Examiner or not?

[kenhung123]

Is there anyway to tell whether some tutor/teacher is an examiner when they claim so?
There are quite some tutors on the internet that say they are examiners but how can they prove it?

Being an examiner isn't really all that... heaps of teachers are examiners

But I suppose it is somewhat beneficial in English as they know what the examiners are looking for in your essays?

Some teachers mark exams for this reason.. professional development.

examiners - some join text selection commitees
              - they have many many VATE notes
              - they are familiar with who the head is, eg, Glenis/Ross
              - they hate long essays
              - as exam approaches they are often reading textbooks (most of them are like "haiz, i am so busy nowadays")
              - mm what else
              - most examiners are either retired teachers(old) or teach at good private schools. (so you can trace who they are)
              - they have cash + good families (mostly, as far as i can tell)
              - and some of them mark SACs for schools. so often you can see big envelopes on their desk containing SACs by students

after all, the easiest pathway of identifying a tutor is simply ask for proof if you are really desperate, provided that you don't mind being disliked by your tutor and have your class quality affected due to your disrespectful request. mind you, examiners are generally older than you, and not all of them accept students - be respectful.

but to be honest, you could tell from their teaching quality, why all the trouble?

becoming a vce assessor is very easy to do, to be able to mark exams you just apply if you are a teacher and they send you a stack and you get paid per essay you do.

many teachers take on the role as vce assessor at least sometime, it's not too special of a privilege
