So You Think You Can Tutor
In our reality TV obsessed culture I find myself wishing there was a show to prove who was the best tutor! I'd love to be a contestant! But this goofy title does raise the important question, who can and can't be a tutor? What is necessary to be a qualified tutor? Can you make money by starting a tutoring business? How and where would you start?
I hear these questions every day and I am here to tell you that while most anyone who is knowledgeable in a subject matter can technically BE a tutor, only a few tutors who have the right mental and business skills will find true success as a tutor.
In our economic times many families are looking to earn an extra $100 dollars a day or a week or a month. Tutoring is an easy way for a mom or dad to work a few extra hours (a day or week) to help out their family as well as help a struggling student! Also it's not like a full time job where you have to leave your house for hours upon hours. You can easily just work a few hours and make a schedule that works with your family's schedule.
When you start a tutoring business it's very important to choose a subject and level that you are qualified to tutor in and then niche yourself. Your marketing and advertising costs should not be costly as long as you use smart marketing and advertising techniques to promote yourself and your tutoring niche in your community. Simple things like making flyers, talking with neighbors and local teachers can get you in the door right away.
The best part about being a tutor is that you can make your own schedule and choose your clients. You get to set your hourly or session wage and determine what you are worth rather than letting a company do this for you! You can choose what subjects you want to teach and where you want to meet! In other words, you will control your own destiny!
Again tutoring doesn't have to be a full time job. You can easily just work a few hours a week or a few hours a day depending on what works for your schedule.
