Lots of colleges will give merit money for certain test scores.</p>
<p>This is a brilliant way to make money, but like someone mentioned before, I just feel like I’d be a bad teacher, haha. I got a 2300, yet with minimal studying from the big blue SAT book, so I never know how to really help/explain answers to people. I feel like when I teach people, I teach in the way that makes sense to me, and if people don’t grasp it, I feel like I can only simplify so far. I don’t know. I’ll probably consider doing something like this, but I’d feel terrible accepting money if I didn’t see a significant amount of improvement in their scores from my help.</p>
<p>I’m a Junior and my school has a turoring system that was created by and is currently run entirely by students. A friend of mine currently owns it as sge inherited it from her brother who graduated a few tears ago.</p>
<p>It is so reknown that students from CCs, high schools, and middle schools from even surrounding cities come to us for tutors. </p>
<p>You have to apply to be a tutor, and they basically accept everyone who applies because everyone who applies is in a bunch of AP classes with high GPAs. </p>
<p>My two main subjects that I tutor are Biology (up to college level) and Math (up to Math Analysis/Pre-Calc).</p>
<p>I charge $25/hour and keep $17.50. The rest goes to my manager who is the one that gets all of our clients for us.</p>
<p>Its awesome.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t want to be tutored by a freshman and a great number of upperclassmen would feel the same way.</p>
<p>I peer tutor for free for community service, so I can’t really start charging for it now, but if I have 800s in CR and W but a 620 in M, then do you think people would theoretically hire me just for CR and W? Or do people want someone all-inclusive?
Unfortunately, though, my school has an SAT tutoring class…</p>

Eh, that’s still a higher math score than most people have.</p>
<p>My 8th grade score was 800 M/630 CR/620 W, almost a reverse of Hannah’s. My 10th grade PSAT score was 80 M/71 CR/68 W. </p>
<p>I haven’t tried doing paid tutoring though. It’s an interesting idea.</p>
