Everything is not going well.
Suman, a tutor, Bangladesh
Problem:
"Brother, I have been very frustrated for quite some time. I am teaching as a tutor, but things are not going well. Many students do not come to my classes, and those who do pay very little attention. I do not know what I am doing wrong, or what to do. Family pressure has also increased, I have a lot of responsibilities. I feel like I cannot succeed in anything. Can you give me some advice?"

Dear Suman,
I completely understand your situation. Many people do not give importance to the work you are doing, but even then, the fact that you are working with dedication is a great thing. As a tutor, you are playing a very important role, but sometimes the situation becomes such that we cannot get more than the effort that is required.
First of all, you know that some students may have problems in their studies at times. But if you get frustrated there, then your success at work will also stop there. If you know that some students may not come to your class or may not pay attention, then you need to make some changes. If you can explain them better, maybe you can get their attention back.
Also, I understand the pressure from family very well. Family sometimes doesn't make our lives easy, but their expectations push us towards success. Try to talk to them openly. When you can tell them how much you are trying, they may understand and support you more sympathetically.
Thus, the enthusiasm and focus you show towards your work will definitely bring results. However, sometimes it takes time to get results. If you are not seeing any results today, it is never because of your lack of skills or talent. It is just a matter of time. The strength that is within you will make you successful one day.
I have a small suggestion for you—make some changes in your teaching methods. Encourage students to be more creative. Make them feel that they are not just studying for exams, but are building their future through their studies. If you can change their perspective, you will get the focus back, and you will see the success of your work.
Finally, remember Suman, you are not alone. Many people fall into this kind of situation, but if they have patience and faith, they succeed. Be patient and have faith in yourself. With time and effort, your hard work will pay off.
Best wishes,
