I know that all of you must be wondering why the dog’s owner is back.. but people, there’s nothing you can do about it. So just learn how to deal with it. Also, I’m acting dry and callous because I just came back from 4 hours of tuitions and believe it or not, but it’s quite hard to be the perfect and happy fairy after you’ve gone through such tumultuous torture.
You know that feeling when you study for about 3-4 hours and sincerely do all the homework and then the tutor tells you that you don’t study. Oh! That rage and the redness on the face. The agitation of the hands and the strong will power that stops your hand from slapping the tutor’s face BAD and splashing the tea that he’s sipping on his face. I personally feel that tutors expect us to achieve Einstein’s brilliance within the 2 days gap between 2 classes. Sir, I’m really sorry but forget about Einstein, I refuse to achieve your son’s brilliance in 2 days. Thank you.
How greedy are these tutors anyway? They’ll never say no to free food, be it drinking hot tea on a 46 degree Celsius summer afternoon or drinking ice cold coke on a 1 degree Celsius winter morning. And then they’re constant munching noises. How can someone want to solve determinants and trigonometry when he is constantly being disrupted by gasps of chocolate biscuits and potato chips?
Classes that were supposed to begin at 3 begin at 4.30 and when you take like 2 minutes and 4 seconds to find a pen.. you waste the tutor’s time. Let alone those 15 minutes the tutor takes to inform us about the overwhelming response he gets as a tutor and how he obliges us by taking out time from his utterly busy schedule to ‘impart’ wisdom to us. And does he come with an inbuilt timer that activates a spring as soon as the one hour gets over?
“Hehehe” with a shallow grin is all the tutor extracts through his super lame jokes. If you’re not funny, and if the student does not laugh when you crack a joke once, cracking it again and again for the next 15 minutes won’t make it any funnier. And ask me to do either of the two things- Fake laugh at stupid jokes or concentrate on math and accountancy problems.
I can probably go on and on about tutors .. but to just briefly mention some of the other irritating things they do – Praising other students, Asking us to schedule classes more often, Staring at parents when they come back home, getting so disgracefully scared by the poor dog he moans in vain and for having that irritating Bihari accent. Dear tutors, either elope to the Himalyas or stop irritating the crap out of students.
