Tutoring is a good way to make money. But it is so much more than making money alone. Tutoring is formaing relationships with students. It involves helping them to gain confidence, and there is a great sense of job satisfaction when you see your students doing well academically when they put to use the skills you have taught them.
There are few professions as satisfying as tutoring. Unlike teaching, tutoring allows you to work one on one with each individual student. Lasting relationships can be formed with the families of your students, especially when tutoring multiple children in the same family or tutoring the same student over a number of years.
Tutoring also helps the tutor to stay up to date and fresh in their field, which is a great feeling.
But to know that you can make money while helping someone else is really an awesome thing. So many people are dissatisfied with their jobs these days. It's sad to see so much of your life oozing away to something you don't like.
Tutoring is very likeable, and it can be done part-time or full-time. The flexibility is amazing and you get to set your own fees. Don't under-rate yourself. Find out what other local tutors are charging and then pick a rate somewhere in between the highest and the lowest.
Cut-rates in tutoring don't earn you any trust. The fee you charge is an indication of the confidence you have in yourself. And for the parents, it is an indication of how much you can teach their child. So, don't go overboard and charge so high that no one can afford you, and stay well above the rock-bottom prices.
