I‘m still an 11th grade student but the last two years I tutored on and off several people from two grades below me to one in the same as myself (although on a past topic). I of course only charge 10€ an hour because I ain’t got no master ;). But as you said, it is really rewarding seeing people get way better grades after. Same with seeing people who got stuck in the mindset that they just can‘t do it or that they are just to dumb realizing that with a good explanation and a bit of additional help, they can suddenly understand way more stuff. Very cool, both in terms of money but mainly seeing people becoming able to succeed!
Great overview. I like how you're really specific about what to say to prospective clients and how to create a pricing structure. Can you teach us how to integrate the use of a tablet for working out problems into a Zoom session? Do you use a regular Android tablet or do you use something made for drawing/drafting like a Wacom or Bamboo? Thanks!
New to your channel and I also started tutoring during lockdown. Yet to see a lot of requests, but I’m going to implement what you’ve said in your video. Thanks :)
I am going to start as a junior project engineer at an engineering’s agency for calculations and design of heat transfer equipment. In the summer it is fulltime and during the CE master it will be 8-16 hours spread over the week, working from home.
I just managed to tutor high school and not university and I charge 20€/h in Italy 30 is a Lot for university. Btw I found that word of mouth is the best way to get students near your place that sometimes actually meet you up in person. most of the people I tutored just needed to study more, they where already understanding the subject but lacking motivation and don’t study enough. They shouldn’t understand that they can do problems alone because after that they drop you
I try to always make it clear with students that I'm just an additional layer of support, I should never be the foundation of their learning. Self study is the best way to improve your math skills, the tutor is the cherry on top! Thanks for sharing your story!
@@shawn.builds I mean on the private tutor, because the course teacher was so bad that we couldn't do anything with it. A private tutor had to teach us everything, from zero.
@@shawn.builds I probably won't be able to try this for a while since I'm in grad school and I think regulations prohibit things like this, but let me tell you I've been thinking about this all day! Got so many ideas for things to try after grad school!
Can you make a video of Chemical engineering in canada (Alberta) and job prospects. I got admit into M.eng Chemical and petroleum engineering in University of Calgary. I would appreciate it if you could make a video...
Thanks so much for this video! It has helped a lot as i am thinking of setting up math tutoring for elementary/high school students. I am a college student looking to make some extra cash. I just have some questions for you. Its been a while since i have done high school math so what should i do to brush up on my skills? How do i learn the current curriculum of current high school math students?(as it often changes slightly in my country) What kind of material should i base my class on? (My own notes? The students math book? Their homework/problems they are having? Current and past exam paper question? Etc) Thanks a lot for taking the time to read this far. A reply would be great! But no worries if you cant.
Its been a while since i have done high school math so what should i do to brush up on my skills? - I usually ask my students to send me some pics of stuff they want to go over 1-2 days in advance so I can have time to prep, since I can't possibly remember every single concept How do i learn the current curriculum of current high school math students?(as it often changes slightly in my country) - just ask them what they're learning! What kind of material should i base my class on? (My own notes? The students math book? Their homework/problems they are having? Current and past exam paper question? Etc) - it's best not to work from their homework problems from an ethical point of view, one way you could do it is to take a problem from their homework and change the numbers to teach them. additionally you could also use your own notes when you've been doing it long enough
i love the ipad but its pretty overpriced for what you need. but then again i also used it for taking notes in school so it was worth it for me. anything where you can write and also be on Zoom is good enough!
Hey. Thank you for the great advice. I am thinking of doing the same, am currently a full time software engineer but don’t know wether to tuition in tuition centre or online after my 9-5 to make at least £25 10-12 hours a week but saw the pay is like £10 an hour at tutoring centres so want want to ask what platforms and what qualifications I need. Could you please give some advice I’d be really grateful. Thank you
Thank you so much for this video,. I've been trying to start online tutoring but it wasn't too successful. Thank you for all the tips!
no problem! these are tips that have helped 2 of my friends as well so i'm sure they'll work for you!

Great video as always Shawn! Spreading the good word out there!
My man!!

good luck! yeah it's hard to get started but once you have a couple clients, or one of your ads pops off then it gets really easy
What side hustles have you started during the pandemic?
None yet, just studying translating along with my MSc 🙃
@@rekal7775 hey, that might become a side hustle one day, you never know ;)
@@shawn.builds that's the plan ^.^

What would you guys do when an entire master's class' passing grade (~20 people) would depend on you? Happened to me sadly, I was one of the students
@@rekal7775 could you further explain? why did the passing grade depend on you?

Lemme know if it works out for you!

Wait so how do you collect money? How do customers pay you? And do you report this income on your taxes ?
I take e transfer so it goes into my bank account. I report it as additional income on my tax return.
