Tutoring

The college where Abigail is going has a pretty elaborate tutoring system. They recruit smarter students to tutor the ones who need assistance to understand their subjects. So, Abigail signed up to tutor chemistry 1, I think. I know it is chemistry. After checking her grades, her other information she was accepted into the program.

She told them she was available every afternoon except Tuesday, because she id having classes until 8:30 pm. The pay is about $16 per hour and the max hours per week is 15. She was very nervous at the beginning, before her first student, but that is now past history.  This thing started about two weeks ago. While some students are still waiting for their first pupil, Abigail has about 10 students per week. Some are returning, some are first timers.

She actually loves it. She likes teaching and also likes the smell of money. Did not get paid yet, but she is counting the days until her first paycheck. They pay every two weeks so her paychecks should be pretty good. Naturally, plans are already made about what to do with that money and parental advise do not count.

Yesterday, she was also asked by her organic chemistry professor if she would be interested interning in the Summer on a project the professor is working on. Naturally, her first question was for how much! Boy, how they grow up.
