01 — "Overview"

SAT, math and science tutoring pays $40–$100/hr, more for specialized test prep.

02 — "The Crash Course"

  1. Step 01

    Pick high-demand subjects

    SAT/ACT prep, math (algebra–calculus), chemistry, coding and languages pay most.

  2. Step 02

    Start on platforms

    Wyzant, Varsity Tutors, Preply or Outschool to get your first students and reviews.

  3. Step 03

    Create a simple lesson structure

    Diagnose, teach, practice, homework. Parents love a clear plan.

  4. Step 04

    Price by subject and results

    $30–$100/hr. Test prep often pays $75–$150/hr.

  5. Step 05

    Move to direct clients

    Once trusted, offer packages via your own booking page (within platform terms).

  6. Step 06

    Sell packages

    10 sessions paid upfront gives you stable income.

  7. Step 07

    Get referrals

    Parents talk to parents. Ask after strong results.
