Overview
What this business looks like
If you are good at any school subject, parents will pay you $20-50/hour to help their kids. Tutoring has near-zero startup costs, flexible hours, and builds skills (communication, patience, teaching) that look incredible on college applications. You can tutor in person or over Zoom, and once parents see their child's grades improve, they become long-term clients who refer you to other families.
