I understand your embarrassment, but would encourage you to dismiss it altogether. There is NO shame in honest labor, and it is a very reasonable side gig for a teacher . Hold your head up, and continue with your work, and your student will understand the difference between your work in the car and your work at school!Your advantage - you were able to meet your student in a setting other than school!
I work side hustles, and i'm never embarrassed; I like nice stuff and vacations.
Pro
You do what you have to do so you can do what you want to do. Added another side hustle just today. Not big money necessarily, but I realized a few years back that every $75-$100 I make covers a date night with my wife and that is very much worth the time spent working. Secondly, when that kids grows ups and the going gets tough, she will remember the extra work you did. It’s just another way you’re a positive role model.
You should feel proud of what you're doing, show them that you like to make money and be responsible for bills and family. Some kids don't get it, but explain it to them or just tell them I'd rather have this gig than loans..
Rising Star
I do the same thing I'd done every day up to that point.
This experience is nothing new. My mom, who went to school in the 1950s mentioned how her high school teacher worked at his parents Bowling alley in the summer. She never thought any less of him and all her stories were of how he was a great teacher and a kind guy no matter where he worked. As Dr. Angelo said, "they won't remember what you said but they will remember how you made them feel."
Im nearing retirement, so to boost my pension, I've been working at a local state park during the summer. I actually work with students and it allows me to show them that I'm a normal person who isn't afraid of working....
Why would you be embarrassed? You're working to supplement your pay as a teacher. If teachers were paid like other professionals with the same level of education and experience, you wouldn't need a side hussle.
They’ll believe us when we say we are underpaid!
