Curious what people's honest experience has been building a tutoring practice here, either in person around DC or online. I've been doing it on the side for a bit (I have a PhD and some academic background that lends itself well to higher-level subjects) and I'm trying to figure out whether it's realistic to grow it into something steady.

Is there enough consistent demand to make it worth investing time into? Would love to hear from people who've been at it for a while

I've been reading a lot of Woodman's own work lately and I'm curious whether anyone knows of a full biography written about her. I've found interviews and some documentary content on her relationship to jungian analysis but haven't found a true biography.

If nothing exists, I'd also be curious about long-form essays or profiles that go deep on her life and intellectual development. Not just her ideas in the abstract.

Any leads appreciated.

Curious how other tutors handle billing for work that happens outside of a live Wyzant session — things like:

• Reading through and annotating a student's essay before or after a session
• Editing or leaving comments on a presentation or document
• Writing up detailed written feedback asynchronously
• Reviewing homework or problem sets they send over between sessions

I know Wyzant sessions are billed in real time, so obviously that doesn't capture work you do on your own clock. Do you just factor it into your hourly rate and absorb it? Bill separately outside the platform? Ask students to book a session and "work" during it even if it's async? Or do you just not offer it at all?

I’m looking for examples of someone who went through a massive crisis of self that resulted in a radical, almost unrecognizable transformation. I’m particularly interested in minority perspectives. Do any well-known figures come to mind? Someone with enough information out there that I could read/write about their life? Thanks.
