Tutors Quotations

I was lucky I went to school in London because the tutors could see what to do. I knew I wanted to do something different. Why would I want to do what other people were already doing, because they would always do it better? I always wanted to work around the body. So throughout my college years, my work was quite free.

I didn't think anything I wrote was going to get published. I'm a dyslexic kid who had tutors through college. But I had a very strong impulse to write.

Message to all you crazed parents desperately hiring tutors and padding your kid's thin resume: Chillax. Attending an elite college is no guarantee of leadership, life success, or earnings potential.

I would encourage parents who are considering private tutors to have the tutor know what is expected in the student's school and to have some sort of informal assessment.

Show, don't tell, is a mantra repeated by tutors of creative writing courses the world over. As advice for amateurs, it is sound and helps avoid character profiling, unactivated scenes, and broken narrative frames.

I am going to get my chance and I am going to be patient. They are my tutors so I am going to learn from them.

Martin Scorsese was being given an honorary doctorate, and one of the tutors asked if there was a student film he particularly liked. He mentioned our film. There was a dinner after the final show just for the tutors, but I was smuggled in to meet Scorsese over dessert.

We've been able to devote more resources to him because of that, but he has not had a particularly privileged upbringing. I was a single parent for most of his life. It's not like he had tutors and parents who could sit around and help him.

Tutors don't just give out answers. They want students to understand how to do the work on their own.

The intent is to put (students) in rigorous curriculum and help them succeed by providing the support n tutors n they need. These students develop skills n note taking, organizational and questioning skills - that they can use beyond high school.

It's hard for me to answer that, because I didn't have anything to do with the class. Jim was told he had to offer a final, but it didn't have an effect on anyone's grade. So his guest lecturer and some of the assistants had fun with it. You can say that was wrong, but it was not anything fraudulent. Fraudulent is when you do somebody else's paper or tutors write them and things like that. That just wasn't the case.
