How to make money giving private lessons?

Give private lessons and work at home.

Providing tutoring is a great and lucrative way to earn extra money. Although it is not work for everyone, but it is not necessary to be a student or a teacher to earn a living this way. First of all that counts is the extensive knowledge of tutoring subjects.

What subjects can you teach?

Foreign languages, especially Chinese and Spanish. Private foreign language lessons are probably the most popular form of individual learning because they're used by all sorts of people, from school and college students to the employees of companies who want to improve their skills. Demand for private language lessons is really tremendous, both in small and large cities, and regardless of where you live, you can easily find the students.
School subjects - it is common to provide tutoring in biology, physics, mathematics, history, geography and chemistry.
Items in college - especially challenging, such as: logic, econometrics, statistics - many students of economic and polytechnic schools that want to pass a difficult exam, decide to try additional tutoring. An additional advantage is the fact that in this niche market the competition is relatively small and you can count on high rates.
Informatics - many, especially older people, have problems with basic computer and internet usage (eg not able to send e-mails or copying photos from digital camera). So if you feel that you can use a computer fluently you might organize private lessons for those who wish to learn it. Additionally, for instance you can teach creating websites, positioning, programming - because even in large cities it is difficult to find a good course covering this field.
But the typical school subjects are not the only areas in which you can give private lessons. You can even teach many other things, for example - how to choose the right make-up thus many women can not do that; decoupage techniques - that are very fashionable recently, painting - for amateurs and people who want to get to Fine Arts Academy, sewing and designing clothes, photography, cooking or dancing.

Perhaps it may sound unbelievable that anyone would want to learn such things. But people differ, have different aspirations and sometimes you may be surprised how many of them are interested in acquiring such skills. In any case, if you do not try, you will never see.
The key is to base your work on your own interests - this is the best recipe for success.

So you decided what you'll teach but how can you gain students?

The easiest way is to place advertisements on the Internet, which usually are free so there are no hidden costs. There are many classifieds sites such as Gumtree which is free and has a large audience. You may try local portals of your city or province because advertising there can be very effective.
A good idea is placing ads in a popular local newspaper also. It will cost you a few dollars but many people are accustomed to using the newspapers when looking for private lessons. And even these few dollars are nothing compared to how much you can earn with at least one acquired pupil in this way.
How much can you earn for tutoring? It depends on the city where you live. In a large city average prices are 15-25 dollars per hour, in small town price can be a bit lower. Another factor that influences the price is whether the student commutes to tutor or vice versa. If you want to travel to a student you have to add also the cost of the ticket.
So let's calculate how much you can earn. Suppose you have three students, each one once a week. This gives you a 100 - 20 $ per month. You'll probably agree with me that, as for 3 hours a week it is a very good deal.
This is a very good idea for a home job. Not only that, this way you can earn a decent money but it also brings you a great satisfaction if your high school student passes with very good thanks to you.
