The Qualified Tutor Podcast

Many are calling for an update to the education system. Few are doing so with as much passion and experience as Dave Harris, Managing Director of Independent Thinking Ltd.

A former headteacher, Dave is an accomplished author and presenter on development, learning and leadership. He speaks to us here as an expert on change management and on rebooting the way we teach children, not just in the UK, but globally.

Along with Nina Jackson, also an Associate at Independent Thinking, Dave will be delivering a keynote at the Love Tutoring Festival 2, on Day 3: Teaching & Learning (Wednesday 26th January), titled 'Wonder and Curiosity in Learning'. Come and find out for yourself how to implement the same in your teaching.

Nudge Education and Qualified Tutor have been partners for a while. But this brings something different, something special. The Love Tutoring Festival 2: Monday 24th - Friday 28th January 2022.

This episode has been released on 23rd December, traditionally a time where business conversations turn to family time and a break from the stresses of the job.

But this conversation is ... JUST. TOO. GOOD.

Julia Silver (Founder of Qualified Tutor) and Diego Melo (CEO of Nudge Education, Lead Sponsors of the Festival) discuss all things LTF2: from the themes of each day, to the atmosphere of the event, to the burning passion that they have for learning (and for allowing others to do the same).

"I want to bring about change and increase diversity in the world of tech". This is the dream of speaker, writer and tech innovator, Carolyn Adagala. Who's with Carolyn?

Carolyn has spent time in a number of top-level positions across several industries, including most notably the automotive industry. Along the way, Carolyn has seen a lot of women be restricted by a sense of overwhelm and self-doubt, what we know now as Imposter Syndrome.

But Carolyn's also felt it herself too. And that's what gives Carolyn that first-hand experience that is so important for everyone, including us educators.

Take your first steps to stepping over and beyond this self-doubt with Carolyn's handy tips here ...

And Carolyn has another project up her sleeve for us educators too - check it out from [21:52].

And finally, thank you to LearnCube for sponsoring this episode and for partnering with us at the Love Tutoring Festival 2, from Monday 24th - Friday 28th January 2022.

"Marketing is so nebulous … that’s why we’ve put handlebars on it with the Get Different philosophy" - the words of someone who truly understands the M-word.

Justin Wise is a marketing expert who does things a little differently.

Alongside Mike Michalowicz ('The Author Guy'), Justin ('The Business Guy') set up The Different Company to show small business leaders that marketing is not some inaccessible discipline limited to big advertising agencies and expensive consultants.

Marketing is everything we do. And yet most people treat it with great suspicion and fear - allow Justin to lead you out of this attitude.

And thank you to The Profs for sponsoring this episode and for partnering as sponsors of Day 2, The Business of Tutoring, at the Love Tutoring Festival 2, taking place on Tuesday 25th January 2022.

It's rare that a conversation as inspiring and ambitious like this lands in your ears. Take it in because Richard Evans will be leading the industry for a long time.

Richard, alongside his brother Leo, founded The Profs back in 2014 to combat the lack of professional tutors in the industry. Ever since, they have led the way in giving tutors a true career out of their craft.

And that's important.

Tutoring as a profession has had to fight to achieve visibility and validity, and with schemes such as the National Tutoring Programme in the UK, slowly but surely, there is recognition that tutors are professionals just as doctors, lawyers and teachers are.

Allow Richard to take your thinking to the next level.

Crystal Weber is the Founder of Crystal Clear ESL, a platform that guides ESL educators through every step of their journey. It's beautiful, you have to check it out.

ESL stands for English as a Second Language. It’s a little like EFL (English as a Foreign Language) except that ESL students are typically already within an English-speaking country and wish to therefore learn the ‘local’ language, which is English.

Crystal has been tutoring online for over 15 years and, as the lockdown hit, immediately spotted a gap in the market for the thousands of ESL educators across the world and so set about filling that gap. In fact, Crystal when much further than simply filling it, she has led hundreds of online educators through their first steps into ESL teaching.

And thank you to Nudge Education for sponsoring this episode and for partnering as Lead Sponsors of the Love Tutoring Festival 2, taking place from Monday 24th - Friday 28th January 2022.
