Class Experience

This course provides a focused and detailed educational experience for those interested in academic tutoring across a range of subjects, including math, science, English, foreign languages, and music. Through a series of comprehensive video lessons, students will delve into the fundamental techniques and knowledge necessary for effective tutoring in each area. Each segment is supported by real-life case studies from successful academic tutors, illustrating best practices and innovative teaching strategies to engage and support students across various age groups and learning styles. 

Ultimately, I present these side hustles to students in middle and high school for 3 reasons: 
1) The best way to learn about financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and business is to ACTUALLY have a means to make money. 
2) I started dozens of side hustles during my teenage years, and learned alot about my passions, hobbies, interests, etc. and developed positive character traits that still serve me to this day. 
3) These side hustles can be fun and a positive way for students to spend their free time.
