2026 HSC CHAT (9 Viewers)

[.kumori]

People who do tutoring- is it just me or do you get nervous before going to tutoring like before you go into a class? I feel like imma get something wrong or act real stupid or something. Is that everyone or just me overreacting?

I used to feel like that because I used to get anxious in a lot of situations especially when i was younger and wanted to ask questions/for help (growing up, I went to a lot of tutoring classes at a few different tutoring centres), It didn't fit me bc the environment was loud, distracting and was really uncomfortable to sit in. Last yr I joined a smaller local tutoring centre and they usually run tutoring group session of 1-3 people but usually its 1-to-1 and I have found that the tutors there are really supportive and will listen to you regardless if its academics, school life, personal life etc.

It's easily explainable if you feel nervous going to tutoring class if you haven't been there for long and it's a place that your unfamiliar to and just need time to adjust to, but if you've been there for a while maybe the environment isn't the best place suitable for your learning? But also some people just take time to warm up and feel comfortable to ask questions and for help. Maybe through asking more questions to your tutor during class, you'll feel more confident and reassured.

lol maybe this quote will help? idk

Makes sense-
the guy i'm currently going to tutored my brother who absolutely destroyed his HSC (good way) and now he's tutoring me and i'm no where near as smart as my brother so i'm getting confused a lot more. I've had only 2 sessions so i guess i still have to warm up to him-

I've always been afraid to ask questions because teachers especially during primary would get mad when i asked more than 3 in a lesson and would brush me off when i asked and didn't get something straight away because they weren't bothered to explain it to me. So i guess it makes sense

 

[.kumori]

wow they got mad when you asked more than 3 questions in a lesson that's disheartening, the teacher really shouldn't rlly behave like that. Even if its interrupting the class, they could always get back to the students during the breaks or like end of the lesson to explain something. they shouldn't discourage students, especially as a young age when curiosity and active exploration is human nature.

(I know that some primary teachers work hard thou and might not have the time even if they try their best)

I wish all teachers were like my piano teacher. She's really nice but she also gives constructive criticism and tells me exactly how to improve without yelling at u or saying ur shit. I feel like this week has brought up a lot of my past trauma but I’m ok

 

[Study to success]

Omg if I were to continue SAC (prob won’t) I would do my pip on the effect of teachers on the development of children or smth. That would be so interesting. I was originally thinking about doing something about media but teachers would be interesting

[No_Kaeya?!]

[No_Kaeya?!]

I hope you're feeling alright Study2 and we're always here for you.
I dunno about you but i've known my piano teacher for 12 years and there's just something about people who teach piano. Almost like the instrument reflects their personality. Based on what you're piano teacher is like sounds pretty similar to mine - Patient, VERY PATIENT (spesh with me and my love hate relationship with music), caring and respectful no matter what. I could sit for 20 minutes yapping to her about a shit teacher and she'll just listen without interrupting. And only when i'm done we'll continue. I hope everyone's teachers could be like piano teachers. Unfortunately my piano journey is coming to an end in a few months so i hope i find a piece of her in another mentor and the same for you Study2.

Woww that felt real poetic-
Nah but fr tho- piano teachers (most) are amazing- and i hope you process what you're going through well and recover for the upcoming week.

aww ur piano teacher is so sweet. I quit piano a few months ago so I don't see her anymore but yeah they are the best. But I had a friend from primary that had a kinda strict piano teacher and I think even my mum had one too so sadly not all piano teachers are nice but I'm glad we both had good experiences with our piano teachers

Same!

Guys is it just me- but why do i feel like my friends are gatekeeping information and notes- Is it seriously going to be every man for themselves? is that how it normally is?
Not that i rely on my friends but normally we send each other notes and practice papers but now i feel like some of them are very secretive when it comes to study...
Am i being paranoid?

No but fr like dude if I ask someone for notes they won't share most times like my guy calm down. tbh if someone asked me, I would give them notes if I had them.

 

[Study to success]

I mean if I were good friends with that person then I would share but if their just some rando that I’m not to close to and just want to take advantage of me and my notes then I probably wouldn’t share

 

[Study to success]

But it also depends cause if I know my friends haven’t been doing any work and have no notes then I probably wouldn’t share cause I don’t want them to feel like they can just take notes from me whenever they want to and do nothing. But if they just need extra help like I would still give them resources

 

[No_Kaeya?!]

yeah i get what you mean, if its some rando, then no. but say if I know they need to catch up and they are willing to make the effort, 100% will lend them notes.

Maybe try lending a few of ur resources first and then maybe they’ll open up and start sharing some of their stuff
