Tutor Management 106: Budgeting for Professional Development as a Professional Tutor

It is a different thing if you are tutoring just for the summer break to earn a few extra bucks, but what when you want to tutor professionally. Research has shown that not only do students benefit from a trained teacher; tutors who have undergone prior training and development do a much better job than those who haven’t. So before you consider taking up tutoring professionally do consider honing your skills by undergoing professional development and training.

Here are 10 reasons why you should consider budgeting for professional development as a professional tutor.

1. Even though you may have a knack for teaching students, to maximize your potential one must consider professional development. This may be in the form of a part time course or training. For any profession- formal training takes your performance to a whole new level.

2. When you undergo professional development it automatically bring about a change in the way you teach and your outlook on the subject and student. This directly has an impact on your student’s achievement.

3. Professional development is primarily done for the overall improvement in student learning.

4. Professional development helps tutors better understand different types of students. As a professional tutor you do get students with different scales of abilities and mind sets. You cannot always deal with each and every student in the same way, it is very necessary to understand and approach each differently.

5. Undergoing training also helps you realise various curriculums and what is expected to be learnt by the student for better career prospects.

6. By concentrating on professional development you may also attract many more clients that may opt for you rather than a tutor who has no formal training to their credit.

7. Learning to teach students from different backgrounds and standards can get challenging. With honing your skills as a professional tutor, you get well trained to teach students of diverse backgrounds and ethnicities.

8. Professional development for tutors is a continuous process by which you learn to get more out of your students and your profession.

9. Receiving professional development as a tutor helps you approach students better. Trains you to better impart knowledge amongst your pupils, weather it is on a one on one basis or a class room.

10. On the long run the bargain of receiving Professional development always pays off, if you later opt to teach in a school or college.

10 Tutoring Careers in Sports

Get a degree in physical education (P.E) - this is the first step towards pursuing  a teaching career in sports. This would give a good enhancement to your resume’. The P.E. degree opens a number of avenues in health, exercise and sports science. Certifications in a specialized field would be appreciated by employers.

It is a notion that career after a PE degree entails nothing but gym teacher, which is a myth. The reality says otherwise.

1         Water fitness: this is a kind of specialized resistance training given to players who play close contact sports and athletics. This reduces the chances of injury to muscles. A class lasts for 45-50 minutes. It is the best way of stretching your body.

2        Athletic trainer: It requires licensed certification and also recognized by American Medical Association (AMA). Their services are applied at training centers, schools, universities and even the defense.

3        Exercise Physiologist: They study the impact of a particular exercise on the player’s body.  They keep a track of the effectiveness of exercise. They don’t require licensing and thus they can range from sports trainers to sports scientists.

4        Group exercise instructor: In all sports there is certain training that has to be done in group i.e. along with the team players. You need to have a skill set like PR skills to manage them. Some good examples are aerobics and yoga.

5        Sports medicine: This requires certification. They prevent, manage and predict the pathologies resulting from sport activities.

6        Personal Coaching: if you have represented your state or country in a particular sport then you can train the future candidates by helping them understand the strategies and regular fitness.

7        Strength and Conditioning Coach: It is very important for players to increase their stamina. If a player has been injured then he has to be trained for a better form. Without their help a player won’t be able to play.

8       Sport Nutrition: players won’t be able to play right if they don’t eat right. Management of their diet chart is of crucial importance. Each player has separate requirements.

9        Clubs: if you have been a achiever in a particular sports then you can start a club where you can coach the future generation of enthusiast. This can also lead to sponsoring a upcoming talent in sports. Boxing is a good example.

10    Team coach: This is a prestigious position. You design strategies and evaluate the performances of the player. A coach is a leader apart from being a sportsman.

Websites and Newsletters: 10 Strategies to Keep Clients Engaged

Planning the right strategy for newsletters and websites may not be tough, what however seems to be missing is customer satisfaction. Newsletters and websites should be written keeping in mind what the clients would want, so as to keep them engaged in and out. This blog will dwell into the strategies required to keep clients engaged.

Firstly, you could start by adding more sources to collect feedback from your clients – you could create short or long surveys. Short surveys are however preferable as your clients wouldn’t really have the time to complete long surveys and even if they do, you may get an incomplete survey. The short surveys should be related to your website or rather your product. You could make it interesting by introducing a quiz to make it look fun or could even ask for opinions about website.

Secondly you could also tell your story. Who doesn’t like peeking in and knowing it all? You could tell your clients about how your company works .You could also give educate them about your company picture, for example- about the launching of a new products et al.

Another interesting way to get your clients engaged is by- Adding their reviews or rather publishing their recommendations. This would make your readers want to be a part of your newsletter or website.

You could make a blog especially for your clients and subscribers. It would make them feel special and would in turn engage more in your websites or newsletters.

Increasing media exposure is another creative option you could keep in mind-newsletters is read by many especially the media. The media is an added advantage as it would cover your company stories.

You could engage your clients otherwise- like for example twitter. It surely helps with marketing and would also help you connect better with your clients by building meaningful relationships, asking for testimonies, and lastly asking them to share interesting articles.

You could make your website a little more interesting by creating videos. As said, Actions are louder than words- For all said and done; you may get your clients engaged more often since the video would have detailed information.

With respect to newsletters you could spice it up by giving away a prize in each issue. Now wouldn’t this interest your client? Think about it.

Try giving your newsletter a personality- A personality that would make your client want to read or check out every detail in your magazine. Try giving your newsletter the Edge.

And lastly and importantly keep in touch with your clients regularly- They will not come to you and may not even bother doing so. You should keep sending them mails, newsletters et al on a regular basis. And you should make sure to do something new in the next issue, which would get the client's interest. These strategies have found to be very beneficial for some successful businesses.

10 Reasons To Only Work on a Project Per Month for Your Tutoring Business

A tutoring business can be a very beneficial and rewarding venture, for both the tutor and the student. When you start a tutoring business, you are giving a part of your time and skills to developing the skills of another individual. There are several ways in which you can tutor, such as home tutoring, online tutoring, group tutoring and classroom tutoring. Which ever method of tutoring you choose, it is best that you ensure never to overdo it. Maintain a steady workload so that you are able to give your full focus to the students you handle at any given time.

Based on studies and research conducted on tutoring styles and habits, many consider that taking on one project at a time is the best way to efficient tutoring. Here are 10 reasons why.

1. Give full attention – when you have only one project to work on at a time, you are able to focus complete attention on the task and the students in that group. This allows you to help tutor the students more efficiently.

2. Maintain high quality of teaching – teaching a project at a time enables you to ensure the right amount of knowledge and correct knowledge is shared with pupils.

3. Ensure you don’t rush things – when you don’t have multiple projects to work with, you get ample time to focus on the one task at hand, thereby ensuring you don’t rush through courses where students may not follow well.

4. Maintain consistency in training – like the saying goes, ‘take one step at a time’. Similarly, keeping a limit on the workload to take on helps you maintain a clear and consistent level of teaching.

5. Get better concentration levels – both you and the students are able to concentrate better when there is just one project to focus on at a time.

6. Better success rates – when you give everything into one project a month rather than focusing on multiple tasks, it produces better quality results, both to your students, and to you in terms of your reputation as a tutor.

7. Stay organized – a project a month helps you stay organized and not create confusion with too many tasks to handle.

8. Ensure you don’t get stressed out – the more work you need to handle the more stressed you get. So keep it simple and take on one project at a time.

9. Have plenty of time to prepare – when you have just one project on hand per month, you have enough time out of the schedule to prepare for your sessions.

10. Get time to work on obtaining the next project.

Tutor Management 108: Company Communication to Clients

Communication, of any kind, is a highly essential factor in any relation, whether it is between family, friends, or a formal company to client communication. When it comes to business communication, it becomes all the more important to ensure proper flow, style and content of communication, because it will ultimately reflect on the company in question. However, the thing that is most important in business related communication is promptness and regularity.

A company has several channels of communication to its clients, such as marketing communication, customer service, scheduling communication and the like. Communication is an essential connection between the business and its client. The more a business is personally connected to a client, the more the client trusts the business. This also helps build customer loyalty to the business.

Here are some reasons why communication between a company and its client is important.

¨      Build relations: when a client gets timely and prompt communication from a company, the bridge between the two is easily crossed, leading to better and stronger relations.

¨      Reduce negativity: by constant communication with clients, the business can understand if there is anything lacking. This helps in fixing the issue immediately to avoid any discredit to the company.

¨      Customer loyalty: efficient communication will keep your customer feeling recognized, and thereby gets them to do business with the company again.

¨      Cuts out misunderstanding: if the client is always informed and in the loop of things, the chance of any kind of misunderstanding is averted, leading to a healthy relationship.

Now that the importance of communication has been established, here are 5 tips to effectively communicate to clients.

¨      Improve customer service: whenever a client calls in for any kind of assistance, ensure that customer support offers the quickest and easiest solutions.

¨      Deliver valuable communication to clients: don’t just stop at customer service and regular meetings. Go the extra mile to deliver quality marketing, advertising, product-related material and market related material to the client. This helps in them feeling valued.

¨      Create informal dialogues with the client: try to get your client into discussions or forums to identify what needs they have that are not yet met by the company.

¨      Ensure prompt communication of important information: always keep the client informed about the status of the client’s business with the company. Be prompt in delivering updates and schedules.

¨      Open up channels to encourage client feedback: getting a response from clients about their interaction with the company will go a long way in helping improve communication.

10 Strategies to Find Students to Tutor During the School Time

A tutor is someone who assists in improving the learning skills of others. Tutoring involves training students on subjects that the tutor is an expert at, and which the students need help understanding or learning. Generally done on an individual basis, tutors conduct tutoring classes depending on their and the student’s schedules. As such, tutoring while the student is at school becomes a tough task.

However, with the right method and approach, you can easily get a good number of students to attend tutoring classes during school time. Here are 10 strategies to help you do so.

1. Tutor in class sessions: you can take guest sessions in particular subjects where students require more attention, and tutor during a particular hour of that subject in a week.

2. Find free hours during school time: if a particular class has a free hour between classes, rope them into a tutoring class instead of wasting time.

3. Tie up with schools to have a tutoring hour: many schools will actually take on a part time tutor to help students out, and even give you an hour or two a week regularly to do so.

4. Plan a recess tutoring session: recess or break time can become a learning experience for students if you can come up with innovative ways to teach while they take their time off from classes. Things like games or fun question-answer sessions can help in tutoring students while they are actually at ease.

5. Detention classes: detention classes are a great way to teach! Though it might sound like a punishment to the students, coming up with fun and educational tutoring styles can make their detention class more manageable.

6. Before or after official school hours: add an extra hour either just before or after official school hours to conduct tutoring classes. This way, students will get into a routine of attending because there is no gap of time between school classes and other activities.

7. Assist during class hours: regular lecturers will allow you to come into their class hours from time to time to assist with the lecture.

8. Engage with weak students during classes: weak students might be benefited more from one on one tutoring than being with the entire class. As such, you can request permission to tutor them individually during those subject hours that the student is weak in.

9. Tutor on weekends: weekend classes might be a distraction for students, but making it fun and interesting along with educational can earn you a good number of students.

10. Online tutoring: online tutoring can be achieved at any time, making it a very simple and easy method of tutoring during school time as well.
