I am currently signed up with sherpa tutors as a computer science tutor. And Its been quiet (I know computer science is abit niche).
I was wondering is there any tutoring websites out there who focus more on STEM subjects or alot of stem students use?
Much appreciated
Recently I had a student I was tutoring they were extremely clever they got 7s in their mock GCSEs and were aiming for 9s. I tutored them for the first few sessions they were great she'd tell me what she struggled with etc so I focused on them. She had parents evening so I told her to ask the teachers what she required to jump from a 7 to a 9 because quite frankly she'd understand whatever i'd help her with.
The problem was she'd expect me to teach her new content in the GCSE syllabus which I didn't mind doing because I undertook the same exams a few years ago but she'd never turn up to the session saying what she wanted to focus on or any struggles she had.
I was wondering was this a fault on my part she left?
Was I not stretching her brain enough or was it just that she thought she needed tutoring but realised she didn't.
Recently I have gotten into reading books however I don't have anywhere to store all these books etc and sometimes I do like being able to refer back to it. However I thought maybe I should buy a e reader something like the kindle paperwhite. However I don't want to be locked in the Amazon ecosystem.
Is it worth "jailbreaking" the kindle paperwhite or are there alternatives out there where I can sideload my own books. (I paid for them but they are on different services).
