I believe it would help define what the parents, students, and you could expect.<BR/><BR/>For a few years, I taught an state-funded Adult Basic Education class (two three-hour class sessions per week) here in Pocahontas County, and that seemed to give me some credibility. It also got me a substitute teacher's license, which qualified me to teach homebound students, along with the usual substitute duties.<BR/><BR/>I haven't had any luck with private tutoring work--parents have a lot of strange ideas about what it would entail, and expect that someone else--the state, the school--should pay for it. Although I've offered to help people prepare for the GED exam for free, no one has taken me up on it yet. If it's not sanctioned by some official institution, it must not be any good, I guess.<BR/><BR/>I also have taught some college courses to nursing students at a small college's satellite locations. (I taught chemistry and statistics, but I know the ladies also took English, philosophy, and social sciences classes.)<BR/><BR/>I've stumbled on all these opportunities by chance--I couldn't begin to tell you how to search for them. If I knew, I'd be doing it myself.<BR/><BR/>I find myself thinking over ways you could get a free computer and install a free operating system on it, so you could have a backup machine in case the eMac goes on the fritz again. I know not everybody wants advice, but if you do, give me a shout and we could toss around some ideas.Rebecca Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06494730619850791609noreply@blogger.com
