Well, essentially the sky is the limit!

In today's world, where both parents are @ work, children need an adult's supervision to completetheir homework, projects , and of course, they need someone to teach them what they missed out inclass, or need additional explanation, and help them in getting better grades at school. And at highschool in addition to being prepared for the Board Exams, students are to be given extra coachingfor their entrance exams to Medical, Engineering And Management colleges. And, most often,especially here in India, a student has to apply and sit for as many exams as possible to getadmission into a reputed educational institution where grades are the deciding factor, and thenumber of applicants far outcries the number of seats available. So, good tutors are "most wanted",throughout the year. If you are a Language tutor, you can have adults wanting to travel abroad, orhave someone wanting to be taught the local language. School and college students of course, needto be proficient in the Grammar aspects of the Language they opted for, in school.

Computers of course, are being taught in every school, but someelderly people at home or some housewives and professionals may need to engage a home tutor asthey want to be taught 101. And some businessmen would like someone to train them in setting up awebsite or SEO ,and leveraging the internet for their business. Which means, opportunities fortutors are aplenty!

Some Points to ponder:

If you are going to be a tutor yourself, you need to be sure about how many hours a day you candevote to tutoring-whether you are doing part time or full time. Most tutors are normally availableafter school hours as students want tuitions then. Adult learners may want to be tutored over theweekends. And, some would prefer the mornings. It would therefore be worthwhile to note your ownpreferences first and advertise accordingly. Also, if you are working elsewhere or a student yourself,it pays to know if you would like to teach something you are comfortable with. Tutoring parttime cangive you some additional money, which I am sure you can put to good use. I know of severalengineers,in service or retired, who are Math tutors and Physics tutors after work and on weekends,simply because they want to make good use of their time and learning and also want to engage inmeaningful pasttime, other than watching TV.

If you are engaging tutors to teach the students you provide, you need not necessarily be a tutoryourself, but, knowing what each student requires, the different Board exams, Entrance exams andwhen they are usually schedule in the course

You can therefore be a professional at work in another organization,and still be in the home tutoring business as a hobby.

What Can I Expect To Be Paid?

Tutoring service is paid on hourly basis. Since a tutor is required to come home and teach, transportcharges are to be paid as well. In the US, I understand, tutoring charges vary between 15-35 $/hr.For an adult learner it can be upto 40$ an hour.

In India, a home tutor can expect to be paid Rs.120-150/hr for school/college students, and for adultlearners it would be Rs.250-300/hr. Of course, in some cases, transport is additionally chargeddepending on your client and the distance to be traveled. It pays to have a word with yourprospective client on the timing factor and the tuition fees to be paid before being engaged. Sometutoring agencies and reputed private home tutors prefer to be paid in advance every month andsome like to take an entire term's fees before beginning the first class.
