How To Become an Online Private Tutor and Beginner's Guide



Starting out as a private tutor can be really challenging! In this video, I'll walk you through the important steps you need to take, and how to start earning money as an online tutor.

Let's talk about the basics such as finding a subject you are confident in teaching, finding students who are looking for a tutor and pricing your first lessons. Then we'll discuss how you can become a more established private tutor, how to increase your hourly prices and keeping students coming back for more. Plus, I'll share with you the secrets of seasonal tutoring, which can really boost your revenue and retention of students. I hope you find the video useful!

In the video, I talk about using SuperProf, which I personally think is the best platform to tutor from.

    Thanks for this video! Are you still going with superprof? I’m wondering if the premium is still worth it?

  2. That very much of me when you state the imposter syndrome of feeling not qualified to teach any subject.

  3. 7:30 thats acutally me i work as a medic and i tutor high school maths ! 🙂

  4. do you reccomend using a middleman website? im trying to start out tutoring math is it a high demand topic ?

  5. Very helpful, thank you

  6. Superprof is perfect 🎉 I'm a spanish tutor in Brazil🎉

  7. Thank you for this useful video. Next time could you help me learn how to teach online to a group of 5 students? Best regards, Mariana.

  8. I got extremely lucky where I connected with a parent that had 2 children. The father then proceeded to get me 8 other students who are friends of his with children. I get paid directly through each parent and the lack of fees, i.e. no middle man such as some ESL platform has been a LIFE CHANGER. It's obvious this won't last forever. They will finish their course with me at some point so I need to be prepared and figure out how to set myself up for finding more students in the future. I'm really trying to figure out how to do that.

  9. Hi. How do we get lesson materials to teach English?

  10. Hey man. I tutor maths in person. I'd love to travel while teaching but I don't understand how you'd show your workings/see their workings. Do you know how?

  11. Hello

    Can I put some lessons with my own self like a pub ?

  12. You're actually using two platforms to advertise yourself, YouTube is also one of them

    Hi Conner I am desperate to work from home and since I speak German I was hoping to become a tutor and don't know where to begin because I have very little computer skills. Any advice would be hugely appreciated 👍😁

    Thank you for thsi video!
    Im a recent stay at home mum and think tutoring would be a goos job for me to do in the evenings around child care. However I graduated in 2014 so have been out of education for a long time and I have no experience tutoring. I've been working in office roles since graduating
    However this is something that I think I can do (at one point i was thinking of training as a teacher). My degree is in Psychology and I have A grades at A levels Psychology and Sociology. I also have good grades in English, English lit, History and child development at GCSE. Unfortunately I dont have any friends or family at school age to practice on. I'm a little bit nervous! Are all the resources online free? How long does it take to learn a topic for a client? Any advice for me?

  18. Hi everyone. Do you have suggestions on how to teach science especially in biology?
