What do you love most about your job?
I love my students, and I love to see the ah-ha moments as they comprehend a tricky passage in reading, as they use my two basic spelling rules to have their spelling improve magically about 80%, and as the tortured and illogical passage they have been trying to write yields to some basic rules of grammar. I love when they start reporting that they have been promoted to Honors English at school because of my tutoring, and when my PhD students get a pass on the next part of their dissertation, and when my beginning readers become confident to read out loud in school.
What inspired you to start your own business?
A good friend insisted for three years that I needed to be an English Tutor. I insisted no one would hire me because I don’t have a college degree. One Wednesday she had me meet her at a library and showed me how to use Zoom and an app she had found to promote my business. She wrote a profile for me and and we published it. That Friday the company I was working for eliminated my position and let about 60 people go. My immediate boss tried to retain me by offering an alternate job that would pay the same, but I felt the timing was a message from God. I had been given two weeks notice and by the end of that time I had my first student and was an English tutor.
Why should our clients choose you?
I seem to be gifted with an ability to keep children engaged in their lessons. Some of them complain that the hour could not possibly be over yet. Parents marvel at this. My adult students appreciate the shortcuts I have devised for learning vocabulary quickly, my gentle assistance with their pronunciation, and my ability to help with their writing, whether it be a novel, a dissertation, or a presentation for a staff meeting.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I work only online using Zoom. Fortunately I was already doing this job that way before the pandemic, so I was able to continue my work.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Since I have no physical contact with my dustomers, this has not been an issue.
