The mature student

A few days and no proper blog....sorry my super fans....not that any exist. Well developments – I have my first mature student. They are a foreign student, so it is not really teaching more supporting through essays. I thought that a nature student would be really keen to learn and hardworking....it is not the case! I’m not that surprised because I know how bad I did as a mature student...never wanting to write up essays. This is opening a whole new world up to me as a tutor...the mature market is not anything I had ever considered before, but I find it very satisfying.
Other developments are that I’ve now got a website and I’m linked on goggle maps – but they are very much in the rudimentary stages. I think a website course is definitely needed!

And so it begins....

So my first blog and I have to say that I’m nervous...I don’t know why.  Well I’m just about to embark on a (hopefully) life changing journey from boring 9 to 5, to exciting own business.  I’m a scientist by day and a tutor by night but I’ve found the teaching much more fulfilling.  It drives me in a way no other job has so I’m taking the dive...fish into unknown territory...I’m setting up to go full time.  Now I’ve been tutoring for a long time but there is only so many hours in the day...full potential is not being reached, I’m currently turning students down!

Ok here is the plan

1.       Finish renovating the flat

2.       Leaflet the area

3.       Wait for the phone to ring

This seems a little passive so I’m also contacting schools about after school clubs etc and sending my already loyal students out there to spread the word.  I’m worried if anyone will actually come to my house so I can teach them (I’ve only ever gone to theirs before) but we will see.

I’m sooooo excited can you tell....can’t wait to mind dump all the tales...

Ten four...ten four
