What we hear from teachers:Slide4
98
per cent of teachers
feel their
time is
increasingly taken
up by
bureaucratic
, administrative, and compliance
tasks
1,000 teachers
surveyed by
the
Australian
Education
Union, ACT Branch, September 2014Slide5
Out-of-hours workload is increasing
because of online delivery:Slide6
10
or 20 years ago, you never would text a parent, but there are more ways we can communicate
now and
a lot of time can be spent with this kind of
communication.
Teachers haven’t been good at that - separating work and home. They’ll take home certain parts of their work to at home but we all know that with teaching you can spend hours and hours and hours every week. It’s endless and so we’ve got to have the disconnect.Dr Nicola Johnson, Senior Lecturer School of Education, Federation University

Students: After-hours, Australian students study 6 hours a week; an hour more than the OCED average.

at a Glance
report released by the
OECD, 2014. Public school 5.1 hours/week, Private school 7.4 hours/week.Slide8
How do Australian students compare…?
US and Japanese students were given an impossible maths problem.
The US students struggled for 15 seconds then gave up.
The Japanese students were still struggling after an hour.

We all have different skills.
Every student approaches a challenge uniquely,
and have a different ‘struggle’ limit before they give up.Slide10
Educators know that getting
“
stuck
” on a challenge
is just part of learning.

YourTutor
offers an independent voice, not a voice that will rewrite the assignment, story or essay, but a critical voice that can assist the students to improve their work. There is no doubt that those students who use the service regularly have benefited. Just receiving feedback that makes them think about their writing is a huge advantage

What
a lovely experience. Actually focused on how to tackle the question instead of just giving me answers. As a Chinese student studying in Australia, It is
kinda
hard to understand all the concepts in
class,Because
I’m a ESL speaker ,I would need that extra help, but the teacher wont have enough time to help everyone,This is where Yoututor really stand out from the rest of the online tutoring sites.At first I thought its another tutor website with tonnes of scripted lines and bots,I didn't give much hope to it ,until I tried it today,Its just like a tutor that helps you in every subject.Now, not all tutors can do that and all of this are just for FREE.I will be using Yoututor
more often,improving on my English skills and essay writing. I'm glad to be one of the students witnessing the turning point of future
education.
