BBC Radio Shropshire Interview Edd Stockwell

BBC Radio Shropshire Interview Edd Stockwell BBC Radio Shropshire interview Edd Stockwell about private tuition, why parents buy tutoring, how Tutorfair gives free tutoring and Tutorfair's tutor training programmes. If you missed it, then we've transcribed it for you, or if you'd prefer to listen, hit play on the recording below! BBC Reporter Do you remember when you’re little and there might be one subject in particular that you struggled with, and that could mean extra tuition, private tuition. So have your children had any and how effective was it? Apparently people in London are twice as likely to pay for private tuition than the rest of us, but even so the numbers are going up. Edd Stockwell is one of the founders of Tutorfair, it’s a website that helps people find tutors in their area. Good morning, Edd! Edd Stockwell Good morning! BBC Reporter Why do you think there’s such an increase in people booking tutors? Edd Stockwell I think tutoring is the single most effective form of education you can get (one on one tutoring) and I think it’s probably the oldest form of education. I think Aristoteles was probably right several thousand years ago! So everyone has always had private tuition, and I think it has also gone up quite a bit recently in the last ten years. Due to competition for top schools and jobs, it keeps continuing to increase! BBC Reporter Is that what you’re putting it down to? Is not the state of our education system then? Edd Stockwell No, I don’t think so at all! I think our education system is fantastic! Yet every child is different, and everyone misses something at school. So, if parents and teachers can find ways to help kids to fill in the gaps if they've missed anything. All good teachers give tutoring, just after class or a little  one on one time with kids to help them out - I think it’s fantastic thing. BBC Reporter Imagine then that the increase in London is down to the increase in competition and places, would you put it down to that? Edd Stockwell Yes I think it's partly that. I think it's becoming more socially acceptable, tutoring does have a bit of stigma to it. It’s the middle  class buying the advantage, which I think is exactly what the middle class are trying to do. On one level, they're right to do it! It’s a really effective way to help the students to succeed. I think the difficulties start when you've got to that stigma and it becomes unfair, and those who can’t afford to pay can’t have access to such an incredibly powerful form of education, and we really need to look quite carefully at what we could do to help bridge that gap and make a difference. BBC Reporter But don’t you offer tuition to children who can't afford it as well? Edd  Stockwell We do, so we’ve got a one for one promise, so  for every student who pays we give tutoring to  someone who can’t afford it.  So we partner with inner-city schools where they have a high proportion of students on free school meals and then class teachers choose  which students could benefit most. Our tutors then go into  those schools to work with those kids. BBC Reporter I was going to say that it’d be hard to choose wouldn't it? Which ones really do need it? Edd Stockwell Yes, really tough! But I think class teachers really do know their class and their kids... BBC Reporter Yes, Definitely. Edd Stockwell ... so they’re the right people to make that decision I think. BBC Reporter How expensive is it then if you want to pay for private tuition? Edd Stockwell Average costs for a private tutor is about £23 an hour outside of London, rising up to £29 per hour inside London, as an average. But a lot of people want a really experienced tutor which are hard to find, they might be about £40, 50, 60, 70, 80 an hour. I think the most expensive tutor we’ve got on Tutorfair is £200.00 an hour, but he’s an extraordinary man but that's also an extraordinary price. BBC Reporter £200.00 an hour?! Teaching what? Edd  Stockwell Maths and science, but when you speak to clients he's worked with, the quotes that I got from one of them was; ‘Mark can organise a child’s mind for success’ and he’s just one of those magical characters that connects with children and inspires them to want to learn and succeed. I mean, I do not recommend hiring him because he’s ridiculously expensive, but he’s the best of the best! BBC Reporter Wow, it sounds like we could do with cloning him then? Edd Stockwell Yes, that’s brilliant! Solve one problem at a time, but then let’s clone Mark! (Laughs) BBC Reporter (Laughs) What you need to do is to pay him £200 an hour to teach 10 teachers how to do it! Edd Stockwell That is exactly what he’s doing this Saturday! We’ve got one hundred tutors in a room and he’s leading our tutor training and teaching them all the tips that he’s accumulated over his 17 years of private tutoring. We do a lot of tutor training, and it’s really amazing! BBC Reporter And I’m guessing you’ve seen a lot of situations where the children have really benefited from this? Edd Stockwell It’s extraordinary the difference you can make just unlocking, or unblocking really the little thing they don't understand. You can so quickly (if you struggle in one subject) think to yourself ‘Oh, I don't understand maths, I’ll never understand maths!’ BBC Reporter Yes! That was me! (Laughs) Edd Stockwell Yes! (Laughs) ‘I’m not going to try maths!’ and it's not true it's just the panic zone of your learning. As soon as someone explains it to you and makes that little bit make sense, inspires you to want to try and to believe that maths is for you, it’s extraordinary! BBC Reporter Edd, it  has  been lovely to talk to you, thank you so much for coming in this morning. Edd Stockwell Thank you so much! BBC Reporter And good luck with Mark and the tutors this weekend! Edd Stockwell Oh thanks very much! BBC Reporter Brilliant thank you! That’s Edd Stockwell who’s one of the founders of Tutorfair, which is a website that helps people, so if you’re looking to find a tutor in your area.

Tampa, Florida stands for Phosphates, Tobacco, Sunshine and Education

Tampa, Florida stands for Phosphates, Tobacco, Sunshine and Education The city of Tampa, Florida is much more than many people associate with: sunshine, tobacco and hurricanes. Tampa also means phosphate industries, cigar-makers, film, guava fruits and many educational facilities anchored in the fascinating history of Florida. The modern history of Tampa starts with the Spanish explorer Narváez who landed near present-day Tampa. But the expedition was ill-fated and had to be rescued by the Hernando de Soto party. Ruled by Spain for the most part, the United States purchased Florida from Spain in 1821 in order to eliminate the southern refuge for renegade slaves. In the 1880s, Tampa became boom town when phosphate was discovered in the Bone Valley Tampa region. Today Tampas port still ships millions of tons of phosphate annually; the term phosphate capital of the world was coined. Besides phosphate, Tampas other capital of the world label was for tobacco. Nearly 12,000 tabaqueros (cigar-makers) were employed in 200 factories. Ybor City produced an estimated 700 million cigars a year at the industrys peak. Some largely unknown facts about Tampa are worth knowing and quite interesting. Tampa Bay is a popular birding site. The breeding population of the region totals 35,000-45,000 nesting pairs annually at more than 20 sites. Besides its names originating from phosphate and tobacco, Tampa is also known as the Big Guava. Guavas are yellow, pear-shaped tropical fruits found in Tampa. Ybor City guava delicacies include guava jelly, guava paste, guava turnovers and pickled guavas, which are usually displayed in the areas guava cooking contests. The film industry loves sunshine, infrastructure and scenic sites all of which Tampa has a plenty. There is a large number of films (or portions of it) which were shot in Tampa Bay, including China Moon, Cocoon, Edward Scissor hands, Lethal Weapon III, My Girl, Wilder Napalm, Parent Trap II, Once Upon A Time In America, and Oceans 11. Education is another area when Tampa Bay resident can be proud of. For example, Hillsborough High School is one of the Souths oldest high schools. Later, due to the increasing high school population in the Tampa area, a second high school was founded and named after the third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson. A third high school deserves mentioning: Freedom High School in located in New Tampa. It was named in honor of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Tampa high school students can choose from three specialized programs: Technical, Architecture Environmental Design, or Health. These three programs are also indicative of the importance of how to make a living in modern day Tampa. The Tampa Bay area boasts dozens of higher education institutions and universities. Foremost the University of South-Florida, also known as USF, is a member of the State University System of Florida and a public research university. USF is the fourth-largest public university in the state of Florida, with a total enrollment of 47,646 as of the 2012â€"2013 academic year. The University of Tampa (UT) is a private university in Downtown Tampa which recently celebrated its 75th anniversary. UT offers over 150 undergraduate degree options, along with 12 masters degree programs in accounting, finance, business administration, education, marketing, nursing and creative writing. For the seventh year in a row, UT has been named by The Princeton Review as an outstanding business school for its 2013 edition. Going hand-in-hand with the plethora of educational facilities are the many fine tutors of Tampa some of which are found on TutorZ.com, for example, Tampa economics tutors, Tampa History tutors,  Tampa Psychology tutors and Tampa Algebra tutors. While being a major city of the world, one thing though puzzles me about Tampa is a law that unmarried women in Tampa, who parachute on Sundays, may be jailed.  Can anyone explain this curious fact?
