 Hello everybody Andrea Terewski here with Gentile Tutoring and in this video I'm just going to talk about myself a little bit which feels kind of funny to me But a lot of you have been sending the emails or just simply asking me so tell me about yourself, you know Who are you? For those of you who have been watching my YouTube videos for a while I've been doing them now for about a year. I think maybe even a year and a half but I just recently started doing them more often I'd say the past couple months or so and For those of you who are watching them, you're probably wondering. Well, who the heck am I right? So I'll try to keep this short and sweet. What time is it? It's 10 o'clock So I will try to keep this in about 10 minutes or so So a little bit about me is I became a dental assistant at age 19 I always knew that I wanted to be in the dental industry and I knew that I wanted to be a dental hygienist But I wanted to be the best Dental hygienist that I could be and I wanted to save up money For school to be a dental hygienist because it's a lot more money to go to school to be a dental hygienist Than it is to be a dental assistant. So after high school, I went and I took dental assisting at a private college It took about 11 months. That's it and I loved it You know, I loved it Plus I took the program because I knew a few people who did take the program because they thought that they wanted to get into Dental but then after taking the dental assisting program, they quickly realized that they just simply didn't like it So it's a good thing that they they Try the dental assisting program first and spent that money then having to go into dental hygiene spend like three Three times as much and then realize that they don't like it So I kind of did it to make sure that I actually liked The dental field too. So I did that and then I started working at age 19 for an amazing office A big office too. There was seven dentists Altogether at one point at that office, but I still knew that I wanted to be a dental hygienist So I took dental hygiene the program in my town. I took that About a year later, maybe even a year and a half and then my program actually shut down about three weeks before I was supposed to graduate. So I was like, oh in fact, I had already had a job lined up for Dental hygiene at the same office and I had to tell them I'm actually not going to graduate because I have to take the program again So I took the program again. I moved to Toronto for 18 months to take the program again And I obviously passed and then I ended up working in that same office I took over a maternity leave for somebody so I was working there for a year and then They decided to keep me on so I was working there for about 10 years So in total about 10 years, which is amazing, right? and then I And I should mention too. I've been tutoring since I was 19 as well not Seriously, you know, like I did it every so often if somebody needed me But I decided to get more serious about it when more students were coming to me because they needed the help So it's been about five years or so that I've been more serious about tutoring And the past year especially because last year actually was that last year? Yes, it was last year where I decided to focus on tutoring full-time Not because I didn't like hygiene not because anything happened. It's just You know your priorities change and I realized that I could work from home tutoring online I could help people Did I mention that I could work from home like that was just a nice thing for me and at the time I was traveling an hour because we had moved I was traveling an hour to go to work and the winter time was just horrible. I didn't like it. I Ended up being late sometimes even though I left early enough There were always accidents on the highway not me. Thankfully not on wood But there were always accidents so I would be stuck behind And it just was not nice, you know to have to deal with all of that stress so I Decided to focus on tutoring full-time because I wanted to help people and more and more students were coming to me asking for help I had about two or three Schools at the time come to me and say can you teach my class to prep them for the board exam? So I'm like, okay So there is something out there where students need tutoring and I could do it full-time Because I was doing it pretty much after work and on weekends So I didn't have any time for my for myself for anybody and I was just simply exhausted So I had to think to myself. Okay, do I want to tutor full-time or do I want to do dental hygiene? Full-time so I weighed out the pros and cons and to make a long story short Tutoring full-time just made the most sense to me So I've been tutoring now full-time for about a year No, about a year and a half now And I love it. So this is kind of my story So now that I'm doing it full-time. I am able to upload more YouTube Videos so then more students are able to see what I do I am able to tutor more students and help students pass which is amazing and I Developed the dental L student program about a year ago now Where I help students still in school? So if they need help with you know tests exams homework assignments projects, you know essays Research I can help them and I love it. I've had so many Students say, you know, thank you so much for just being there for for offering support for doing what you do I just love that. So now I am tutoring full-time. Oh my gosh, I forgot to mention I took the program Restorative hygiene about two years ago. So I am I am also a restorative hygienist And this was before I decided to stay home tutoring full-time because yes I took the program but there's not a lot of jobs out there for it unless you kind of know a dentist who wants to have it, right? So I am glad that I took the program. I do have that skill So when I do work as a dental hygienist, I can ask for more hourly, which is always nice, right? But you know still tutoring is my true passion. I don't plan to go to school anymore I'm done because tutoring is what I want to do so now I work about two days a week in a dental office where I do Dental hygiene for the most part and I do that because I love still working with people I love working with patients plus I spent a lot of money on school So that is still something that I want to do to keep my Skills up right like that is something that I want to do So I work two days a week though. That's it. I love it I tutor full-time as I said and I can't say enough how much I love it on a side note When I first left the office before to tutor full-time I decided well, I have a lot of time on my hand. So what I wanted to do for those of you who have heard of LipSense, so I decided to sell LipSense also because with LipSense everything you sell if you sell enough you can make a 50% commission So it was just something fun that I wanted to do, you know I didn't sign up for it to make a full-time income because I didn't have time to really You know put the hard work in it But I signed up so that I could get the discount because I'm wearing LipSense now And I like love it like this stuff you guys does not come off. See it does not come up Actually, I do have some on my finger because I actually I put some on my hand earlier So yeah, but see it doesn't come off. So, oh, sorry. I just lifted up my mouth finger for you Sorry, um, but yeah, so I decided to sell LipSense after I left the office and Quickly, I realized Everybody wanted LipSense and I started making a really good income from doing that too. So I was like wow so Yeah, like I don't even know how to say it because I was not the one to like direct sales companies because I felt that it was a Scheme in a sense if I can say that, you know, but I just Joined for myself to get the discount and to just kind of sell to friends and family But then before I knew it people were coming to me asking for it because they saw me wear it I would wear it at work And it would not come off on the mask. So patients would ask for it staff would ask For it. So I was just selling to them and I was quickly making more money than I thought was possible like I was making a I Think my first month. I made like two thousand three hundred dollars, which is wow amazing, right? I'm considering. I'm just selling lipstick, right? So, um, so now to make a long story short. Sorry guys I am now helping other dental hygienists and dental assistants who want to make a side income Sell LipSense. So I'm also doing that on the side. See I don't have time to sell it per se So I hire other people to kind of sell it to so I will train you how to sell You know how to sell without sounding like you're selling if that makes sense and how to make a good income from it So if that's something that you are interested in I do that too So I do a little bit of everything if you guys have questions just let me know but okay perfect See so it's 1010. So I talked a little bit about myself. I should mention we had just moved last week So the place is kind of a mess here. So sorry about that But um, yeah, so that's me Andrea Toroski Dental help tutoring since I was 19.
