98 per cent of teachers feel their time is increasingly taken up by bureaucratic, administrative, and compliance tasks

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.

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.Study by Dr James Stigler, The National Commission on Mathematics And Science Teaching For The 21st Century

Every student approaches a challenge uniquely, and have a different
‘struggle’ limit before they give up.

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.
