I tried to find a tutor, but the only one I found was awful. She can't seem to get the hang of it. Her class has over 1000+ people (online- - the only way offered at UCF), and her teacher said she doesn't even want to be bothered with questions or emails. I want her to finish and realize her dream of being an entrepreneur, but this seems to be holding her up. I am looking for any ideas or suggestions- - thanks!

How do you fail an online course? - you read the material, you take the test about the material and you get a passing grade. I'm sorry, but it seems that after the 3rd time, you and your wife would conclude that a) this is not the right niche for her or b) english is not her first language. I hope that neither you or your wife have been trying to do the homework, by asking Y.A. to answer your assignments!

Having a business degree and being an entrepreneur are two completely different things. Things are all nice and pretty in the theoretical world, but in the real world, all the book knowledge does not mean much. If she wants to open a business, go work for a similar business, learn the ins and outs, what to do and not to do, save a bunch of money, and go open a business. On a side note, if she cannot figure out how to pass an online class, then negotiating the laws, regulations, quirks, requirements of any business is going to be a lot more difficult. The only exception would be if she just has some sort of blind spot to what is going on, maybe with calculating derivatives or insurance or something like that. Unlike a class, in business, you mess up, the other side will come and get their money.
