Thats understandable, although most banks now do free accounting software to help you manage it in minutes if that's something that could help.
From one tutor to another, there are a few different models:
1.Traditional tutoring agencies – e.g. Keystone Tutors. Matching process assigns tutors to families. A more managed service, but agencies typically take a percentage (20-40%) of the tutoring fee (which is passed on to the parent or you work for less) and tutors have less control over the relationship.
2.Tutor directories / marketplaces – e.g. First Tutors now closed) and Tutorperch.These allow tutors to create a profile and parents to search for a tutor themselves. The advantage is that tutors can showcase their experience, set their own rates and build a direct relationship with families. The challenge is that parents need to choose between tutors rather than being matched for them.
3.Commission-based platforms – e.g. MyTutor and Tutorful (although Tutorful are no longer accepting new Tutors) other online tutoring platforms.These can provide access to a large number of students and handle things like payments and lesson systems, but tutors may pay fees or commissions and the platform (between 15%-60%) and there are so many tutors on these platforms internationally so there is a lot of competition.
4.Independent tutoring / word of mouth – many tutors rely on recommendations, local groups, school networks and their own websites. This gives maximum control and no platform fees, but it can be harder for new tutors to get discovered. Facebook is quite good for this but every post is flooded with tutors from all over the world commenting.
