HACK 178 Tutor Students Around the World

You don’t have to spend afternoons at the library to tutor students anymore. Now you can do it from the comfort of your own home. Online platforms hire tutors to help students around the world practice their English language skills. You typically don’t need a teaching or language arts background—just enthusiasm and a good handle on the basics of the English language. And if you do have a teaching background or certificate, you can make up to $20 per hour, with some platforms offering bonuses after you teach a certain number of classes. Due to time zones, you may need to teach at strange times of day, like early in the morning or late at night. But that makes it easy to fit tutoring into your schedule before or after work.
