Reflections of a Summer Course Tutor

Geraldine Tuohy - Rahoo Professional tutor for online teacher training courses

Last year was my first Summer working as a Rahooley, (Summer Course Tutor with Rahoo).

It was an experience that I really, really enjoyed.

The Fostering Emotional Resilience and Harmony Course was a super course to be part of and one which steered away from the more traditional Literacy and Numeracy to the more holistic.

I made it a priority to connect with all participants from the get go and there after offering constructive feedback on their work!!

While there was a bit of admin work involved in the role, I really enjoyed the challenge and I look forward to being part of things again in Summer 2020!!!

Tips for completing your summer course successfully:

  1. Try to choose a topic that is of genuine interest to you!!
  2. Also, choose a topic that will be genuinely beneficial to you in your setting for the new school year.
  3. Make the most of the experience, interact with the other participants. I can guarantee, that by engaging with others (participants and tutor), you’ll get a lot more out of it!
  4. Try not to cram modules into too tight a time-frame!!!
  5. Download the notes and take note of links, especially TED talks etc!
  6. Try not to leave things until the last minute!!!
  7. Interact with your tutor, if links etc aren’t working, flag it to them. And don’t be afraid to query anything!!!
  8. Enjoy!
