Is becoming a full-time independent tutor in India worth it? Looking for honest advice.
Hi everyone,
I'm thinking about becoming a full-time independent tutor in India in the future and would love to hear from people who have actually done it.
Is it a sustainable long-term career? How did you get your initial students and grow consistently? Do you recommend teaching online, offline, or a combination of both? What are the biggest advantages and disadvantages compared to working in a school? How do you handle irregular income, student dropouts, difficult parents, and vacations? If you left a teaching job to become independent, when did you know it was the right time? And if you were starting from scratch today, what would you do differently?
I'm looking for honest, practical experiences—the good, the bad, and everything in between.
