of tuition and neighbours

and so my 2 students are my neighbours who live 1 storey above me. Their mum baked this lovely cheese and sugar sticks which she offered to me today. How awesome is that. She also makes the healthiest fruit juices. I am so envious thinking about the kind of food their mum cooks for them. The mum told me that she has to prepare at least 5 portions of food for each of them to bring to school because their friends always want a piece of what they have in their lunch boxes.

And so, my colleague asked me to give tuition to one of her ex-students. Primary 4 girl living down the road. English, once a week, an hour and a half each time. $50 an hour. Why not?

Just got back from the second lesson. She's rather easy to teach. And I know how to help her get better grades, thanks to experience. That is a motivation to go and teach.

Conversely, if I have taught the P6 boy almost everything that I know I could teach him, going to give him tuition gets a bit tiresome. I was even bought him a Secondary 1 assessment book for him already. He better get his A* for English. It's up to him now.
