Any ideas? Also, how much should I charge?

(1) If your area has any program set up for community volunteers to tutor elementary school kids for free, sign up and do that. Why? That will give you credibility. They will probably run a background check on you. They might also provide some brief training in how to tutor the elementary kids. So you can advertise that you are ALREADY a tutor in such and such Elementary School.

(2) Put up flyers in coffee shops. Lots of moms go to coffee shops in the mornings and afternoon.

(3) On your flyers, state your credentials and what you charge. State things such as: if an honor student; your GPA if it is high; subject you have all A’s in; any Advanced Placement classes you’ve taken; any academic awards won. Put nice photo of yourself on the flyer.

(4) Put ads on Craigslist, if there is one for your city or town.

(5) To decide on a price, do searches on Google and see what others are charging in your state or city or town.

(6) To be a tutor is an important position of trust. Peoples’ future are at stake. Make sure you do a good job!

I know it’s quite a ways away but never too early to plan. I don’t feel like being at home for my last school year. I want to go to boarding school but it is too expensive. Are there any alternatives?

If you are a very good student, you can do dual enrollment at the local college or even enroll a year early. There are several private colleges that will let you start early.

Thanks

4 year degree and take the state certification test!

But, please think about a different academic focus. Too many social studies teachers already. Example: chemistry position opened and we received 3 resumes. An American history position opened and there were 87 resumes. Both positions were open for 3 days. Which teacher is more valuable and harder to find?

Do some research into this before you decide on becoming a history teacher.

I do not want a career just for money and i just want to know. I would love teaching and i know i want to help children achieve success. I have the right grades as well.

Starting out, the salary would be around £20,000, rising eventually to roughly £30,000 per year. Of course, there is opportunity for promotion, such as faculty head, pastoral care / guidance and deputy head teacher / head teacher, in which case you would be likely to earn significantly more. Take a look at some vacancies on local authority websites and that should give you a better idea.

He wants to go to the school where most of his friends are planning on going, even though the reputation is very poor and the ofstead report was quite damming. My preference is for another school, which is smaller and is well equipt, with a reasonable reputation (After all who doesn’t want their child in the best school available?). In your opinion who should get the final say?

let him have his way and bear the consequences of his decision. if forced, he will turn negative and blame everything on u. all we do is guide and facilitate n if he’s bright he will still get his As. so no worries, his future is his. sounds terrible but isnt better to have a happy family life with happy kids and happy moments than anger and resentment [which we had in ours which carried thru till their working lives - thats our regret] and they’re doing well , thank the powers that be!
all the best

house. I suppose there will be some noise from the children and more difficulty
with parking. Do you think this will lower the value of my house ?

Usually house prices go up when they are near a school.

There were some nice students and mean students, and some of the teachers weren’t nice either. In 6th & 8th grade it was mainly the students. What have you experienced in the past at school? It can happen in high school and in the real world also. Is high school more gossipy?

In middle school adolescent hormones and behavior greatly affect the milieu of the school. High school tends to be much nicer than middle school.

I was just wanted to know what grades you needed like GCSE’S , and A level courses i would need to take and then on to uni ?

You need at least a C in Maths, English and Science.

You could take just about any A Levels and degree course, although there is more demand for Maths and Sciences.

You could either do a regular degree followed by a one year course of Initial Teacher Training (such as a GTP or PGCE), or a BEd with QTS.

I would love to be a primary school teacher, however with the prices of uni its almost impossible for me to go. I was wondering if there is any other routes I could take to become a primary school teacher, eg night courses? I’m not quite sure how to get into teaching without a degree.
Any answers will help, thanks!

You can’t.

You MUST have a degree to get Qualified Teacher Status.

How about an OU degree?
