Hello everyone! I'm finally writing a post about tips on how to pass the Tutoring Skills Assessment for RareJob. I'm writing this because I usually receive emails asking for tips and there are times that I get so caught up with school that I wasn't able to email back those people (and I'm very sorry about that!). Other times, some of their emails go to my spam folder. If you do have questions, I suggest you leave me a comment saying that you emailed me or you can ask me directly here as I check my blog more often. And if you have no idea of what I'm talking about, feel free to read this first.
Anyways, here is the list of tips I usually send the people who personally email me. When I was applying for RareJob, I couldn't find any useful tips on the internet. Thus I came up with my own list.
TIPS ON PASSING THE TSA
1. Strictly no dead air
My friend and I tried out for RareJob almost the same time but we didn't know it. He only told me after his TSA. Sadly, he did not make it. The main reason was because there was dead air during the whole lesson. If the student cannot understand or follow, ask him/her or give him/her clues. Be a little humorous (but in place) to avoid dear air. Also be prepared of what your student might say, be ready to catch his response and think ahead.
