I'm interested in finding tutoring gigs online while I'm still in high school. Any suggestions on where to look or tips to get started would be super helpful!
There are several online platforms where high school students like you can find tutoring jobs. Here are a couple of options:
1. Tutor.com: This is an online tutoring platform where you can apply to become a tutor in a specific subject area(s). They have a variety of subjects to choose from.
2. Wyzant: This is another popular tutoring platform. Wyzant lets you set your own rates and tutor in subjects you're comfortable with.
3. Care.com: Known mostly for babysitting jobs, Care.com also accommodates tutoring job postings.
Before you start, these tips may help improve your chances of landing a job:
1. Write a compelling bio: Highlight your skills, experience (if any) in tutoring, and your accomplishments in the subject(s) you plan to tutor.
2. Gain some experience locally: If you're new to tutoring, you could start by helping friends, family, or local students. This can provide you with referrals and recommendations.
3. Be patient and persistent: It might take some time to land your first gig, but don't get discouraged. Keep applying and eventually, you'll find a match.
4. Keep your sessions engaging: Once you start tutoring, make sure your sessions are engaging and helpful to maintain positive reviews and get more clients.
Remember, as a high school student, your availability might be limited to after school hours or weekends. Be transparent about this so you can find a match with students whose timings align with yours.
