Being a tutor for Australian students is more than enough to support yourself.

Zhong is currently studying accounting and finance at Monash University in Australia. When she was a freshman, she won the first place in five campuses of the university and won a scholarship of 6,000 Australian dollars a year. She will graduate from undergraduate course at the end of 20 10, and plans to go to the University of Melbourne for postgraduate study next year.

University study in Australia is very different from that in China. Zhong said, "There are no fixed classes, and there are no class cadres and class teachers. Everyone can choose courses at will every semester, and the time of class is optional. On the first day of each semester, everyone gets up early in order to choose a schedule that suits their own time. "

Ordinary college students choose four courses each semester. In business school, each subject has three hours of classes every week, and two hours is a big class. All the students listen together. There is also an hour of individual guidance, usually 10 or more students attend classes together, do exercises and make comments under the guidance of teaching assistants. Each subject's assessment also has its own characteristics. Some subjects are mid-term exams, accounting for 30% of the total score of this subject, and the final exam only accounts for 70% of this course; Papers or reports are due in some subjects. In short, whether a subject passes or not depends not only on the final exam results, but also on every assessment task throughout the semester. If you fail that subject, the price will be very heavy-repeat next semester, postpone graduation and pay more tuition.

The library can hear the recording of the class.

In Monash University in Australia, the most lively place is the library. "There are computers for students to study online. Each student can use his/her student number to browse the school website and other Internet. There is a recording of the class on the school website. If you don't understand the part in class, you can listen to the recording online, and some tests are also conducted online. Most students like to review their lessons in the library. "

Being a tutor for college students can kill several birds with one stone.

After coming to Australia for half a month, Zhong began to look for a job. "The first job was found on the campus internet to help with children. The salary is very low, 40 Australian dollars for 8 hours. The second job is to work in a fast food restaurant, which is hard and earns 8 Australian dollars per hour. "

Zhong's third job is tutoring college students, and she has a great sense of accomplishment. "Advertise on the campus network to list the scores of subjects she has studied in college, and then students in need will contact me to make an appointment for tutoring. For example, I can teach freshman in my sophomore year; Now that I'm a junior, I can tutor freshmen and sophomores. With the accumulation of experience, I have more and more students. I have received 26 students this semester, and my hourly salary is 20 Australian dollars. "

Now, Zhong doesn't have to work in a restaurant. The money earned by tutoring college students is enough for living expenses. Among her student clients, most of them are Australian local students, and some students from China, South Korea and other Asian countries communicate in English in class. "So by tutoring students, I not only earned living expenses, but also practiced oral English and consolidated my professional knowledge. At the same time, you can make friends with different cultural backgrounds, and you can get more than one thing. "

Buy a used car and experience Australia.

In Australia, Zhong bought a used car with a scholarship to experience the fun of driving in Australia. She said, "Melbourne has plenty of sunshine, so the fruit here is very sweet and crisp;" The water quality here is also very good, you can drink water as soon as you turn on the faucet, and there are faucets on the street for pedestrians to drink; It is worth mentioning that the milk, steak, lobster and abalone here are world-class; The pace of Australians is very slow and leisurely, so the streets are full of people wearing beach pants and slippers, and sometimes the teachers in class will wear casual clothes. "

Studying abroad has made Zhong grow rapidly. "Here, I learned knowledge, realized a different life from my hometown, learned to stand on my own feet, and made friends from all corners of the country."
