Would you let me tutor your kids?

I am 16 years old (year 11) and want to advertise to tutor year 6 students in maths to prepare them for secondary school during the summer holidays. I am planning to tutor a group of 4 for £10 an hour per child.

I have been home schooled throughout secondary school and have self-taught a lot. In year 8 I completed maths GCSE and got an A* grade 3 years early. I've achieved 7 A* grades at GCSE early and am predicted another 3 A*s this year. In january I did my AS level maths one and a half year early and got an A overall (Marks for each module: 99, 93 and 86.)

I have tutored kids aged 5-15 in Arabic since I was 12, so that's 4 years now. I have also tutored a year 8 student in maths for about a year and she recently went up a whole level in one term. My tutees' parents have commented on how well I manage the kids and how patient I am with them. I recently helped my cousin and a friend revise for GCSE Maths and they both commented on how they understand concepts when I explain them better than when the teacher does.

I now want to advertise to the general public but am afraid that people may not want me to tutor their kids due to my age but I believe that being younger is actually an advantage to me because I remember what methods helped me to understand concepts and this reflects in my tutoring.

I would give the students a 15 minute break inbetween. I have been tutored for 2 hours in a go plenty a time but I do agree that you tend to switch off after about an hour so a break would be useful.

Thank you, I understand the point you are making but you really have misunderstood me. I would not charge £40 per child per hour. I said £10 in a small group so 4 kids would pay £40 an hour in total. I also very much appreciate the value of a teaching qualification but believe that it is not always necessary to make a good teacher. My mother works at a private school as head of early years. She has no QTS and no degree and still leads people higher qualified than she is as experience and a natural flair for teaching is more valuable sometimes than all the qualifications in the world. I understand that I may not be as knowledgeable as you are but I do have some clue into how these things work. My mum is a teacher, my dad is a teacher. I have tutored arabic to a large age range of children for the last 4 years and have got lots of positive feedback from the parents. I have also tutored a year 8 girl in mathematics for about a year and she has improved incredibly. She started off lacking confidence, at a level 3C, with a weaker understanding of basic maths principles than my younger brother who is in year 3. She seemed to understand and remember hardly anything taught to her in class and by working closely with her I have helped her to move from the lower set to the middle set and more recently, to jump a full level in just one term. A couple of girls who I helped revise for GCSE maths in the past remarked how they understand the way I exclaimed concepts better than their teachers and my friend prefers my explanations to her tutor's who is a Cambridge university graduate in Mathematics.

Tutoring is something which gives me a sense of deep satisfaction when I see somebody's confidence revived with my help. I believe that my approach is good as I self-taught most of KS3 and KS4 maths so understand exactly how to explain an idea so that the student understands. Therefore I believe I will continue with the tutoring I do already and advertise a little for holiday tuition which I will tutor one-to-one for £15 an hour. This rate undercuts tutoring rates in my area by far and thus I believe it will be suitable.
