Where to advertise private tutoring services?

<p>I'm looking to be a private math tutor this summer. I have experience tutoring with a center, but want to branch out so I can make a little more money this summer. I have the qualifications; I just have nowhere to advertise! My local newspaper costs $200 to place an ad, my local grocery store has no bulletin board, and my local library won't post for-profit advertisements on theirs. Also, my parents won't let me post on Craig's List or places like that because they're "dangerous" (though I don't see how it is any more dangerous getting a call from someone you don't know who found out about you online as opposed to someone you don't know who found out about you from a flyer).</p>

<p>CC community - any suggestions? What haven't I thought of?</p>

<p>Craig’s List
If you have references, I would contact a high school guidance counselor and ask them to add you as a potential tutor.</p>

<p>Again, Craig’s List isn’t an option (see my post). Also, high schools are not in session right now, and only a few county schools host summer school, none of which want to sponsor a private tutor over their weird for-profit “extra summer classes” (basically their own tutoring service)</p>

<p>Does your area have some version of the Pennysaver or Patent Trader? The rates to advertise in venues like those are much lower.</p>

<p>Oh, sorry, I did not read the whole post! On Craig’s list I have seen tutors who will only meet you in a library so maybe your folks would be okay with that.</p>
