Cost of private ​teaching

[Philipg114763]

Hi all has anyone got any idea on the cost of private teaching for a few hour a week for a 10 year old english boy  to learn a few hours a week english and maths while his mum is over her for a few months next year thanks  

[Is this real]

Don't know where you live, but, here in Phuket, private tutoring by a quality teacher is B500 per hour.  Most non-native English teachers are not very good because they've been taught by other non-native English teachers.  And, most good ones don't know a thing about teaching math.

Good Luck.

Almost any Math teacher can teach English, but very few English teachers can teach Math.  There are also WP issues.  Check out Kahn Academy or www.brilliant.org.

Private lessons are as little as B20.00 an hour and as much as B1000.00

Usually the parents responsibility to help their kid with school work.

 

Just takes a little bit of imagination.

Sometimes outside help can be more effective than the tutoring of parents.

 

Same thing  can hold true with teaching someone how to drive a car.

Ten year olds don’t drive cars, they read books and do puzzles. Kind of thing mums & dads do with their children.

My goodness.  

 

We have to give a guy hard time just trying to help his kid?

 

 

Tutors have been used since beginning of education.  Good on OP for reaching out.

A degree in elementary education requires one Math course; Math for Education Majors.  As a result, 70% of students entering community colleges require remedial Math.  That means courses without credit.  The last NES, degreed (Psychology) English teacher, that I gave a GED skills assessment to, missed the first four out of five multiple choice questions and gave up.

This is true. I heard that 1/2 of all English teachers don't even understand fractions, and the other 3/4 don't care.

And they will also scowl if you dare start talking about the area to the right of the decimal point, as if they are too important and wealthy to engage is small numbers.  Like I told one of the nursing students in my test prep class... An error on the decimal point could kill someone..and you would be 100% at fault.

 

 

 

A simple problem involving compound interest (they despise money and banking problems, too.  They likely already have plenty of them.):. You deposit 4000 at an annual rate of 2%, interest is paid twice per year, and compounded.  Without making any withdrawals, how much will be in the account after one year?

 

You would think someone just paid with a 1000 THB note at the Phayao farmer's market...there is a quiet panic.
