becoming a tutor!

i did tutoring and i charged from £5 to £10 an hour according to the subject and the level. I did KS3 which was only £5 an hour and i did GCSE £10 for maths/science only. I could range to other subjects like history, geography and DT but i would have to do a bit of extra reading to do so. The reason why my price were so low was because i was a Y11 student at that time and so people just had my previous grades to judge my knowledge on. It was successful and i had made good amount of cash but i stopped after a few months as i found it was interfering with my own studies.

i would say that as your a GCSE student ur pricing must be low and you should make sure u knw wot ur talking about INSIDE AND OUT! it can b very awkward if i child asks you a question which is actually simple but you haven't come across yet. Good luck

Where/How is it best to advertise for tutoring in your local area?

Word of mouth was my best tool but i was able to advertise it in school as well (need to get permission tho). If you are looking for some kids in ur area apposed to your school then i would recommend a news agent, if you know a family with children then maybe just drop a leaflet or some info in there mail box. But i have found that if you help one person and ask them to spread the word, more people will more likely follow.

hi i am 14 years old (nearly 15) and doing my GCSEs! i get good grades and need a bit of extra cash! (mum and dad are fed up of "lending" me money!) so i am planning to become a tutor! i need some extra info on this so just like how to advertise and how to price it and so on! any help would be brilliant! i want to tutor in maths and science to anyone under 12 i want to do it to mainly people i know!

So you were tutoring GCSE students without having completed any GCSEs yourself?

i was in year 11 tutoring gcse y10 work and ks3 ... the only gcse subject i actually taught was science (bio)... ks3 was mainly what i taught.
