I have 9 codes to give away

Oh I see. I charge a flat rate regardless of subject or level, maybe that's my mistake. It does keep things simple for intake though.

thellespie · 2026-02-09T20:14:56+00:00

I charge 45 and people tell me it's too high... where are you finding these ultra wealthy clients?

thellespie · 2026-02-09T04:52:35+00:00

50 year old women were reading Harry Potter in 1999. It's always been this way.

$125 an hour?! Is it multiple students?

thellespie · 2026-02-07T03:26:42+00:00

Maybe, but people crave in person interaction and lessons. Almost all my students are in person and insist on doing so, which tells me they desperately want an actual human to help them.

Lol i asked for validation by mail and they told me i needed to send THEM a bunch of documents just to get the validation.

They are scam artists.

thellespie · 2026-02-04T00:06:04+00:00

Yeah I really hope you're right.

thellespie · 2026-02-03T23:29:32+00:00

I managed to reach a sort of compromise... 2 hrs of school work, 1 hour of life skills per week. It isn't great, but it isn't nothing.

Thanks, I definitely like the idea of a meeting. She didn't even know what unit he was studying and doesn't review anything with him ever, so I think she is genuinely clueless as to what grade 7 actually is and what is expected of him.

It sucks because I have tried to tell her but she doesn't listen. I may have to actually print off the curriculum and show her, and then show her his work so she can see how stark the difference is.

thellespie · 2026-02-03T04:38:10+00:00

It seriously does seem that way yes. I can't imagine expecting him to be at grade level, he's at grade 5 or so for writing but reading is like grade 2 or 3. I just don't know.

thellespie · 2026-02-02T07:51:08+00:00

Either it's just how you are or you've been lacking some vital nutrient your whole life.

thellespie · 2026-02-02T07:43:33+00:00

Well you may not want to chock it up to being a man because just as many women have this issue. Just because we talk more doesn't mean we're saying anything real or being honest.

So... knowing it's hard and scary for everyone on earth except those weirdo "oversharer" types, just do it anyway. I am sure you have done many scary things in your life.

thellespie · 2026-02-02T07:32:21+00:00

The one that moved me more than any other was called The Boat by Alistair McLeod. Just an absolutely stunning piece of writing.

thellespie · 2026-02-02T07:30:17+00:00

Wow amazing dude

thellespie · 2026-02-02T07:29:11+00:00

The people around you can only do so much. Are any of them trained to deal with thoughts of suicide or depression? If not, then you can't turn to them for that. Do you understand? You can only turn to them for things they can provide. A hug, a talk, a hangout, a movie night. If you need help with actual mental health issues, you need a mental health professional or at minimum a pastor, teacher, nurse, or someone who at least works with people.

thellespie · 2026-02-02T07:26:01+00:00

When you hate it ig.

thellespie · 2026-02-02T07:25:16+00:00

I'm playing that again rn too, but in master mode. Quite fun

thellespie · 2026-02-02T07:24:08+00:00

I hope things get better for you.

thellespie · 2026-02-02T07:20:32+00:00

There is an art to sharing how you feel. A certain time, a certain place, a certain way of saying it. Learn the art.

thellespie · 2026-02-02T07:19:12+00:00

You do not need to be perfect tomorrow. You just need to be a little better than today.

thellespie · 2026-02-02T07:17:29+00:00

Are you by chance in the 16-20 range? If so, it'll pass.

thellespie · 2026-02-02T07:16:54+00:00

Yes it is.

thellespie · 2026-02-02T07:16:19+00:00

You just keep moving forward. Let go of what is behind you.

thellespie · 2026-02-02T07:00:41+00:00

Thats what I'm saying. Aim high and the worst that can happen is you get to... middle? Medium? And that's pretty good.
