Tutoring?

I REALLY need some cash. I am not some spoiled little brat who is mad because daddy won’t buy her the new designer jeans…NO. Money is tight right now, and I need to have fun. I am only 13 and I feel like I am 40…like I have no childhood. It has been forever since I didn’t spend all day working on my novel, cleaning, or doing homework. I need to get out, and just be a kid for ONCE. I have found a good system to where I have a clear block of time for 2-3 days of the week. I was thinking about tutoring because- not to toot my own horn- I am very smart for my age. I am in 8th grade advanced classes, which is far over the standards for my age. Anyway, can I get the 411 on tutoring? Who could I tutor, how can I start tutoring etc. I would like for this to be my own thing, meaning not getting it done through a teacher, principal, or counselor. My reasons are valid…and I do not feel like getting into it. So for now, let’s just pretend I am home schooled. Any tips would be appreciated.

Answer #1

Thank you! Yeah a novel…been working on it for while now.

Answer #2

If you are able to do this, go for it. Some tutors (when I was in college) asked and got $20/hr. Now I don’t really know the going price. As for getting ways to do this, I don’t believe it can be illegal ‘cause kids shovel snow,mow yards, etc and its not an issue. you could put signs up at the pubiic library and maybe supermarkets. Just put your phone # and what grades you will be tutoring. Working on a novel as well? you are a very motivated young lady, could you come to my house and teach my 13 year old a few things?? Good luck to u,I’m positive you will find a way to make this work!! Good luck to u!!! {=
