Lesson Comments
Sophia is abandoning the project we started because her father does not like the mobile salon business idea. We spent the time discussing alternative ideas including the development of a tutor matching service in coordination with the Batt School. She would create the website and scheduling module (Earn a fee for each match) and The Batt School would provide tutors.
