I'm Tutoring Again (For Now)

Post Reply New Topic

Well, I aced my last online tutoring job interview, so I guess I'll be doing that until I can get on my own two feet, financially-speaking. My last few tutoring stints haven't been very enjoyable, but I'm not skilled or experienced in many things besides doing math homework. (Higher-level math and applying math in realistic-but-complex situations are beyond me.) I'm also getting counseling to help with finding a more suitable job and boosting my self-esteem; hopefully, something good will come from that.

P.S.: I'm curious about whether or not I personally should leave comments on YouTube, FanFictionDotNet, DeviantArt, Wikipedia, TV Tropes or any other websites that I frequent. I'm concerned about privacy and security issues. I also fear that I'm addicted to these websites because of all the time I've wasted and the sleep I've lost from just being a passive observer. I also might need help balancing play with work. (I should probably also mention that I don’t have any friends and that part of me was hoping I could use these websites - in addition to WrongPlanet - to make my own circle of friends with shared common interests.)

Tutoring hasn't worked out well for me either, Deltaville. There were some pupils with whom I could not connect over the course of several days, either because they did not respect me or because they were so behind on what they needed to know that I would need to spend MUCH more time with them on the material (since there are some adolescents that would not get a lot of studying done on their own). This has led to meltdowns/breakdowns during my sessions. I just hope that I'll manage better with this online company, where I'll mostly be typing, writing, and drawing things for students instead of talking to them.
