Let's get started
Hello, team. It's student feedback week. Yesterday, all of you received an email with a shared document called "MPT Tutor Feedback Term 1 2026."
Your names are listed on the side. Go to the tab with your name and start filling in a proforma. Prepare one of these proformas for each of your students. Please make the changes directly in the document instead of creating a separate one and copying and pasting the content. "" I do this for myself because it's easier to read a few at a time, rather than reading all of them the night before they need to be sent out. I won't do a very good job of that, and it won't reflect well on any of us.
You have until next Tuesday, March 18th, to have them all completed.
That's for all of your students. You need to allow ten minutes per student to write them. As an employer, as we discussed yesterday for those who were present, I can usually only ask you to work during your assigned shift or shift day. However, I am paying you for an extra 10 minutes to write it. After they are all in next Tuesday, you will have an additional five minutes to send them off. When sending them all, you must include this cover letter.
This cover letter is in the first tab. You need to insert your name here.
Underneath that, use TutorBird to email both the parent and the student. However, write your message with the parent as your main audience. When you do that... When you do that, remember to keep the wording as simple as possible. Parents have limited time. They have many tasks to complete.
They don't understand the educational jargon many of us use.
Remember to keep it simple. I often say to use the kind of language you would use with a year five student to help them understand something. Use that same language here. Returning to the administration, how will this work? As an employer, I can only ask you to do it during your shift time. Many of you have already shared your available shift times, and those slots have been filled by students.
I understand that you have university, social lives, and some of you also have other jobs. As long as this is completed by next Tuesday, or I see it being done by then, you will still be paid 15 minutes per student. It will all be included in the week eight payroll. That's where you need to add it. Add it to week eight, which is next week's timesheet. The tricky part will be sending it out.
You need to allocate a different amount of time to send it out, but that's different. You can do this at home, on the train, or in the car, as long as they are done. I understand that... For me, flexibility is key. As long as we provide the service at good quality and meet expectations, that's great. How do we fill out the template?
The template is straightforward. Our initial tutoring goal was to. When choosing the tutoring goal, consider the student's previous report or last assessment. For example, if they scored at a basic level, we focus on developing their skills so they can achieve a sound level. Specify the area clearly and be as specific as possible. Here, Grace has written addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
It could be that they came to us because they're losing marks in their essay writing. Their PEEL structures need to be improved. The analysis section needs to be reviewed, or they may not be answering the question correctly. That's what you say. Please limit the tutoring goals to only two. That's realistic.
We see them a maximum of 10 times per term, so there are two goals. Set quality goals. What have you accomplished so far this term? For high school students studying math, it's a bit easier. You just need to review the scope and sequence to see what you've covered so far, such as X, Y, and Z. This matches the school curriculum and prepares you for the upcoming exam in week six. However, we were also looking at improving algebra.
We spent ten minutes on algebra at the start of each session. This included a quiz every week, and we will continue to do that because there is still room for improvement. We're still focusing on... We are still working on year eight algebra when we could be doing year nine algebra. You can summarize it that way. When we get to homework, I want everyone to focus on only seven weeks. We are only reporting up to week seven.
Out of the seven weeks, how many times has the student given you their homework? If they have only been with us for three weeks, write "out of three weeks." If it has been two weeks, write "out of two weeks." This part is very important. We say, "Unfortunately, we cannot count or give feedback on work we have not physically seen." Please do not report that a student has completed homework just because they said so. If you have not seen the work, you cannot provide feedback. If a parent asks you about it, or asks any of us, what will we say? If it's not seen, it's not done for us.
Some achievements from the past seven weeks. It could be that when they come in and take their quizzes, we have been scoring this, and now we are scoring that. It could be that so-and-so can now write an introduction to an essay independently after analyzing the question and making a plan with their tutor. Any number of things. You can have up to four wins here.
Next, what are we doing? What is our next goal? Only give them two. Our goals may come from feedback from a past assessment. They may also come from something we observe. Only two here.
To see further improvement in study and learning, I recommend two things. Just keep it at that. Two only. It could be as simple as encouraging someone to leave their phone in the living area while doing their homework. Maybe something more specific.
Our high school students need something concrete. I suggest that a student spends 10 minutes every day doing five math questions, instead of sitting down for an hour a week to complete all their homework. Something like that. I will go up to the wins. Moving forward, we will try to have something measurable there. If you plan to have four wins moving forward, try to make at least one or two of them measurable. That's all for now. All items need to be in by next Tuesday, the 18th. I will guide you on sending them out, preferably by the following week.
Preferably by Friday. We all need to push ourselves a bit, but even if we move it to Saturday, please do not contact parents on Sundays.
Yeah, don't start that. No Sunday emails, okay?
Enjoy the rest of your week. I'm really proud of all of you. Bye.
