With the financial strain of bills and outgoings not appearing to decrease, it’s unsurprising that more teachers are taking on second jobs to support their finances. A second job seems like a quick fix, however, when securing a second job, it’s crucial to ensure that it pays what you deserve and doesn’t consume too much of your time. Ideally, it should also be fulfilling, not just a side hustle which you resent doing.
This is why more and more teachers are turning to tutoring to create extra income.
When it comes to offering tuition, you can make it as big as you want. You can just tutor one or two children per week, or grow your own tutoring empire.
Don’t forget, the method of delivering your tutoring services is flexible. You can opt for in-person sessions within your community or provide online tuition.
Depending on your location, qualified teachers can command hourly rates ranging from £40 to £60 for tutoring services.
How we can support you – One-stop shop for all your materials
For over 25 years, AE Publications has been passionate about education. We prepare children for 11+ exams and general maths and English Key Stage 2 support with our ‘how-to’ workbooks. We have over 120 titles, all of which have been classroom tested.
When establishing your own tutoring business, it’s crucial to organise the resources you will use to support you. If you are planning to tutor for Key Stage 2, the 11+, or independent entrance exams, AE Publications offers a comprehensive range of resources for maths, English, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning. Our range includes workbooks, testbooks and testpacks.
In our workbooks, topics are logically structured to develop a child’s knowledge, understanding and technique in a step-by-step methodical manner. Testbooks are used alongside the workbooks, and testpacks are used to evaluate a child’s progress.
Our range is a one-stop shop to support tutors every step of the way.
Get started – tips how to market yourself to gain your first pupils
Marketing yourself and reaching out to potential customers can sometimes be daunting. Here are two tips to kick-start your promotion:
1. Inform family and friends about your tutoring services; word of mouth is one of the most effective marketing tools.
2. Initially, a website isn’t necessary; promoting yourself on social media can be enough. Use local Facebook groups to advertise your tutoring services.
3. Do your research! If you plan to tutor locally, investigate the standard rates in your area. As a qualified teacher, ensure you are not undervaluing your services.
Build a partnership with your parents for long-term success
Establishing a partnership with both parents and pupils is vital for securing long-term clients. To support this partnership, it is essential to demonstrate to parents the progress their child has made through your tuition. Therefore, assessing and monitoring their results needs to be part of the tuition programme you offer.
AE Publications’ range is designed to support a child’s development at every stage. Our workbooks, testbooks and testpacks allow for results to be recorded, and certificates are included to celebrate milestones achieved in their learning journey.
