Do you have a favorite teacher? We bet you do. Now, is that teacher from your real life or are they fictional? Were they teachers on your favorite show growing up?

Do you have a favorite teacher? We bet you do. Now, is that teacher from your real life or are they fictional? Were they teachers on your favorite show growing up? Did you wish they were really your teachers instead? We bet that’s the case. Unfortunately, we all weren’t blessed with our own personal Mr. Feeny, but boy did we wish that awful middle school English teacher was him instead.
So, which TV teacher are you? Their lessons surely seeped their way into your psyche and have revealed themselves in how you handle as a student, but more importantly, in any situation wherein you have to teach anyone anything. Ever tell someone how to get to your house? We’ll count it, who cares. But, since we all don’t have the temperament to be teachers, we’ve provided you with a few fictional students. Tutor them as best you can – and be honest with yourself! – and we’ll tell you which famed teacher from television you really are, on the inside.
Not all tutors are created equally. What would you say is your field of expertise (if you had to pick one)?
- English
- Foreign language
- Math
- Science
- History
- You said expertise? Hahaha
In general, you do best with these kinds of learners because you're one, too. What's your learning style?
- I’m a visual learner
- I’m an audio learner
- I’m a kinesthetic learner
You have a student who hates the fact that they have a tutor. They're super resentful and disinterested when they show up to work. What do you do?
- Try to make everything as fun as possible
- Find something they like and somehow make the lesson relate to that
- Say that you understand where they’re coming from and trudge ahead with your lesson plan, anyway
- Let them know that you heard them and don’t acknowledge it again
- Tell them to suck it up
You absolutely can't stand it when students...

One of your students is freaking out about a long-term project they procrastinated and their parents are low-key blaming you. What do you do?
- Give your student manageable, smaller tasks to help them feel less stressed
- Stay late and help them finish the project (while collecting overtime)
- Manage their expectations about how good this project will wind up being. Forget about it being good, just get it done!
- Lecture them about time management with a double layer of shaming
- Politely remind them that this was their fault for not communicating this earlier, try not to be mad.
- So, you said they’re blaming me? I’m walking. BYE!
Horror of horrors, one of your newer students farts in the middle of a session. Do something!
- Go, “say excuse me.”
- Ask if they need to use the restroom
- Get offended
- Start wafting the fart cloud away from the two of you
- LAUGH. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
One of your students is clearly upset. They have a major life crisis going on right now. But you're supposed to be working. Now what?
- Stop the lesson to talk to them about it. Listen, support, and give them whatever they need.
- Ask if they want to talk about whatever they feel comfortable sharing. Don’t push it.
- Relate this to a personal experience and hope it makes them feel better
- Pass them a tissue and continue on with the lesson
- Continue the lesson as scheduled. They can learn to deal with their feelings for an hour and wait until you’re done to break down.

One of your students does amazingly well on a standardized test they've been cramming for. Everyone's super happy! You...
- Celebrate with their family!
- Congratulate your student on a job well done
- Keep working with them. Clearly, this is only the beginning!
- Ask for a raise, duh.
When it comes to coordinating your tutoring schedule with a student, you prefer to communicate via...
- Their parents. Professional boundaries are a thing.
- The student themselves. Direct communication is always best, why involve a middleman?
- Your tutoring agency. Let them handle it!
It's not just academic subjects! Tutors frequently teach executive functioning skills. What's one of those skills you excel at imparting on to your students?
- Note taking
- How to study effectively
- Organizational skills
- Multitasking
- Expressing themselves thoughtfully
- Public speaking
If you had to pick, what would you say is your favorite thing about being a tutor?
- Flexibility with my schedule
- Good pay
- Teaching! I genuinely love it
- The personal relationship with each student and helping them grow as people, too.
- I’m good at it.
Last question - how would you rate this quiz?
- I loved it!
- It was pretty okay.
- Not great…
