Tutoring

[Cortina]

Just saying on previous thread that I notice Tinies have branched out into tutors.

You have to have either teaching experience or a 2:1 to work for them. Perhaps I should give it a go in a new career move?

I am seeing a HUGE increase in demand for tutors. It's one of those things no one mentioned but many do, at least where I live. A bit like botox...

That should read, no one mentions...

Why not Cortina. The going rate my way is £20 per hour for 11 plus tuition and £25 secondary school students. Hours to suit you. I think aout 60% of my daughters year 6 class were having tuition.

I assumed I might have to be, ahem, a teacher?

I guess you could arm yourself with all the relevant information etc? I think it's interesting there suddenly seems to be such a surge in demand.

Not a teacher then? Try Kumon maths, I don't think they are qualified or ahem fussy.

Thing is Sue, you don't appear to need to have teaching experience if you sign up with an agency. Tinies will take you if you have a 2:1.

I've noticed a HUGE surge in demand for tutors recently.

I'm incredibly busy (primary Maths and English). I try to keep the tutoring to a few evenings a week or it takes over my entire life but I'm having to add in days all over the shop of late to fit the new batch of kids coming up in. I'm full up for the next academic year at the moment already!

About a 40%/60% split for English/Maths I'm doing - mainly from about Y4 upwards - usually just the quieter kids who lack confidence in the subject really or ones who've got wobbly foundations in Numeracy. I get work via an agency but increasingly through word of mouth recommendations as well.
