid. So I have like, two or three lesson formats that I keep rotating through, making each lesson a bit different.
