Ian, that sounds like a deal! Dump the headaches, keep the fun.
Keith,
I can see how your current situation would be agreeable for a person like you. You get to teach one attentive,
dedicated "student", not whoever comes in the door, and not the same thing, again and again. Having tutored
a couple of young men in math and physics for 4 years, I enjoyed it, but in retrospect, starting over, especially
without the ability to select students, and repeating the same stuff over and over would eventually wear out. I also taught
math for adults at work for 2 years, and truly enjoyed that once the shirkers found out that working was going
to be more fun than my math class where they WOULD be called on to answer questions and where they really
didn't give a darn about math. Once it was down to 6 or 7 students that really wanted to learn more math, it was fun.
