Smart ways how Tutors can stay Employed in an Apps educated world

In today’s world due to the rapid advancement of technology and Internet, students prefer to study from home using different learning apps. These apps offer complete courses with regular assessment and exams. As a result, there is a decrease in numbers of students opting for tuitions or coaching classes. There are various reasons why students are preferring app-based studies such as it is cost efficient, saves travelling time, it is according to their timings, etc. So to curb these apps and in order to attract students to their classes, tutors will need to upgrade themselves and make their classes more efficient. Following are the ways by which tutors need to improve:

• Tutors need to advance and equip themselves with technology. They need to introduce new and interesting ways of teaching like power point presentations, E-boards, teaching lessons through videos and pictures, giving students some research work and various types of group projects. All these ways will attract students and help them to study. They should also not pressure students on scoring great marks as it decreases the confidence of a student. Reduce the amount of homework and try to make them finish all their work in the class.

• Tutors need to upgrade their skills and knowledge. They need to remove previous methods of teaching and upgrade to new skills. This will help them in teaching students and increase their potential. If they want to compete with the app based education they will need to use the latest technology and have all types of gadgets. They need to make all types of data regarding what they are teaching, maintain student's performance and pass this data on to the parents.

• Advertise about your class or you being a tutor. As we know people generally opt for things that they see. So good advertisement and marketing skills are the keys for you. Promote your classes through internet ads, by posting huge banners on building and roads, mention about the top scorers whom you taught previously, make business cards and brochures that state that you offer tutoring services and hand them out to people you know. You can also use platforms like television or radio to advertise your tutoring services.

• Build a good relationship with students as that will make them comfortable and they will be able to ask their doubts freely. Share your own experience of failure and how you overcame them. Find out about their passions so you can make tutoring sessions more interesting. Mention different type of stories and a bit comic effect so that the class does not become monotonous and boring. You should communicate clearly with parents as that will give a clear picture to them about how their child is performing. Email the details how about the child on the every first day of the month. Have a fair amount of breaks during a tutoring session. It will keep the students fresh and relaxed. They will be able to learn more properly.

Although app-based education is on the rise, most of the people prefer tutor classes. It is because in a tutor class a tutor can focus on each student personally and parents know about whom to contact when there is a problem. Tutor classes should make reduce their cost as it will benefit children. By improving themselves and using latest technology tutor classes can still compete with these app-based education.
