I've finally done it! Thank you MN

[fledtoscotland]

After reading threads on here about working for yourself and using your skills, I've bitten the bullet and put an advert on gumtree as a freelance tutor.

Have had my first student tonight! I did a bit of prep first but she was delighted and has skipped off with an essay plan and has booked another hour next week,

I know it's not exactly my first £1000 per day but its a start and I can fit it round DC

My next question is where do I take it next? I don't have any formal teaching qualifications just masses of specialist experience and knowledge. Can I put an advert up in uni or the student union? Where else do tutors advertise?

Btw special thanks to Xenia as it was her posts on a prev thread that gave me the boot up the arse I needed to stop talking about it and do it

That's fantastic Fled, I'm still working up to that first step off the edge do many congratulations to you!

Well done! Also, check out the Kumon franchise system.

People per hour is good, perhaps not local though.

childcare.co.uk advertise tutors, I'm a childminder and get quite a bit of work through them. hth

Well done fled! MN can be so inspiring.
Good luck with continuing your venture.
