Looking for advice on starting online tutoring as a 15 year old
Hello everyone! I’m 15 years old and currently a high school student. I’m interested in starting tutoring as a way to earn some money while also helping younger students. I’d like to tutor children under 10, since I feel more confident teaching kids that age. I’m mainly interested in English, reading comprehension, and literature, although I may also be able to help with subjects like science, history, and basic math. I don’t have formal tutoring experience yet tho. Most of my family and friends don’t really seek tutoring, but I do often help my classmates study and explain things when they need help. I’m not an honor student because of how math brings my grades down, but I consistently do well in subjects such as English, science, and civics/history. I’d really like to explore online tutoring, including potentially tutoring international students, but I’m finding it difficult to figure out where someone my age can legitimately find students and how to get started even locally. And also i have some questions for young and/or online tutors here!! How did you find your first students? Are there any legitimate platforms or communities you’d recommend? Is it realistic to find international students as a minor? What would be a reasonable beginner rate? And lastly, what should I prepare before taking my first student?
Any tips or advice would be really appreciated. Thank you! :)
