Oh fuck, I rely on a level tuition as my income

[leafyygreens]

I’m actually fucked, I’ve just found out a levels are cancelled, presumably meaning none of my students will need tuition.

I’m a postgrad student and rely on this money to pay my rent. AGH.

I had already invested considerable time in converting all my classes to being Skype friendly 😬

Cancelled or postponed?

I heard it as cancelled? I am in a bit of a panic so could be wrong. Students will still need to start at uni instead?

Instead should read ‘in September’. Fat fingers !

@pinkyredrose English isn’t my first language, didn’t realise was so obvious 😭😂

Hope you don't teach English!

Fucksake, no need.

So many of us are fucked. I feel your pain. You can still offer the Skype lessons as they’ll need the info with for uni or when they eventually sit the exams.

My job relies on students from outside the UK. Pretty worried right now.

There was nothing on the news about A levels being cancelled.

If schools have closed then people will need even more tuition. Can't you switch to Skype and ask students to email essays etc?

You will be needed to keep them ticking over, more so because of no school.
My eldest was in the fuck up 11+ year this year and we carried on tutoring as did many parents.

Please don’t panic, I think you’ll be ok.

Exams have been cancelled. It is all over the news

The exams are cancelled but they will be at some point.

Won't you be needed even more? Am I missing something?

Can you offer a FaceTime service for wealthy parents that want their kids to keep up while the schools are off?

Exact words are “will not take place as planned in May and June” ..... so it may mean a change to the method of assessing eg essays instead of exams.

BBC and Times not reporting exams cancelled.

They are postponed and will be re-scheduled, not cancelled.

I've found the relevant bit on the BBC website now, rather hidden away. Should be in the main news story!

Advertise your wares!

You can provide online lessons, Skype, etc., to help with all those children at all levels who won't be at school.

Thank you for everyone’s replies.

I was expecting schools to close but exams to continue (so optimistically thought I might be needed even more).

I fear that parents won’t want to pay for a level tuition if their children aren’t actually sitting exams and are going straight to university, particularly as everyone will be financially effected.

I teach physics and chemistry, but maybe alternative assessments will be provided as pp have suggested 🙏

@EvilPea what happened in the 11+ this year?

Surely the little scrotes will still need tutoring especially if they’re a bit thick.

They're postponed, I imagine you'll be in even more demand as parents will want their children to engage in learning whilst off. Tuition will be popular.

Absolutely shocking comment from pinkredrose. How deeply unpleasant.

OP, you may still be in demand. Maybe October/November when resits usually take place. Hang in there, may yet turn out ok. Still early days.
