I would imagine it is quite easy to get local tutoring work with primary kids if you are a qualified primary teacher. I think a lot of kids struggle, and it is something parents are prepared to pay for.

I help my niece with her homework sometimes, she is 8, and she just doesn't seem to have the same strictness about learning that we did back at school. She is super bright and could write her name before school, yet only knows 3/4 of the alphabet. I think that there is a lot of room for tuition, depending on where you live I suppose.

The thing is with primary teaching is that it has all changed in terms of how they do things, but you have the advantage [member=1619]SarahLu[/member] of being recently qualified. I think one on one sounds a lovely job, if the classroom isn't for you.

I've tutored 'old folk' on getting the most out of their IT at home

bespoke packages that I tailored based on what they actually wanted to do at home with their equipment

Charged £15 an hour and created a 5-6 week course for them

That's a great idea Jon

I started a pgce at the tender age of 22 but I didn't finish the course I only managed two terms. It wasn't for me!

Tutoring, ask around, I used to tutor a work colleagues daughter for her GCSE French that was an informal arrangement between us not through an agency.

And if you go to your local uni, colleges or even the public library there are often lots of ads on the message boards for people who are not native speakers wanting help with English or you could post your own ad and see if anyone replies, always meet in a public place though like a cafe, for safety.

I have looked into tutoring via an agency but although I have taught TEFL before I don't have the qualification and they all seem to want you to have that or apgce nowadays
