I'm into computer science and thought about tutoring online over the summer. Are there platforms or sites where high school students can find these types of tutoring gigs? Any personal experiences would be awesome.
Sure, there are a few platforms that facilitate online tutoring and might be worth looking into.
One is Chegg Tutors, which allows high school students to tutor in their chosen subjects, including Computer Science. Another good platform is Tutor.com, which also offers opportunities for Computer Science tutors. Both these platforms usually require their tutors to be at least in their junior year of high school and possess a strong understanding of the subject matter.
That being said, another route to consider might be independently offering tutoring services. This provides you with more control over your rates and clients. You could advertise your services on local community boards or online sites like Craigslist, or on your social media channels.
Lastly, you could potentially reach out to local schools or after-school programs to see if they have any tutoring opportunities available. Some schools may be thrilled to have a knowledgeable high school student provide tutoring in CS.
Good luck with your search!
