Looking for online Math IB tutor for 8th grader.

I’m a recent IB graduate and really want to get started with tutoring. I’ve used this summer to get myself onto online platforms like tutoring services and Facebook etc but I’m getting no traction… I don’t know how I can build a customer base if I don’t have the opportunity to even get clients in the first place :(

I'm interested in becoming a homeschool tutor or supplementary teacher for homeschooling families, but I'm not exactly sure where to start looking. I like working for myself and I like working as a private teacher because it's easier to do than classroom teaching. Any ideas on how/where to find clients?

I know that it's a stupid question, but my classmate asked if I can tutor her during the summer. She's vietnamese and wants to speak english more fluently and faster, but I just don't know how and I've been stalling for a whole month now.I would just go to YouTube and give her a video, but that doesn't even count as tutoring, so If there are any tutors out there or any one who tutored someone else on english please tell me how.

i am in need of 5-8k pm, i can tutor all subjects till 10th grade except regional languages, also i have an experience of working in a digital marketing agency so any job under this domain will work too
pls tell me how do i find a job

(ps i cant continue at the previous firm as it was offline, and i need to resume my college)

I'm a middle school/high school computer science tutor, also with a little experience in algebra tutoring.

My business is dropping in computer science. I suspect it's the way families are not convinced CS is good career preparation any more, now that AI can code well.

So I'd like to get more into math, particularly calculus tutoring. Why calculus? I have a good resume from a top-class engineering school (year of graduation was 1991) so that can probably appeal to clients, and also I don't have a teaching degree and I'm not trained in math pedagogy, so it's probably best to avoid younger math grades and students who have basic struggles in math.

I also want to note at this point that I have a chronic illness that affects a number of things. In particular it causes brain fog. I tutor fairly advanced CS (a lot of my young students are working at the college level) and the only way I can stay ahead of my students is that I have decades of experience programming and I'm very facile with code. The brain fog troubles me, but I'm like a bodybuilder with chronic fatigue or something... the mental muscles in coding are very strong from all these years of practice so the brain fog doesn't trouble me too much.

However, I'm very rusty at math. I'm reviewing math right now, and I'm starting with precalculus. It takes me a lot of practice to recall what I used to know in high school and college, and I make a lot of mistakes. In high school I was into competitive math and got a 10 on the AIME in 1987, but boy do I feel a million miles away from that now.

So I took a precalculus tutoring job this summer but I'm not sure it's working out. The main problem is this: when I'm working on a problem with my student, I try to solve it working on my own first, then help him. But I'm pretty slow, and a lot of times he finishes before I do. When he makes a mistake, I can help him find it, so I'm not useless, but I feel like I'm not staying on top of this. I might tell this client they need to find another tutor.

I'm curious for people who tutor calculus: do you have to solve the problem they are given, then help them? Or do you watch them solve it? Or do you just know the solution right away because you've seen so many calculus problems?

I thought of using Wolfram Alpha to solve problems, then helping the student, to prevent me from making mistakes.

I will probably get much sharper at this by the time I want to start calculus tutoring (I'm aiming for fall 2027) but it's difficult, and maybe this isn't realistic.

How would you react if your tutor girlfriend is being likely invested of the concept of his foreign client/student on an online tutoring platform that has a plan on visiting your country and wanting her to be his private tutor and wants her to travel where his client/student is gonna be located and conduct their tutoring sessions there face to face. The client/student will shoulder all the expenses of the travel and accommodation.

I've been always anticipating situation like this.

Am i gonna be a "patrick" on Me before You movie?

Hi guys, Im currently in high school (17yrs old) and I want to start tutoring to help my family's expenses, got any advice?

Any questions/advice would help me on my journey to aid my family so pls, help!

Hi everyone! I recently started working as an online tutor and I’m trying to build my student base.

I registered on URBANPRO hoping to find students, but my experience hasn’t really worked out so far. I reached out to 3 enquiries and all 3 turned out to be tutors themselves who were also looking for students.

I also ended up spending my savings on the platform membership, so right now I don’t really have extra money to invest in more paid platforms or promotions.

So I wanted to ask: apart from UrbanPro, what platforms, groups, websites, or methods have genuinely helped you get students? If anyone has suggestions, resources, or places where I can post my tuition advertisement, please DM me.

Also, if anyone is looking for online tuition or knows someone who is, feel free to DM me :)

can’t disclose exactly which niche but yeah

Hi, I am starting a YouTube channel for teaching coding. And what id like to do is, I’d like to record my screen and then read the question on the screen and then, I’d type in the solution. The problem is that I’d like to make figures/diagrams so as to help viewers to visualise stuff to make them understand better. I am unable to find a solution to do this which is completely free.
For context, I am using a mac, and I have an iPad with Apple Pencil. If there was any way I could say mirror the mac screen onto the iPad and use the Apple Pencil to annotate then it would be super helpful. Thanks.

I’m not sure if it’s arrogance, adolescent overconfidence or disrespect. How would you deal with students who smirk or scoff during lessons? I have a student who thinks he knows better because he watched a YouTube video or heard words from an adult. Although I always welcome questions and encourage inquisitiveness, his smugness is of a concern. It seems that he is more invested in power tripping me than it is about learning. He insists on his own conclusions and scrunches his face / tilts his eyebrows when corrected. He also outright ignores my recommendations. Basically, he has a demeanour like he has nothing more to learn. He ranges slightly above average in terms of grades with some crucial learning gaps to close. I’m tired of him showing me that suspicious face during corrections especially when it comes to his weakest topics. He’s in elementary school. Should I drop him?

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.

I recently heard a fitness instructor who was being interviewed say, "Most people don't really want to work out, but they'll do it because they want to spend an hour with me."

Something really clicked when I heard that. I was like, oh yeah...that's right! It's not just that I'm knowledgable and good at teaching - my students like spending time with me!

I think we undervalue ourselves...it seems too egocentric to even think such a thing, let alone say it. But people do like spending time with you. You're not just a source of information. There are enough fitness Youtube videos out there right now that people should never hire a personal trainer again. And yet, the personal trainer market is actively growing. You won't be replaced by AI because studying is hard, and your students like spending time with you.

Hey everyone,

I started tutoring English privately 2 months ago. So far my students pay lesson by lesson. I charge €30 per lesson for 1 hour.

I'd like to offer packages of 10 or 15 lessons. What would be a good way to price this so students are incentivised to sign up and get a discount?

Any advice is really appreciated as I'm pretty new to all of this.
