I made it through the two weeks at Edison Elementary. The last day was just hard. They hired Rosa who has worked at Edison before. She has a BCLAD and a credential in moderate/severe. She spent the day making posters. I missed my students and wish them the best.
I checked out my friend's business - Links Through Learning and was really impressed. It made me pause and think about what I really want in a business. I am using the word "tutor" and need to think if that is all I want to be. I need to remember I can't be all things to all people.
I do want to help seniors with their technology questions. When I was in the Apple store and could hardly hear above the noise of the customers, I felt seniors, especially those who where hearing aids can not hear what someone is telling them.
I would love to work with a group of high functioning autistic students to help them improve their public speaking abilities and social interactions. I would like to work out of my house because it feels like a comfortable environment versus a school or office space.
After running a booth at Love, Peace, Swap, I found many were interested in purchasing my tools of the trade - ie Discovery Toys. So I am also thinking of pursuing that on the side. I called and found someone to work with me.
I think I am good at making learning fun. I like to engage the learner so he or she enjoys what they are doing and then realize they are really learning things. This is the market I think fits me. Now to redesign my website and make flyers.
