#programming tutor

[leguin]

one of my professors from undergrad is quoted in that nymag article about AI in colleges, and man is it bleak to consider that a philospher and poet who was co-teaching honors classes with the head of the biology department a decade ago - quite difficult classes that i struggled with constantly and gained so much from! - is now ready to retire and thinks the newest college graduates will be functionally illiterate

Random question for the coding folks...

If I were to just straight up like... offer free programming tutoring, are there folks out on Tumblr who would be interested?

Obtaining PTE (Pearson Test of English) results without actually taking the exam is not legitimate or allowed. In Australia, as in many other countries, institutions require official language test scores for admissions, immigration, or job applications, and these scores need to be acquired through approved testing methods. Attempts to obtain PTE results without taking the test or through unauthorized means could lead to serious consequences, including legal action and the potential for being banned from taking the test in the future. If you're looking to improve your PTE scores, here are some practical, legal ways to achieve results more easily: https://sydneypte.com

Use Online Practice Resources

Pearson and other websites offer free and paid practice tests that simulate the actual PTE exam. Regular practice with these tests can help you become familiar with the format and improve your skills.

Enroll in a PTE Preparation Course

There are many preparation courses available both in-person and online, specifically tailored to the PTE exam. These courses often include tips, strategies, and personalized feedback to help you improve quickly.

Practice English Daily

Regularly practicing speaking, listening, reading, and writing in English can be incredibly beneficial. Watch English media, read books, and try to converse in English as much as possible to build your language skills organically.

Use PTE Preparation Apps

There are various mobile apps that can help you prepare for the PTE. These often have mock exams, exercises, and study plans that can help you practice anytime, anywhere.

Work with a Tutor

If you’re struggling with specific areas, working with a tutor can provide focused help in those areas, making your preparation more efficient and effective.

Review PTE Scoring Criteria

Understanding how the test is scored can help you focus on areas that carry the most weight and improve those sections for a higher overall score.

Take Advantage of PTE Academic Practice Tests

Pearson offers official practice tests that give you a realistic idea of your current level and allow you to identify areas of improvement before taking the actual test. Legitimate preparation can help you achieve your desired score without risking your future goals or reputation.https://sydneypte.com

Offering Free Software/Web Dev Tutoring Sessions on Twitch Stream Once a Month!

OK, the people have spoken! There was a definite expression of interest in coding tutoring when I floated a vague post about it towards the coding side of Tumblr, which was very exciting to see! I am really excited about helping teach new people in the industry, and I conveniently have a Twitch stream where I do lots of coding stuff on Sundays. Seems like these two things go well together! :D

Here's the deal:

For right now, I will allocate the first Sunday of every month on my coding stream to tutoring! This will be two slots of an hour each, one from 11am-12pm Central Time and one from 12pm-1pm Central Time. (Depending on interest, there may be more slots in the future as well. :) ) If you are interested in requesting a slot for tutoring, please fill out this form!

This is a pay-what-you-can offering, and if I offer you a live tutoring slot it will be at no charge! However, I welcome donations to whatever degree you can afford them, after the session, to help keep my stream and other projects going.

Submitting this form does not guarantee I will give you a tutoring session, as some subjects are more conducive to demonstrating on stream than others and some may be too far outside of my expertise for me to be helpful. However, I will try to at least reach out to you and provide some helpful resources if I have any to offer. 

If you don't want direct tutoring on stream (or even if you do!), feel free to stop by my Discord server at https://discord.gg/k4gDad5, where we talk about coding, gaming, and plenty of other nerdy stuff! :) Everyone's welcome, just don't be a jerk. ;)

I'll be posting more about this in the future depending on the response I get. Feel free to hit me up with questions if I can clarify anything. :)

Finally - this is a bit of an experiment; I've never tried this before so I will also be learning as I go. :) Suggestions/feedback appreciated.

Thanks for your interest and good luck in your coding adventures!

So I hit my 700th edit for the WHA wiki today, because I am a totally normal person

[ustalav]

my partner was a math tutor for years before he switched to web dev and him tutoring me in calculus was honestly the truest test of a relationship LMAO

i would get so frustrated. im remembering when he helped me study for my final and started giving me sample questions and i was like “ugh. No can we just do the things my professor gave me” and he was like “just humor me. These are common calculus problems”

Anywayyyyy almost every problem he came up with was on the final with slightly different numbers LMAO

YOU WORK WITH KIDS?? can you tell us more? im an early childhood edu major and i cant wait to have more experience.. its so fulfilling

Omg omg hiiii yes I sure can!!! I actually work at the elementary school I used to go to, in a before/afterschool care program where parents can, as the name suggests, drop their kids off before or after school starts so they don't have to take the bus to or from school :) The school is K-3 and only eight minutes from my house, which is fantastic, because I most love working with younger kids and it's SO convenient!!

I work two hours mornings and three hours afternoons basically any time I can manage (though I'm cutting back this semester, since the last one was pretty grueling-- I was doing every shift I physically could, lmao). It's very straightforward: I get to interact with the kids by playing board games and cards or even drawing with them when we're in the cafeteria, or play games outside/in the gym when we do either of those! Fun fact, I arranged a pretty banger "among us" game on the playground last year, and kids who had me last year asked me specifically to facilitate it again this year!! (INCLUDING a family friend who I spent new year's with, so some of my time with friends was interrupted by first- and fourth-graders running into our room asking to be assigned crewmate or imposter, LMAO) I also do homework help and arrange crafts (mostly origami, but I like finding fun coloring pages and other stuff too!) :)))

As you can see from my rambling, I love my job soooo much ahahaha 😊😊😊 It really is so fulfilling!! My kids are so sweet and so funny and so cute, and also, I get PAID to play cards and color?? Yes please!! What experience have you had so far? Your major sounds like a dream, I wish you all the best!!!!
