From my thread 'How much would like like to earn???,' this just came up on my mind but i've notice around laterly, why isn't many ppl interested in being a tutor (part time or something) you get a decent pay, plus no tax!

Eh, you'd have to be exceptionally good. Too hard.

I wanted to be a tutor. I have a couple of friends that want to tutor too. But unless you have students to tutor, and if they're younger, parents that are willing to pay you, you're not gonna be able to.

And besides, my dad doesn't want me too. Instead, I work at mcdonalds.

I did teach a yr seven once ... Grade 4 piano theory. I sacrificed by bus rides for 2 weeks and upped her marks from 40% to 75% and got $20 plus a weeks stuffed toy loan. which is pretty good from a friend.

I'm gonna try and tutor in Uni (provided I get a high enough UAI)
You can join Intuition (tutoring college) if you get a UAI of higher than 97, or exceptional in one subject. They start you off at $22/hour first year, which is pretty good.. Considering they give you all the answer sheets and you don't actually need to teach the kids..

Defeats the purpose of helping student in needs, but still good enough :) lol

Psh, if you wanted to help a student in need, you'd tutor him/her for free.

The amount of prep can be a deterrant at times.

Yeah, tutoring requires prep, and even then the college pays you even less than Maccas per hour. They promised to raise my wage but never did.
