I've been doing well in a few subjects at school, and I'm considering finding an online tutor job to earn some extra money. Does anyone know of platforms or websites that hire high school students for tutoring jobs?
While finding a tutoring job as a high school student might be a bit challenging due to your age, there are still a few platforms that you could consider:
1. Wyzant: An online tutoring platform where you can list your services and set your own rates. The good thing about Wyzant is that it's open to high school students, but competition can be quite high since college students and professionals also use the platform.
2. Care.com: Mostly known for babysitting jobs, but they also offer tutoring opportunities. The typical age minimum is 18, but sometimes you can find listings that are open to younger applicants, especially if you have a strong academic record.
3. The Knowledge Roundtable: This platform allows high school students with a GPA of 3.25 or higher to become tutors in their strongest academic subjects. You'll be able to set your own rates and schedules.
4. Fiverr: Fiverr is a freelance marketplace where you can offer tutoring services. The platform only requires you to be at least 13 years old with parental consent.
It's important to note that many tutoring platforms require tutors to be at least 18 years old, so options for high school students can be more limited. Also, remember to verify the details of these platforms - as some might change their policies over time - before signing up.
Finally, consider reaching out to your local community. Your school, libraries, or community centers might have leads on tutoring opportunities, and neighborhood families might also be interested in hiring a tutor for their younger children.
