| Tutoring Jobs For Students | |
|---|---|
| Tutoring work is great for students since it’s very flexible and pays well. It is also more than likely that you already have some sort of specialist area in a particular subject that someone else will pay money to be taught about. It can be a language of which you have a good command - be that English or a foreign language - or you can tutor in many other disciplines such as law, science, geography or maths. People look for tutors for all sorts of reasons - to boost their chances at exams such as the 11+, GCSE’s or A-Levels, to pass entry tests for universities, or simply to expand and improve their knowledge purely for the sake of learning something new. The number of teenagers having extra tuition at home has increased steadily over the last few years, particularly in London, so the tutoring job opportunities are definitely out there to be found. If you have knowledge and you can impart it in an eloquent way, then you have the basic skills needed to be able to make good money as a tutor on a part time basis while you are studying yourself. Traditionally, tutoring jobs have always been on a face to face basis. However, the rise of the internet has brought opportunities for students to work in purely online tutor jobs. In this article, we will be concentrating on the more traditional form of offline tutoring where you will be in the same room as the person you are tutoring. |

Who Can Do Tutoring Work? | |
|---|---|
| One of the great things about working as a tutor is that you can start young. There are typically no age restrictions and as the old saying goes, “if you’re good enough, you’re old enough.” Another thing to note about tutoring work is that you don't necessarily need a teaching qualification or a degree to pick up some decent work. If you have decent GCSE grades then there is tutoring work available (usually with younger children aged 5-14). That said, the more qualifications, knowledge and experience you have, the more opportunities you will be able to find, and the more money you will be able to earn. If you have no experience and would appreciate some help, then Pearson have tutor resources such as delivery and assessment packs to get you started. If you are going to tutor anyone under 18 then you will also need to undergo a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check. |
