Parlay your math, science, foreign-language or test-prep expertise into a lucrative side gig by becoming a private tutor. You can tutor people online or in-person. What you charge can depend on your experience, expertise and what’s in demand. To get started, see what types of tutors are needed on Craigslist or create a profile on sites like Tutor.com or Care.com. You can also advertise your services at local schools and community centers.

Total time: Varies by subject matter. Setup: Can be a bit involved. How easy to start: Students will have to find you, and that might take a while. Age threshold: Any. Payment speed: Usually pretty fast; often right away.

Need to know
  • Startup time depends on demand in your area. It could take a while before you get your first student.

  • If you haven't tutored before, you'll want to allow for time to prep so students feel like they're getting the most out of their time with you.

  • How quickly you get paid depends on whether you tutor via a platform or in-person; either way, it likely won't take long.

Requirements
  • You'll need deep knowledge in an area that people need help understanding, like mathematics, a foreign language or test prep.
