Do you remember being in middle or high school sitting in class knowing that you haven't a clue what the teacher is talking about? Or, have you been a parent who has a kid that does not seem to grasp math at all? Or history? Or English? Sometimes it is very hard to help your child because they get defensive, you get frustrated and they shut down.
This is why tutors are such a godsend for many parents and students.
The arguments between kids and their parents over grades can be eliminated.
If you are a person who did well in math, you could easily start a tutoring business from your home.
Even if you only had 10 students whose parents paid $25 to sit with you once per week, that would be $250 extra each week.
That breaks down to about 2 students per day 5 days a week.
This is easily doable for most people.
Parents are more than willing to pay $100 per month to just keep their kids from failing in school.
Or maybe you want to create small groups where you could make even more money.
It could be like your own personal study hall! You have a math group or an English group that meets at your home or a local library room.
Maybe you can charge $20 per student per week and you have an hour long tutoring session where they can all work on their schoolwork while you are there to help.
The options are endless, and you can customize them to suit your students' needs.
Tutoring is also a rewarding experience because you know you are helping a child do better in school and possibly save their relationship with their parents.
Plus, learning all of that material will help keep your own brain young!
