Now, like any good rocket scientist she's, also starting to plan ahead and says my eyes create systems, create processes etc to where she can reach more people and be more efficient. Now, even so,
even without having let us systems were scale, you can still earn at least. Hours and not on the side just by tutoring. If you have a skill in a specific subject, hear all about all of that in this astronomical low gravity, full throttle story and as a side note speaking, of rocket scientist to give a shot out to my mom patio about she has also and ass an engineer. She has been Ass, an engineer or has worked as a contractor for various government agencies in the aerospace industry or more than thirty years, I believe quite awhile shall be retiring soon and we actually have a site. Hustle idea for her at the family came up with during our recent Christmas visit. So one day, perhaps you ll hear about the Thanksgiving spreadsheet hustle.

born in Brazil but living in border. Since childhood she's been tutoring struggling students in math from the age of fourteen neighbourhood, parents were quick to hire her once they discovered her command of a subject for trigonometry teacher, recognized her talent and ask if he could share her phone number with students were having difficulty soon. Her twittering hustle was earning her a hundred dollars a week as a high school student in college. He kept it up printing flyers imposing them around campus. She even tutored her hair stylist in exchange for free markets, passport a few years, enticed graduated with a degree and aerospace engineering. She secured her dream job as a mechanical operations engineer at NASA Kennedy, space Center should become a first class rocket scientist, spider demanding job. She was still fuelled with an insatiable desire to help others. She kept tutoring the neighbourhood kids, now at a higher rate, because after all, she was a rocket scientist, Ass, she did her tutoring work on the side. He would sometimes film and email a quick how to video to our students to help with their homework. She noticed he was making
same video several times. If a group of students all had the same questions, perhaps others did too so what if she made more videos, she invested in an Ipad per with the apple pencil. This letter record her writing while doing a voice ever explaining her work.

She called it three One tutoring you know like a rocket lodge and she tried to make her lesson spun. In fact, you could say there like reading a book about anti gravity impossible to put down Start up costs were less than a hundred dollars for your website domain and then the Ipad Pro which wasn't cheap. You know it's an apple product costs like a thousand dollars just fifty dollars an hour for middle or high school math and eighty two
we're dollars an hour for S. Eighty or eighty test crap. She recently higher tutors that work under the three two one tutoring umbrella. They keep most of the money which he takes a ten percent cut so far so good, but now she needs to go to the next level putting her lessons on Youtube, Otter, New Youtube, Channel share quick mats, Epson study techniques with students around the world. It's a work in progress. She hoped to have five to eight videos, upload it by the end of February, so she can have an official launch when she's not sitting gets into space. Time says she'd, eventually like to create an online course or other future plans include hiring more tutors, so she can expand her reach to infinity and beyond.

You can always find any episode I mentioned by going to satisfy school dotcom, slash than the number so slash one one one.
