Here comes the money

It’s very common among students to try to obtain some extra money apart from what they get from their parents or from a student loan. They usually opt for working part time, but a major group chooses to give private lessons. If one’s good at Maths or Japanese, why they would not use these skills to make some money? Recently, I’ve also started giving lessons to others – Spanish lessons. I used to do it a few years ago but I resigned due to the lack of time. Now I feel more confident about my language skills and I’m willing to start again! However, this time I don’t give lessons via Skype as I used to do. It was so annoying... trying to make a connection using no always perfect WiFi, constantly having to remember my pupils about transfering me the money... I prefer face to face lessons. You can clearly see if someone is interested in what you are saying to them, if they need any further explanation. What is more, they pay in cash, which is the best part. I think this type of “work” is a really good way to improve your skills (in my case, language skills) and see what kind of teacher you are. It’s also a great way to learn patience!
