I'm a Computer Science student and I intend to do maths tutoring when I start :smile:
Depends on your skills.
You could:
Get a normal part time job
Tutor
Make websites and sell them

Internships over the summer are well-paid and help with networking, I would definitely recommend, especially for CompScis.

Apart from that you could try web-design or as already stated, tutoring.

I wouldn't look at anything online however. I'd instantly think that's a bit dodgy, especially if it involves crypto or any other 'buzz topics' that you should 'invest in right now!'

That’s awesome. If you don’t mind me asking, How do you find people to tutor?

I will have a part time job! Maybe like 20 hours per week but I was wondering if I can do anything else as a comp sci student cause I’m gonna be learning + I already have some knowledge in that area! Thanks for your suggestions!

Well, I've been lucky to have family friends that wanted tutoring and I was available for a relatively cheap rate (mostly for the experience). When I start CompSci I'll probably post on websites somewhere.

Hi there!!!! Same here!! I didn’t do computer science or any IT related subject for my Pre-uni exams! But don’t worry.... everyone will be on the same boat as us and we’ll learn as we go!! Good Luck!!

blog/vlog about life, CS, uni etc. generate some ad revenue from the eager beavers of the next generation learning about what uni might be like.

or even blog about interesting technical news, maybe write a guide on medium etc
