Money, Money, Money… Money By The O’Jays
Whether you have a 9-5 job, a small business or even a stay at home parent. The concern about money is one of the top priorities. Especially now when online bill payments, online banking, you name it you can do everything online, to include tutoring of course. When you own an online business, I would say a majority of the financial transactions are online through PayPal, Intuit, Stripe just to name a few.
Chris Smith wrote on his blog brg.com about a cybersecurity expert had his PayPal account hacked even on a Christmas Eve. Nothing is safe anymore really. Most important is ensuring you update your passwords frequently.
Terri Grigsby an amazing math tutor that I met through The Ultimate Support Group for Online Tutors was just beginning her business and growing at a phenomenal rate. Doing everything needed to get her information out there to help individuals who struggle with math increase their confidence. Here is her story, which can also be found on her site www.tagtutoring.com
On Quora. The question was asked, “Can PayPal accounts get hacked?” Log Dog offers some solutions if, like Terri or the security specialist, gets hacked.
What Should I Do If My PayPal Account Was Hacked
If you are an online tutor there is a Pinterest Group that offers tips shared by some of the top tutors out there.

3 TIPS FOR BETTER READING
“…..because every picture tells a story….”
Did your parent’s ever say, “sound it out” when you struggled on a word? I know I have said that a million times. There are so many different ways you can help your child when they struggle with some of the words while reading. Of course, we all know the five finger trick, right? No? First and foremost when children begin to read and pick out their own books at the library. Going to the library is so cool! First, pick a page then have them read. It doesn’t matter what page it is. If they make five mistakes on one page that book is too hard for them. If they read and only make two maybe three mistakes that is what we call a Just Right Book.
the three tips that can help your child with some of those stubborn words are:
- Just try again. If your child gets stuck have them reread and try again. Then…
- Did it make sense to you? Ask them if that word made sense to them. If you see that the word is completely wrong have them reread and see if it makes sense. For example: if the sentence says, That boy has a green hat on his head. They say the word green as blue have them look at the picture and the word. Ask them again does that make sense?
- Does that sound right? Does it look right? These two suggestions can go together because if you see that the child said blue instead of green ask, Does that look right, Does that sound right? What sound does the letter /b/ make? What sound does the letter /g/ make? Just having the children recognizing the letters and sound differences will help them to remember.

Maybe not so far away…I know that many of you who read my blog have reviewed my website to see what it’s all about. You will find that I also enjoy and work for VIPKID as an ESL teacher.
An amazing, challenging life she has led and many of the words she says brings so much to light. Bless her for helping the children and the teachers who help them via the internet. As a small business owner myself, I can only strive to be a small part of what she has done. Watch and enjoy!

I have enjoyed working with VIPKID for just over the past year. Getting up to see those smiley faces so eager to learn. Some of my students are as young as 4 while others are as old as 11 or 12. They see teachers from America as being funny with many actions. So on goes my headphones and a smile with little extra props and off we go to see the students from a faraway land.
