It didnt have to be solely for yr12 students, it could be for yr11s as well, and thats what I thought it would mainly be for as term was coming up soon, preliminary finals and then start of the hsc assessments which count.
Once again, the whole "you need work expreience before we will give you a job, but you cannot get experience without a job " conundrum :|
I have tried bloody everything possible, I have done the voluntary tutoring at university, I do have 4 years of work experience in retail ( yes I know not in tutoring, obviously not ). My price of $20/hr over the christmas hollidays until uni goes back in early march ( and $25/hr after uni goes back ) is more than reasonable , considering I currently get about $17.50/hr at the current place I work at ( and im gauranteed a 6hr shift/week and I dont have to factor in extra transport costs of going to 6 different places for 6 individual students for just 1hr of pay ) . I am not bloody charging $50/hr like all the arrogant 99.95ATAR students fresh out of high school, and they all say they are full, unbelievable!
I have even had a past teacher from my highschool email me last November about the possibility of tutoring here daughter in University Maths ( but it was for medical science, and I have seen/heard that that kind of math is very different from engineering math and involves alot more statistics and shit that I wouldnt have seen before ) so I had to decline. I did ask the teacher to put an ad for me up in the school library but who knows how effective it will be, I got the award for most outstanding in mathematics for the year, I wonder if that will mean anything :| .
Also, I posted that "free maths tutoring ad" to see what kind of a response I would get if I actually did do free maths tutoring and it seems like no one even wants that :| . Even though I wouldnt give free tutoring in the first place ( because I need some money , not tons like the greedy 99.95ATAR, but yes I am a person and I do some money . But also because everyone on this site has had enough freebies as it is in terms of online help. Besides it doesnt really look like money is the issue when it comes to tutoring because all of the greedy bastards straight from high school with no experience charging $50/hr are FULL :S ) it is nice to know that no one would even want free tutoring.
Also FYI : I have gotten 3 emails over the past 8months about tutoring, and all emails I have responded back with something along the lines " I am free these times ....... etc etc.... please email me back what day and time you would like " and to all of those emails that I have responsed to I have got no replies to any of them, ever again, coincedence?? or someone on this site making up email addresses and playing games with me??
