Hey Megan,

I posted ads on a couple of sites including Jer's but never heard from anyone. If your interested I'll make you a batch of cookie dough. I found that I was able to make enough teaching that I never needed it as a backup.

I've also got homemade vanilla extract for sale if your interested. If so I'll need a couple of days to pick up the little bottles, they can sometimes be difficult to find.

Never thought about offering to pick them up, and I've never been asked.

Cheers,
Bonnie

Thanks, I'm glad it worked out for you. but I have to say I am really really mystified on how they teach English here. Can someone explain to me why you have to travel to the students house? That strikes me as a huge waste of time. I've never heard of that before moving here. When we moved to Germany I took group classes at the local school, Chris signed up for private lessons but she had to travel to the academy and then she paid through the nose for the privilege. My sister in law teaches music for young children at her house, she does groups of parents and kids usually 5 to 6 at a time. While she does travel to students houses, it few are far between and she charges thought the nose for the privilege. In teaching kids does it not make sense that they come to the school where you have everything you need to teach, rather than lugging everything on the metro?

From an academies point of view would make more sense for them to offer group classes say twice a week after school AT THE ACADEMY, and if people want private lessons again they come to academy and pay a premium. The way its done now, you have 10 students you need 10 teachers, its a wonder they make any money at all.

Anyways I get off my soap box now.
