I have to AW my exciting (very) part-time job news!

babypuplove · February 2010

I tutor for an hour every Monday while MIL or my mom watches DD. I meet the student at the library near my house, and I get paid very well ($60/hour).

I got another lead for two students (siblings) who needed a math tutor. I really only want to tutor on Mondays so I don't have to get MIL or my mom to come over more than once/week. The woman agreed to 90 minutes on Mondays, right after I finish with student #1, so I'm tutoring 2.5 hours every Monday now!

I LOVE teaching math, I'm getting paid more than what I was paid as a teacher, the jobs are close to home, and DD gets to see her grandmother every week. It's a win-win situation. I just had to AW! :-)

Nice! How did you get the first tutor job? I've thought of tutoring math since it was my major (I worked in banking, never used the math) but am not sure how to get the word out since there are a lot of people who want to tutor.

I used to be an elementary teacher, and it's hard to find tutoring jobs as an elementary teacher (although I did usually have one/year). My friend used to teach high school math, and she actually tutors about 10 kids each week. Whenever someone calls her with their elementary/middle school student, she passes them along to me. So I got lucky. :-) You could try posting on CL, but I'm not sure how successful that would be. Good luck!

That is so awesome! I would LOVE to do that! $60/hr? You go girl! I was an elem teacher for 5 years and I have thought about trying to find tutoring opportunities, but just haven't followed through with it.

For the other girls who were asking, a friend of mine does it and she recommended going to the local elem school and talking to the principal and seeing if you couldn't put a flyer up in the teacher's lounge. In Texas, it's more popular when it gets close to TAKS (our state test) time.
