So basically I have summer holidays from uni and was thinkin of tutorin younger children in maths/science and was just wondering like how do I find people to tutor ...as in how do I advertise it?? I tried online websites but not got any response! Is there any better methods!? Thanks

Local paper's could be good too, I always see ads for tutoring in mine. Also, ask your friends about younger siblings and just try to see if your parents know any one with children who need tutoring

Try First Tutors.

It's free to signup and use.

I do tutoring occasionally for uni linguistics students and my girlfriend gets a new tutee about once a month.

Just remember that the summer months are the quietest to pick up tutees as they (and their parents) aren't worrying about exams and enjoying the sunshine/rain/cold weather.

Thanks! What do you think about going to a local primary /secondary school and giving out flyers to parents?

Ideally, you'd need permission from the school to do that and they are often less than friendly towards personal tutors.

Word of mouth and online advertising is probably your best bet - and of course you can always hand out flyers to friends who can pass them on to their families, who pass them on to their friends etc etc
