I am very excited, because I was hired for 1099 work teaching English to Chinese children, and I just had my first class! An adorable 7 year old girl who was a little shy at first, but opened up and participated in the class. She was a confident speaker and could read well, too.
The company provides all the teaching materials, and it is total immersion, so I don't need to know Chinese. Each class is 25 minutes long.
I had a lot of fun for the first class, I hope I get more bookings. :)
I'm still working at the dental office full time, I just have my teaching slots open for a few hours on the weekend in the morning. If I can do even just five hours of teaching a week, that is an extra $500/mo. My goal is to pay down some debt, save money to have to radiant flooring installed, and save for a trip to Iceland to go on a Game of Thrones tour for Jason's 40th birthday next year.
Here are the pics on my profile:
And since it's 1099 work, all via a Skype-type platform, I am going to write off my internet bill for taxes. :)
