tutor effect

when someone becomes attracted to a teacher/tutor because that person appears knowledgeable and impressive to the student.

Dave has been tutoring me in biology recently and he is starting to seem really hot. The tutor effect is making me want to do a practical lesson, if you know what I mean...

tutor effect

Also known as the "sibling spillover effect", this effect describes how an older sibling's academic success or even a specific educational intervention they received positively influences their younger sibling's achievement, often through shared learning, role modeling, and increased academic engagement at home, particularly benefiting younger siblings in reading skills.

Thanks to the "tutor effect", my little brother is acing his reading tests because he sees how hard I study and wants to follow in my footsteps.

PTSD: Post-Tutor Scam Disorder

PTSD: Post-Tutor Scam Disorder — A term first coined by online class help expert, Jim O'Hara, that refers to the phenomenon that occurs whenever a student gets scammed online by someone claiming to be a "tutor," and now suddenly believes that ALL online tutors are scammers. Out of fear of being scammed again, students with "PTSD" force genuinely legitimate online tutors to go through completely arbitrary & convoluted nonsense to try to “prove” the tutor's legitimacy. However, because of the student's "PTSD," no matter how much concrete evidence the tutor provides bolstering their legitimacy, the student is still convinced the genuinely legitimate online tutor is just another scammer.

Jeez, this student that texted me got some serious PTSD: Post-Tutor Scam Disorder! Apparently, some foreign scammer from the Middle East claimed to be an expert in chemistry and tricked her into paying him upfront. Then he blocked her number and never heard from him again. Because of that, this student is making me jump through hoops to try to prove I'm not another scammer. It is complete BS that she's making me go through this nonsense when she totally didn't make that other guy do so before. But it's pointless, no matter how much proof I give her, her PTSD will still make her think I'm a scammer, so what's even the point of humoring her?

couter tutor

It's the use of the padding you put around the bar while squatting weights at your local gym... Most the time its a piece of foam padding, or sometimes it's a towel or shirt.

Pat-"John, let's do some squats."
John-"I can't do them unless I find the pad to go around the bar, otherwise it hurts my shoulders."
Pat-" Are you serious? You need the couter tutor? Your such a pussy!"
