Make Money Tutoring Online

Many people avoid pursuing a tutor because of the travel required, appointment and location logistics setup, and the uncertainty of not know if tutor help is exactly what is needed. There is an alternative type of tutoring service available, which can alleviate some of the above concerns. Online tutoring is becoming a popular trend, and is proving to be very successful. A student can get the same benefits of a personal tutor in the privacy and comfort of their own home via the internet. Below are some steps on how to offer your tutoring services online in order to establish or increase your student customer base as well as promote your tutoring skills.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Computer
  • Access to internet
  1. Step 1

    WyzAnt.com is one of the most popular online tutoring sites. You can search for tutors in your local area with whatever specific subject criteria you are requesting help in. This is a great site for tutors to submit their experience, fees, and availability. You can offer services both in the traditional one-on-one setting, or via the internet through chat and email. Make sure to clearly specify your subject areas as well as any limitations you might have so you attract the appropriate type of students to your services.

  2. Step 2

    LivePerson.com is exactly what it sounds like. You can find experts in almost any subject area and submit questions online to get real time responses. Some people charge per question, others charge per minute. There is a wide range of fee's and services that you can provide. This is also a great site to establish your online presence and advertise your skill set to attract potential students needing assistance. Tutors on this site also have the opportunity to even charge based on the difficulty of questions asked, which means you adjust your fee schedule to compensate you more for those questions that need research or more thought.

  3. Step 3

    Tutor.com is another exceptional tutoring web site. You can sign up to be a tutor in a specific subject, or multiple subjects. You essentially work as an independent contractor, as students are directed to your services via this site and their needs. To join Tutor.com as a tutor, you will have to complete an application and pass an extensive screening process.

  4. Step 4

    As you can see, there are many opportunities to make money online offering your tutoring services to students who need guidance and help. Make sure to accurately represent your subject knowledge areas, fee structures if applicable, and availability and you could open up a whole new income stream in the world of online tutoring.
