Teachers- Is the MTA Summer Conference on your calendar yet?
If part-time jobs and lesson planning for the upcoming school year are starting wear you down, the Massachusetts Teachers Association Summer Conference is just what you need to recharge for the new school year. MTA teachers and members are invited to join New Member Program as part of the Summer Conference in Williamstown, MA from August 5-9, 2012. The New Member Program is specially designed for educators in their first five years of practice.
This is your opportunity to learn about education policy, the people who make the rules in national, state and local education policy, the role of public education unions, and how you can be an active participant in your school community. The New Member Program includes five days of events, networking, housing, and meals for the week at no cost to MTA members. Graduate credit is available, too!
Past New Member Program participants have returned to join us as presenters, have taken on leadership roles in their local districts and share their experiences with fellow new teachers.
Here is what past New Member Program participants have said about their experience:
“I learned so much. I met teachers from across the state and now appreciate how common the challenges teachers face are.” – 2009 participant.
“Terrific opportunity to develop leadership skills I did not know I had. Excited to take on leadership roles in my district next year!” -2002 participant
“I thought my union was just about money and time. I did not know how much the MTA has contributed to shaping the profession for the 21st century.” – 2011 participant
“Conversations with new teachers like me, veteran teachers and MTA leaders made me feel I am part of a powerful profession.” -2005 participant
“Enjoyed learning about local, state and national issues and how teachers’ voices can be heard.” -2010 participant

Massachusetts Teacher Makes over $5,000 Tutoring with My Town Tutors!
My Town Tutors is a website that connects parents with teachers who tutor. We currently list over 250 teachers, mostly from Massachusetts. This summer, we are looking to connect with qualified teachers from all 50 states. Our goal is to register 500 teachers who tutor with our national directory before September 1st, 2012.
It is FREE for parents to search for a teacher in their area.
This blog is an interview with a Hanover High School math teacher who was very busy this school year tutoring. We sat down with her and asked her a few questions about tutoring and the benefits of joining My Town Tutors.
How long have you been tutoring? 18 years
What is your hourly rate? $50
How much did you make this past year? A little over $5,000.
What do you like most about tutoring?
You get to know kids differently. It is easy to focus on their needs. It can be incredibly rewarding when you see them do well. When you have a motivated student, it is really good because you can accomplish so much.
What is the most frustrating part about tutoring?
Students who do not apply themselves in the classroom and see tutoring as the cure for everything. In this case, I am not really tutoring, but rather teaching the student the information for the first time.
It is also very frustrating when students and parents see some short-term progress and then stop coming until the next crisis, such as a poor exam, a low grade on mid-term progress report, or low term grade. The best results occur when I can meet with a student on a consistent, regular basis.
How many clients did you have this past year?
It was the most I ever had, thanks to My Town Tutors. Overall I tutored 12 students, some for 2-3 sessions as a review before a big test. I regularly met with 7 students, who I felt I made a great deal of progress. We developed a great routine and I was able to cater the session to fit their learning style and needs.
How has My Town Tutors affected your student totals?
My Town Tutors has made a significant difference in the amount of students I work with. Although, the majority of my students are referred to me by word of mouth for the past 3 years, I have picked up 2-3 regular clients each year since I joined. This has been great for my bank account, but tough on my schedule.
What do you like most about My Town Tutors?
My Town Tutors has developed a great user-friendly website from both the parent side and the teacher side. My daughter is currently being tutored in Spanish with a teacher I connected with through My Town Tutors.
As a teacher / tutor it is so easy to use. I communicate directly with the parents, so there is no confusion. I also am paid directly by the parents. My Town Tutors does not take a percentage of my fee. I do not have to wait to get paid, I guess the only drawback is the need to go to the bank a few times a month to cash the checks., but I am not complaining!
Do you have any advice for teachers who might be thinking of joining My Town Tutors?
I would definitely recommend that they consider joining. I do not think anyone can argue with the fact that “Teachers are great tutors.” The investment of $12 is such a small fee. You really get great bang for your buck. If you pick up one client, your membership fee will be covered in the first 15 minutes of your tutoring session.
My Town Tutors is such a great resource for parents and teachers that I am sure that once the word gets out, it will be one of the top tutoring resources in each state.
