Need Tutoring? ["MAIN THREAD"] (Triad Project)

[Tiffany]

Tutors of the Moon

Hi, everybody.
So as you may know, our triad (The People from the Dryer) already have a thread going asking for tutors. However, this is the "Main Thread" (where people ask to be tutored). We will be contacting the tutors for you (to ensure tutors don't get over-loaded wih work), so please try not to take things into you own hands. Chances are, complications will arise. We want to keep this process running as smooth as possible. However, if you feel closer to a certain member of the tribe and want to ask if they , specifically, can tutor you, that's fine. Just make sure to put your request in your post on this thread.

Our measurable goal for people being tutored is around 5 people, so please make that possible. We really want to succeed!

[NOTE FOR BOTH TUTORS AND PEOPLE BEING TUTORED: By agreeing to be tutors, members of the moon are not called to be at service 24/7 and The People from the Dryer are not held liable for a tutor "not being online all the time". However, if a tutor isn't online at a time that may have been set between a tutor and a "student," they will look into it with the best of their abilities. If the tutor doesn't have a valid excuse, they may get a second chance or be asked to leave the tutoring program.]

If you want to be a tutor, you can still sign up here.

This project is great, and I really hope to see great results from it. I see a measurable goal, though it seems to be a bit too low. I really can't think of anything I need tutoring with... Learning to write a speech would be kinda cool but I don't want to waste Yokailo's time as I don't really need it. Good luck, though!

[Tiffany]

I'll discuss our measurable goal with the others again, later. We knew that we didn't have much time, so we weren't really sure about things.

[Johncoyne]

You don't have to change it, as it seems that you'll definitely reach it. There's nothing wrong with that. However, “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.”

[Tiffany]

Haha. That quote is on my wall. It's just that if we don't reach our goal in the amount of time, won't our triad fail? We really didn't want that to happen >_<

[chelseeyuh]

I'm so glad you guys proved me wrong
I think 5 is a perfectly acceptable measurable goal. To be honest, I'd be content if you had said that you would get X amount of tutors, and not actually have anyone tutored by the deadline. It may be difficult to know who's being tutored, since the list is public and people could just contact the person without you guys knowing about it. But this is great and I can't wait to see it up and running.

[Johncoyne]

Nah, the triad wouldn't fail. The Project Managers project didn't reach their goal last round but they still passed.

I think it's fine if people try contacting the tutors on their own, but I only added the other part to try and have the least amount of confusion possible.

And I can't wait to have everything working properly. All we need is people to get tutored now

[Johncoyne]

You could tell the tutors to not tutor anyone unless they make themselves known to your triad. That could make things a bit better.

That's a good idea. I think we'll see how things run for now and if need be, we'll implement that. I'll discuss it with the others first, though.

[Johncoyne]

Okey doke. I don't think that it's much of a problem, but see how it plays out.

[amethyst11ln]

I forgot that I can also help with Latin, especially beginners

I can help you any time, but I'm not a person to actually have the theory ready.. It's more that I know what a speech should look like and if you send me a basic idea I can help you out quite a bit. ^^'
I could send you an entire story, but I doubt that would work in practice, and most of speeching is actually doing it

Btw, kudos to the good organization, this list looks pretty impressive. ^^

[ifyouwantblood]

Im also good at writing stories! So i can look at your stories and let you know what to change and stuff.=D

[kernoll]

I created wiki (southpoleofthemoon.com/wiki/index.php?title=Tutors_of_the_Moon) of the project, so if anyone of Tutors have wiki page you can go there and edit your nickname to create link to your wiki page.

Same for me too!!

[kernoll]

According to List of skills these people should be able to help you with Japanese: nakor, kernoll, frcepeda.
My Japanese level is not that high that i would be able to teach somebody and nekor and frcepeda are not official tutors but you can contact them. Maybe the will help you.
