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.

My First Student with an A

I was so excited today because I met up with Marian for tutoring and she told me she got an A in the test. I felt like taking her paper away and framing it. She then ask," Why don't I tutor Catherine?" I told her that I leave extra work out for her and Jaime tutors her. I just find myself not having enough time for everything and Jaime doesn't mind. I leave him math and reading out for Catherine in a folder.

It was nice to hear one of your students getting an A in her exam when she is used to getting D's.

Olivia's Birthday

My Olivia turned 2 today. We are going to have her party at La Veta Park this Sunday. She is so cute. I love being home to watch every moment of her. She is still not saying any words. Not even a MA! It's heart breaking that she doesn't say my name.

I'm going to have to call the Dr. and get her two year old shots next week.

I'm excited because tutoring is going really well. I enjoy my students and learning. Today, I read a story of Storm Chasers and I found it really interesting.

MOMS-N-More starts tomorrow at my church. This will be the first time I leave Sophia at the church nursery.

Math class was fun today. I got to speak to the professor one on one and she's great. She's a mom about my age and her children are 5 and 7. We were talking about the circumference of a circle.

My Website is Live!

Yuppee!! Today, I finished my Tutor website and I added my Google tutoring calendar for my parents to view my availability.

My availability is limited because on Mondays and Wednesday I take math class at a Rancho Santiago College for personal development.

Also, my three girls make it difficult to always be available. Catherine does soccer, skating, and girl scouts. Olivia has speech therapy and doctor appointments. My mornings and days are pretty much filled up with errands.

I remember when I used to volunteer at an elementary school to tutor and the teacher would give me guidance after each session now I get to make my own curriculum for one of my students. I actually enjoy it!
I do have to mention that today was my second day of cloth diapers and it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. The cloth diapers I use absorb everything. I don't get the messiness with the cheap disposable diapers I use to have. However, I have to change them every three hours because the diapers start to look heavy.

Sunday Night @ Barnes and Noble

I had one hectic day. My car battery dies earlier this morning right before we were going to church.

Then, we had a family outing at Sprouts and bought all our fruits and vegetables. I'm not sure why but our family loves shopping at Sprouts.

This week we are planning Olivia's Birthday Party. She's turning 2. I'm happy because I'm still not sure what were eating but if it's around 20 people then we are probably going to pay for catering. I have to total up the people count tomorrow.

I ended my night at Barnes and Noble tutoring Math. I love tutoring. I can just keep going on and on but then my husband called and reminded me that we had to pick up the van and recharge the battery.
