I put a note in the last post about my ad in the paper offering some one on one tutoring lessons and I got my first call yesterday. I am going to meet the family tomorrow so they can evaluate me before deciding to utilize my untested talents. I am a little nervous about it because I have never done anything like this before and I don't speak any French so I hope the student is pretty far advanced in their studies. I need to meet the student so that we can develop a curriculum suited to his/her level of understanding and cater to their desires. I hope it works out and I get some cash!
Also, I have found another job posting online looking for an instructor to teach prep classes for the SAT, GMAT, and TOEFL (all US college entrance exams). I have talked to them and I am sending in my resume tonight. Only time will tell!
Anyone have any tips to help me with the tutoring? Any advice on what to say at tomorrow's meeting?
So I got another call from a potential student since I made the last post. I met with him today and I earned my first Euros! I'm a partially-working man again. So the 9 months of no money coming in just ended... even if it is just a trickle. Tonight I visit a family to see if they want to use me to tutor their 15 year old son. I hope it works and last night I sent me resume to a company. Getting back on the grind.
