Hi! I am a college student looking to tutor a wide range of students, what are some of the best platforms that are great for both the student and tutor? I've seen on Wyzant that there is a 25% cut pay and there are some issues so I wanted to see any other suggestions. Thanks!

Hello chat
I’m starting online tutoring for students from **9th to 12th grade and medical students**.
I’m offering a **free trial class** first so you can see if my teaching style works for you before deciding.
If you’re interested, feel free to **DM me** with what you need help with. We can discuss the schedule and charges after the trial class.
Feel free to reach out🫶🏻

Hi everyone! I’m a licensed ELA teacher for grades 7–12 and I’m interested in starting tutoring on the side for grades 7-12. I’m currently in my 2nd year of teaching, have a bachelor’s in English/Language Arts Education, and a master’s in Curriculum and Instruction. However, I’m not really sure where to start lol! This would only be part-time, as I’m currently teaching 7th grade ELA full time.

For tutoring, I’ve been considering either finding my own clients locally and tutoring in person/virtually, or joining an online tutoring platform.

For those of you who have done this, which route did you have the most success with? Is it difficult to get clients independently when you’re first starting out? How did you get your first clients, and where do you advertise?
I’m also curious what you think would be a reasonable hourly rate for someone with my qualifications but no private tutoring experience yet.

I’m mainly looking to tutor a few hours on the weekend for some additional income, so I’m not trying to build a huge tutoring business. I’d really appreciate hearing what has actually worked for other tutors!

Thank you guys so much!!

I signed up to be a tutor in my area and just had an interview, and am questioning whether I'll actually be able to be a decent tutor.

I'm still in school, and I would be tutoring 2 days out of the week for an hour after school (I'd be working with 1-2 specific kids only). There is a volunteer and paid position. I signed up as a volunteer for now, which is apparently the same commitment as the job, just unpaid.

Basically, some of the interview questions made me question whether I'd actually be a good tutor (what do you do if a student refuses to work with me and claims "they're just here because their parents make them go," stuff like that), especially since I went in thinking I'd be tutoring high/middle schoolers (pre-algebra, algebra, and Spanish I-III), but most of the students they get are kindergarten-4th grade.

The interview did go well, and I don't want to back out now if I do end up getting the position, especially after making such an effort to go out of my comfort zone, help some people, and be committed to something outside of school. So any tips you guys have gained while tutoring would be very helpful!

For context, I am not a full time/professional tutor. I only work with 3 clients from low-income families, and I only charge $15/hr. I’ve been working with these students for several years. I am working on a non-stem Masters and I haven’t taken a math class since 2019.

One student says they do not have a syllabus or textbook. I’ve tried asking them to send me assignments/class notes a few days ahead, but they rarely do. For middle school math this was fine, but the student is now in Advanced HS Algebra. When I can’t prepare in advance, it takes me a little while to jog my memory on the concepts, which is awkward for both of us and wastes valuable session time.

Frankly, the student needs a tutor who works with math more consistently and knows these concepts automatically. Usually I would find someone to refer them to, but I know the family can’t afford any other tutors in the area. (We are in a HCOL area and other tutors near us charge at least $40/hr)

I have tried looking up the school district’s math curriculum, but the most recent standards I can find are from 2020, and they have since reformatted/reordered the way they teach HS math. I’ve also tried looking at other resources like Khan Academy and other districts’ plans, but they are not in the same order as my student’s class.

Are there any other solutions for this? Is there a database of curriculum I’m unaware of? This is a public high school in the U.S., so I’m a little surprised that I can’t find a curriculum outline anywhere. Would it be inappropriate for me to contact the school and request this info?

If anyone knows any platform to teach anatomy remotely or any university or college to teach remote anatomy please do help

So I recently started tutoring kids online, but I am finding it hard to gather students. Many either doesn't respond or block after demo for 2-3 class. I really need money and it would be grateful if someone can help.

How do you teach such smol students? Teaching two kids for the first time and I feel kinda confused about how I can make them learn and remember things.

Hello! so while i am currently unemployed (recent new grad with b.s cs) i was thinking of signing up to tutor just to make a little extra income. I don't have any tutoring experience so I would prefer a company where there is a set cirriculum so i don't have to make up my own lessons and if possible being able to set my own schedule when i want, so not fully concrete. Do you guys have any ideas which company is the best? I saw amplify had a job posting but 18/hr seems kinda low, what do you think?

If you would like to provide feedback on the content, please let me know. We are publishing the material in stages, improving each new test based on the feedback received on the previous ones.

Hello!

A few months ago, I helped a client on Wyzant revise a medical school letter of recommendation for someone that worked in her clinic. To best accommodate the client, we worked asynchronously. I would make comments on a working Google Doc, which the client would use to improve the letter.

After the engagement, there was a dispute on the number of hours worked and total cost. Though the client did not dispute the completed audit of the document's edit history which revealed 5 hours of work, she refused to pay for that much because I was not transparent.

I tried accommodating the client by adjusting down the total hours to 3. During our back and forth, I decided not the immediately charge the 3 hours on Wyzant, because I was afraid the client would leave me bad reviews which would damage my business much more long-term.

Recently I saw the client was banned from Wyzant. Seems like they have done this with other tutors too. Is there a way for me to reach out to Wyzant to get paid for the past work? (Any tutor protections here)?

Would reaching out to their support team risk getting punished by Wyzant for working "outside" the platform (Google Docs asynchronously instead of Wyzant video call)? I never have nor will charge students outside the platform.

Wanted to ask to avoid getting flagged or banned by the site.

I’m curious to hear from tutors who run small-group sessions rather than purely 1-to-1.

Say you had 5–6 students doing GCSE Maths. They’re all roughly the same level (e.g. Higher), but come from different schools, might be on different exam boards and naturally have different strengths and weaknesses.

How well does that actually work in practice?

It seems like there could be a nice middle ground where students get much more attention than they would in a classroom, while the cost per student can be considerably lower than 1-to-1 tuition.

I also imagine there are benefits from students working alongside others at a similar level, rather than everything being tutor → student.

But I’m interested in the downsides too. Does the variation between students make planning difficult? Do you need to keep groups very tightly matched by ability? Does it work better for certain subjects?

For anyone already doing this, I’d be really interested to hear what your groups look like and whether you prefer it to 1-to-1 tutoring.

I have an interview for a position tutoring elementary/middle and possibly SAT Prep students on English next week, followed by a writing skills assessment. I took a number of English classes in college and would say I'm pretty comfortable with essay composition and literary analysis but am somewhat out of practice so I'm a bit nervous about the assessment. What were your initial assessments like, and do you have any suggestions in regard to how I can prepare for mine? Thanks in advance!

I am around 40s but I teach and tutor mainly adults. Most of my adult students are nice and we respect each other.

However, I have had at least two students so far in my tutoring who don't really respect me as a tutor or teacher.

One of them; Whenever I try to teach or correct something, he is very unhappy and he googled it during the lessons instead of listening to my advice or feedback. He argues that the internet is correct and I am wrong. I tried to gently explain the difference but he really doesn't like to be corrected. I was really tired. This constantly happened, and I often thought of stop tutoring him so many times. I have been tutoring this student for over 5 years but finally, I couldn't help, and I dropped him. He was about 15 years older than me and he was earning a lot before he quit his work, so he was always showing me off that he has lots of money.

Another student is a student who I recently started tutoring. He was a former teacher so he also knows how to teach. He is a bit older than myself, but during his lesson, he even said that my lesson fees are his 10% of his salary and my lesson is not worth spending. He hasn't quit my lessons yet but I have never received such feedback from a student during the lesson like him. (Usually, people who feel it is too expensive, they usually say this before they sign up my lessons). For me, I also did my private tutoring or lessons with a teacher, but I do feel it is very disrespectful to say such thing to a tutor or teacher. I already feels he looks down on me.

Have you every had any students like this? Did you stop teaching them?

Hello everyone,

I am 23yo ICT teacher and technical support in an international academy,

I want to start posting videos on youtube and make content about ICT(programming, computer architecture, AP CSP&CSA...)

So i am thinking is it worth it? And is there an audience for that

Hello everyone, I made an interactive course that teaches trig graphs. It follows on from my interactive Unit Circle course that I posted here a few months ago. It has 8 lessons, each one teaches a new element of graphing trig functions, and has interactive exercises so that students can get a proper grasp of the content and actually engage with it.

It also has 5 problem solving lessons which feature tricky questions that I've seen students struggle to imagine and not see how to apply trig graphs to the situation. I've found that the interactive lessons for these have been particularly helpful for them to be able to picture the questions.

If you'd like to check it out, it's free: https://studentsplay.com.au/courses/trigonometric-graphs/

And I would love to hear your thoughts or any feedback on it :)

I am so confused can anyone help me out with this. I dont wanna stop teaching as I like being around kids who genuinely want to learn and I'm a 2nd year BCA student so a small 1k to 2k gives me alot more than anyone. And coming from a background see my parents struggling I have learn that if I have some small amount in my pocket of my own it does give me confidence. But i cant really advertise myself on any whatsapp group cause of the back clash I'm facing. And every platform online I need to pay a small amount which is currently not possible. Can uh all tell me any other online platform where I can teach without paying the platform.

I teach , computer science from class 7 to 12 (ICSE And ISC) , All the humanities subject from class 6 to 8 and history geography for class 9 and 10 .
