<p>Has anyone actually tried being an online tutor before, or been the recipient of? I'm really interested in tutoring people online over the summer and into the school year (paid and volunteer), but I'm not sure how practical it is, and what kind of demand there is.
I would most likely tutor people in SAT/ACT prep (obviously, their scores have to be lower than mine by a good amount), Essay writing, and aviation (Private Pilot Written).</p>
<p>So, everyone who has done this before, how did it work for you? Did you need to download any special software? How was it finding people to tutor?</p>
<p>I’d be interested in being tutored by you.</p>
<p>I would be interested in this</p>
<p>I also wanted to set up a tutoring “business” (for lack of a better word), but the framework and time needed to independently create it and make it fully online seemed to be too much. There are existing companies that will pay you a mediocre salary to tutor online. </p>
<p>Really? How do you find things that aren’t scams?<br>
I was looking for online tutoring opportunities at the beginning of the summer, but I couldn’t find anything that didn’t seem sketchy (even as a high school graduate, which I assumed would open up more opportunities). </p>
<p>I once took a Quranic class through Skype, so I know that it’s perfectly plausible. I know that in this day and age, a lot of parents and students would find it a lot more convenient to have a tutor teach and communicate using Skype, and page-sharing and all of that cool stuff. </p>
