I'm looking ahead a little, youngest will start Reception next year, I want a part time job that will fit round school hours (don't we all?!) but I don't want to go back yo University lecturing. Anyone else jumped ship from academia? I've no idea where to start in terms of finding a new flexible job?

Tutoring?

tryhard · 26/09/2015 08:19

I have thought about tutoring but I have no teaching qualifications and no experience of teaching outside of a University setting, so I don't know the curriculum, have no experience of teaching below 18 year old etc. So I was thinking that a. I'd be pretty clueless and b. I probably wouldn't be very attractive to parents who I'm guessing would be looking for an experienced teacher? Or am I just being pessimistic?!

Tutoring at A-level or IB would be fine - you need to like 16-18 year olds and familiarise yourself with the curriculum.

I am in the same position, only I'm from the social sciences. Do you want to pm me and maybe we can chat? I'm also exploring other routes x
