Last night, I got a call about a job posting on care.com that I responded to..I had my first day of work today! Wow, my FIRST job. And I'm tutoring elementary kids in math..haha. It's a lot harder than I thought though. Algebra, Algebra 2 (maybe), Geo, Trig, and some of Pre-calc I can explain. But..serious basic math? Like long division? Was totally out of my element today because I wasn't prepared either.
At first, today was supposed to be kind of like a interview type thing and know the material but just decided to start today. I work for a self-employed teacher. She used to teach at a private school but then decided to leave and start her own kind of thing at her casa and has been doing it for at least five years. And the kids have been with her since they were in kinder! It's a small group though. So while she's do reading comp with one group, I math tutor the other. My first group has five fifth graders and that's the math that I'm having trouble teaching..T.T The second group has two second graders, and one fourth and second grader. They are sooo adorable. And I hate to say this but..the boys are more advanced than the girls..haha.
The pay isn't amazing but I'll live. I'm pretty excited. hehe.
