What really matters in life is working

My life seems to be back on track once I started my intensive course at the cram school for the exam of Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Later I found a job as a sales assistant, though with meager salary, it is close to my home, and after 47 jobless days I did not really have many choices. Also, via a tutoring agency, I have also got an additional tuturing job.

Compared with other part-time job in restaurant, flyer distributing, or even the starting salaray of my company, the average hour-pay  for tutoring is much more handsome. As an experienced, English-major graduate, one can charge from 400NTD. However, it was kind of difficult for me, as a guy, to find a tutor job when I just finished my military service last September, and it was also very difficult to find a proper job, without business background nor intern experience in any company.

Back to the teaching itself. It's been two years that I have not taught English since I went on exchange in Paris. I was fortunate to be able to teach a junior high school student for one year and a half during 2009 to 2010. Right now I have a in eighth grade student, from a middle class family with caring father who seems to have good education. I use Azar grammar book and a pratical book on tourism in Taiwan. These past few weeks, I taught the conversations in Let's talk in English magazine. It was very helpful for me because I am at the same time learning very useful colloquial English.
