Being a tutor especially online gives you the flexibility to work with your clients on your schedule outside of the normal school hours, within and outside your teaching district. As a tutor, you will also have the flexibility to choose your clients and how much they want to get paid per hour. The demand for a qualified professional is high enough that you can be a little picky.
A lot of agencies hire tutors as contractors and offer a fair rate per hour. Those agencies understand that tutoring might not be your primary career. And they will be more willing to work with your schedule.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I have one student of mine who cannot afford Sylvan and would like a tutor. Just curious to see your opinions on the matter. Joined: Sep 19, Messages: 1, Likes Received: 2. Nov 9, As a student teacher we tutor one student as part of a case study.
But, the other students all know about it and want the special attention to. In my own classroom, it would depend if I tutored a student in my classroom. I'm not sure I'd be "legally" allowed to take money for it. Also I would have the tutoring at the school or at a library near the school. I wouldn't want my students coming to my home or vise versa. If you are the only option as a tutor for this student and have the time I would encourage you to tutor him.

It's just considered part of your teaching day so there is no extra compensation. The role of the tutor is not to show how to solve a math problem, but to help the tutee learn how to find the answers and to find the solutions on his or her own.
The core of a good math tutoring is Socratic questioning. Then this process continuous until the tutee discovers the solution to the problem on his or her own. Basically the tutor works as a guide.
What does the tutee learn by that? A good tutor will ask the tutee to find the definition in the textbook, read it a couple of times and then the tutor will check the understanding by asking the tutee to give the definition in his or her own words or will use the new concept in a math problem. During the Socratic questioning the tutee learns the rationale behind this step- by step process, which insures the procedure is remembered.
During the Socratic questioning the tutor is able to determine the level at which the student is struggling: whether the student understands the vocabulary used in a particular section, and whether the tutee understands basic concepts. Very often the tutee needs to understand the basic concepts before going further, and the tutee needs to spend time on the basics.
During the Socratic method of tutoring, a good tutor will make his or her tutee aware of the fact that challenges in learning and understanding often come from not being able to relate the immediate material to prior knowledge. During the Socratic way of tutoring, the tutee learns that information must be organized into meaningful patterns. Every tutoring session needs to demonstrate that learning is a process of recall, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation.
She or he will ask only open-ended questions. Parents are happy since their child wants to have a tutor, meets with the tutor, the homework grades are improving. Bad tutoring may scar your child for life. I will never forget a girl who was taking my algebra class. I saw her going for tutoring twice a week. Her homework grades started improving, but the tests scores were still very poor. I also learned that day that the girl was being tutored in a typical way, which was mimicking the steps in a problem similar to the one the tutor had shown her before.
I told her to stop going to tutoring sessions and I asked her to come to my office twice a week.
