Hi friends.
I hope that you are all very well !
Things are starting to take shape with my tutoring business.
More below the fold:
I started tutoring for Professional Tutors of America - $30 / hr for 8 hours a week. This will continue for the coming year... I have 12 tutoring appointments every week which are recurring from university students. So, both of the above are ongoing for the rest of the semester. In addition, I have tutoring from a school at $20 / hr for 7 hours a week. However, that is only for a couple of weeks. Hopefully, they will need more after this, but they have not said so.
This coming week - my schedule is:
7 appointments on Monday
3 appointments on Tuesday
6 appointments on Wednesday
4 appointments on Thursday
6 appointments on Friday
Now, again, the 5 appointments for the school (7 hours a week) will not continue for very long. The rest of this should be stable. Obviously, this raises the question of what will I do about holidays, end of the semester,... .
Perhaps I can do some temporary work during that time. And my taxes will be higher because I will have to pay payroll taxes. Still, barring anything unforeseen, I expect that this should be stable income. And the business, Lord-willing, should continue to expand and grow.
Unfortunately, however, I will not get paid until the beginning of next month from the Professional Tutors of America as well as the school. And in the meantime, I am faced with losing my internet, my electricity, and my water. I have obviously been living very frugally, but with bills - rent, car insurance, car payment, food, gas... , I have not been able to keep up.
It appears that a good financial situation (income greater than expenses) is emerging. However, that doesn't help me now. I am hopeful that I won't need to ask for help much more.
This has been a horrible situation, extremely grueling emotionally for me. And you all have been there for me as my friends, encouraging me, building me up, and providing for my needs. Thank you so much. If possible, I would really appreciate a boost across the finish line.
I do have a paypal account. You will need my email address which is listed with them in order to donate to me (should you choose to). The email address associated with the paypal account is rp1079@txstate.edu . Of course, I am not a student this semester. So, should you wish to contact me, you can reach me at rp1079@hotmail.com .
Thank you so very much !

The classes I am tutoring are: Calculus 1, Calculus for Life Sciences, Calculus for Business, College Algebra, and Pre Calculus. My abstract algebra person has not set up an appointment. For Professional Tutors of America, I am tutoring a senior in Alg II (and other subjects) and 7th grader (math and other subjects). For the school, I am preparing the student to pass the math taks test to graduate. The student is a second year senior.
