Thanksgiving

Just a few days ago, I considered takin up one tuition assignment to help build some funds just in case there's a need of any. But the thought of the 50% commission taken away in the first month is deterring. I wasn't very active seeking too because time is so much more precious for me than money. 

When I met an old friend,  I casually suggested to him my intention and he revealed that he is actually running a tuition agency with another partner, he told me that I only need to pay 1/4 month commission to his partner, that I can keep the other quarter for myself. Sounds better than 50% so he started to source for students for me. Just yesterday, he told me that he found one at cck and told me to call the mum. I wasn't very excited at all because I don't fit the profile of the kid.  Today, he told me I don't have to call her anymore because the mum only wants to pay 50 an hour and is looking for someone who has experience teaching secondary 1 English and who can handle her autistic daughter. I was just telling him. Maybe God thinks I shouldn't take up any assignment. 

Just one hour later, I received a call from my ex-tuition student's mum asking me to teach her girl again. I stopped because I was starting my masters programme a year ago. She said the tutor after me couldn't really teach well though she was supposedly an experienced teacher. And her daughter actually hinted very strongly to get me back. Twice a week, an hour and a half each session sounds manageable. Also 50 an hour but with no commission charged. Plus the girl is really easy to teach. told her no promises after the June hols because of my schedule but she actually asked me to try once a week if possible. We will see how things are.  Thankful for just small signs like that (that immediate call after my friend said to forget about the secondary one kid).
