44ad for Online Tutoring?

I am an online tutor who engages directly with students - I get payments from their parents directly. I tutor school students for common subjects like English, geography, etc. I do not work for any tutoring agency.

From what I have researched, tutoring does not come under 44AA list of professions. But 17006 code of 44AD covers coaching business. There is also 17007 which covers other education services. So my doubts are currently-

- Can I really file under 44AD?

- If so, is 17006 correct for me or 17007?

I am a single tutor, I don't employ any tutors under me. I also don't have any other source of income (I am not a school teacher).

- Also if in future I have to apply for GST if I cross 20 lakh threshold, will it be possible to do registration and filings by myself? Without help of a CA? I am asking because I believe the nature of my work is very straightforward.

Thank you for your time in adavance
