<p>Ok, this might sound really stupid, but I want to ask this can be possible...</p>
<p>I'm a sophomore (rising junior), and the summer is pretty soon. So, I have nothing to do this summer, and I'm planning to do something. One of the things I'm looking for is to get job and save money for college/etc. Although I've never done any working before, I don't know what I want to do. One thing that crossed my mind was to earn money for tutoring the subject I'm good at for someone who's younger than me. But is that really possible? I've never heard of something like this before, and I'm probably asking someone about this like the counselor. I'd just like to know whether this is possible or not. By the way, of course I'm looking for volunteering and taking class at CC, so don't be sorry like this is my last resolution, and feel free to say "No, I've never seen an idiot like you before, why are you living?" (j/k)</p>
<p>yes. it's very possible. The hardest part will be finding clients who need your services. Maybe, you could could connect up with a local tutoring service so you could have access to more clients. Like you said, talking with your counselor could help too.</p>
<p>Wow, thanks young_one! I didn't know something that just came up in my mind was possible! And thanks for the good advice... yeah, I think it might be little hard to find clients.</p>
<p>Tutoring is a nice way to make some extra cash. Try asking some teachers to advertise for you or ask if they already know someone looking for a tutor. One day i told my french tutor that i tutor, and two days later she found me a client.</p>
<p>My old middle schools gives people my name and I tutor all summer. You can really make lots. In New York City, $25 per hour is what we ask, and it's about one-forth of what adults get.</p>
<p>If you have the cash for stamps and envelopes, take out your school directory and send a flyer to as many students as you can. I'm sending mine to the sophomores for SAT tutoring.</p>
<p>If you are very strong in a single subject (usually, high schoolers tend to be this strong in math, if they are so in anything at all), go to a university and audit a class you have already taken, talk to the professor and ask if you can tutor his students. It benefits the students (they pass the class, cuz at least at my local univ. usually 1/3 tend to not pass lower level classes), the professor (his students actually understand what he says), and you (you get money). It's what I do year-round.</p>
<p>wow, thanks for all the tips! $25 is A LOT more than I would've expected... And yeah, I'm strong in math, chemistry, and also Japanese (I was born and raised in Japan), so I might be able to go ask a professor in college or the Japanese teacher at school for getting a client...</p>
<p>Also, how would you set the tutoring style? What would you do with tutoring curriculum? How often do you tutor? And do I have to pay taxes (well, probably this depend a lot on the state you're living though). Thank you all for all the responces!</p>
<p>I tutor them in the same style that the teacher/professor teaches, only I pause more and check for understanding a lot more often (slower, but more sure-fire). Curriculum follows class. I tutor whenever they need it. I don't pay taxes, but I think I might be supposed to, I don't know.</p>
