All summer I had only one student as my customer base. I worked twice a week with him. In one week I now have five more students. I am excited about all the new students. I am working with three students for 7th grade math and one student in pre-calculus. I also want to sub in the local school district. It is a way to see how the material is being taught. I like to make relationships with the teachers to supplement what they are doing in the classroom.
I have joined a few local organizations to make contacts- The Point Loma Assembly and the Point Loma Association. I also attend the La Playa Trail Association meetings. I enjoy learning about the community where I live. I also like to learn. I think I bring the love of learning into to my tutoring business.
I still have not purchased the Woodcock-Johnson general intelligence test because of its $1,600.00 cost. I would like to purchase a portable printer to bring on the road with me at students' houses. My home computers seem to run slower and slower so I need to remember I will have to replace my technology equipment on a regular basis.
I set up a new and separate checking account and credit card account. I hope to keep my records in better order. I paid my business tax online so I am set up for another year. I still have a lot of work to do on my web site. I am enrolled in a technology course through San Diego Unified. This is helping me set up more technology for my business. I have Google+ for Point Loma Tutor as well as a facebook page. I learned how to do a screenshot and sent a lesson to one of my clients when he was away on vacation.
So I am making progress but it still seems slow.
