5) enthusiasm in the subject area

The benefits of being a tutor

Now you may be wondering why you would want to tutor - seems like a lot of effort!?

The benefits of being a tutor are as follows:

1) first and foremost the money is quite good. Depending on where you are based and your chosen subject area you could expect to earn anywhere between £20-£40 per hour. Get the right sort of pupil in the right subject area and this could have the potential to earn you up to £200 per hour!

2) Flexibility - being a tutor is wonderfully flexible. You can dictate how many students you would like to tutor, at what educational level, and even the number of hours that you'd like to teach. Of course this is partly dependent on the availability of your pupil as well

3) being a tutor is fun! Sharing your knowledge and helping someone can be really satisfying 

4) finally you can gain a real sense of a achievement, not only when your student does well but also when you see a big improvement in the quality of their work as a result of your efforts

Many people talk about wanting to earn money on the side but don't know where to start. Being a tutor can be tremendously rewarding both monetarily and mentally.

Remember to declare you additional income for tax purposes!
