1940s 20 year old 'Flapper' women would have 'no quarter'

They knew their mums became imbeciles in the eyes of the law when they married.

New email, lots of @WASPI_campaign documents to complete hoping for a success with Parliament and transitional finacial arrangements for Pensions £12k due to date.

loobyloo.waspi12k@planetmail.com

New documents to complete (& theres lots) no chance of any interim pension.

42 years NI paid from working.

Also NHS low pay forms for health and dentistry, WTC, hb and ctax, discounts for utilities forms, reduce payments forms.

With the pension orriginally promised at age 60, these forms would not be needed but we arent giving up and this small business can be successful.

Accounts information for QAAConfidence & QAAWyrd Tuition, bank statement reconciling, invoicing

This owing pensions to folk born in the 1950s is no joke and potentialy anti sex discrimination by way of no communication about the changes, plus we had the '75 Discrimination Act and the pill… seems like mysogeny in a prestbytering format - the plan to just boost the mens pension 'pot'.

Repetitive Strain Injury and timescales

http://qaawyrd-repetitive-strain-injury.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1

Android tap-tapping takes longer but is sometimes easier on the hands and back. A choice of Android or pc however makes a big improvement.

Thanks to the 3Network, online business becomes possible as long as bband speeds and availability holds up.

Working on the online and group tuition potential

Can we afford acceptable Ergonomics at home? Whats the potential result or 'balance'

six weeks sch break time for teachers to think theories..num 1 mistake calling 6wk break 'Holidays' it should be 'Working at home weeks' Industry generally have just 2 weeks for Summer Holidays (perception gaps!)

added bbc media and itv apps, #WASPI_Campaign too - £11500.00 owed on 42 yrs NI and counting

apps should be good for efl as i tend not to watch the telly most folk do, i can direct EFL students to sport and possibly local news which should be easier language wise. Definitely not for soaps.

The #WASPI_Campaign is really important, I should have received £11500 in pension payments to now.

Onwards etc, build the tuition business.

Internet speed and working

The fastest time used to be 3am to 7am but lately that isnt so, today 5.30am to 11.30am has been ok, but that cant be tested again until Thurs as the bband provider is working on maintenance tomorrow.

Bureaucracy takes its toll on planning

say no more but its putting plans back.

Backups and new sim with tethering to use the pc to update resources

All setup and working, quite a stressful change but one thats been planned. Now exam season is completed theres time to reflect evolve and begin the EFL to keep English skills for students.

All take time and planning and resources plus admin to keep on track to ensure tuition is all year round.

Post from 10-07-17 that went to Draft, internet bband probs… ...reviewing new potential online profile pages, checking carefully as id and quals are required

https://www.thetutorpages.com/about-the-tutor-pages

thehomeschooldirectory

one i have used a few years ago (but the web address name is misleading for supplementing lea school students)

homeschooltutoring

possible link up with the tutors association (fees and return info)

specific esl online tuition sites, the British Council is a good start point.

Its necessary to avoid the online agencies who ask for commission on every tuition hour unless they are local.

Useful insights below (altered slightly for privacy reasons)

I find the LEA 'moving supply and contract staff on' bureaucratic paperwork onslaught just after exam time is really stressful just as it all looks bleak for the summertime. The renewal paperwork, at a time when landlords are moving students on until next September or final uni students moved on all together or prevented from staying locally is not something established Tutors should be caught up in. Its inevitable however that we are.

The online agencies could help by having a 'how many years tutoring in this area' information.

Exam time is so stressful and when Specifications are changing its even more so.

The insightful quote:-

"I tutor full time. GCSE science. I've been doing it for years now. Coming in to the exam season I find I tutor about 30 to 35 hours a week. The last exams are today and I am absolutely shattered. Banking as much money as I can in my busy couple of months and take the summer off is not how it goes. My house is a mess, my freezer empty, my children wild. If I am to be super-professional and organised in September, I've a lot to do. I also sort out my lesson bank, make sure my past papers are in order, do my accounts, and briefly become a lady wot lunches until my own children break up from school

Remembering i tried to work for a small college (v risky place) and KipMcGrath

The KipMcGrath setup in Derby was impressive it was just an interview

Tuition 'Strand'

Pleased i did not opt for actual lesson resource making as a sole trader now Specifications and Education focus has cchanged twice since 2008.

The tuition has improved with online booking but is still seasonal and isnt a week or month by month income over 12 months.

Maybe for next year i can organise worshops in the Easter and Exam breaks. This will need vat registration.

Otherwise just keeping up with textbook changes and buying and travel to tutees stretches a limited income but its not possible to work without either,

Enquiries are converting but lots of single lessons

When the online info is 8 or more lessons, the specification is checked resources found travel exp paid sometimes even textbooks purchased, its not cool for the same enquirer to only really want one tuition lesson. This happens too often and can mean more realistic and sensible real potential students are not having the best pick of times for tuition. To do that single lesson situation at half term is almost unforgivable, luckily there are more responsible and ok people who do want tuition.

The Internet Works Better At Night Again

All you can eat data on the Android, lots hassles on the old laptop with antivirus progs stopping the ph synching, sigh
Kindle app downloaded AGAIN its always the first to go for space on the ph, sigh
A proper daylight sunshiny day and no datatime hassles would be good.

Stats from Tutorhunt

Stats, December had lots enquiries too, or more detailed enquiries and hopefully these are now beginning to bring work. Plus one quite awful timewasting trip, there is always a possibility an enquiry is not genuine but not often it reaches the first lesson. Some people genuinely just want a single lesson and dont realise tuition should last for four lessons minimum ie one month.

There are online courses where students just need an introduction to how to study but checking the Specification and dates can highlight if the online course is ok.
