Before you start home tutoring and earn money tutoring students online, you will need to consider few things.
- Plan your strengths: Students need help from tutor’s whichever class she/he is from elementary level to college level and even in higher studies or jobs. So, your first thing to consider is to break down the levels of students you think you can handle more efficiently. Like either you can teach elementary grades better, or you can teach college goers better, or a particular subject you can teach the best, etc.
- Competition needs to be checked: Do research on your own about the other tutors online and also at the same time know about the rates they are charging. Through this research, you will get an idea of the rates, and also you will know the subjects in which you got to have more competitions.
- Get a certificate: A certificate will separate you from the crowd. There are a lot of tuitions online which they run without any certificate, but parents always trust certificates better. If you get National Tutoring Association and American Tutoring Association certificate, you will be more in demand.
- Chose a name: You got to choose a name that focuses on the kind of job you do, and it looks different from others. The name should be unique, so you might have to Google the name and check if it’s already taken away or not.
- For you, it’s a business: Though you will be tutoring students and help them out most of your time but remember that this is a business. You need to do regular bookkeeping, file taxes, also you have to market to keep your business going.
- Space should be nice: Parents before enrolling their children to you would want to know everything about your tutoring service and amongst everything the space from where you will lecture your students is one. So, keep the place well-lighted, which has less disturbance. It should have some stacked books and materials that you use for tutoring. These things and proper as well as clean set up will impress the parents.
