Tutoring on Stats and GRE

I just came back from Barnes and Noble. The hour of Business Statistics went by fast. The topic was on finding data to compute the standard deviation with the mean. It was a good thing that in Excel your able to just plug in data and the answer comes up. I remember back in the old days we actually had to write everything on paper. It was really weird but the girl did homework and this problem paperless. I still use paper on everything I do. I guess it's because in Math we get tested by paper and pencil even in the state teacher exams. I just thought it was funny.

I blew it today by pricing my tutoring service wrong. I thought this lady needed help with her GED but it was for the GRE. Well that's graduate school with trig problems. I charge more for the trig plus it's a higher math the just basic math. I had to call her up and change the price for the next visit. I felt bad but she's a graduate from college and I know tutoring for GRE would be way more than what I charge an hour.

I never thought MBA students and Graduate students would ever call to need my help in math but as I see the problems and exams I can actually do the problems.

I just thought my posting and website would just attract k-12th grade students. Who would have ever thought? I should probably take the GRE just so I can go to graduate school. NOT! I still need to take classes to keep my teaching license.

I ended the night at Walmart shopping for Olivia's Birthday. I bought Catherine her costume and Olivia a small chair for tomorrow's soccer game.
