Decide on the Subject Area: Think about what subjects you’re comfortable teaching. It could be anything from English, math, or science to music or languages. Your knowledge and skills will guide this choice.

Qualifications: While formal qualifications aren’t always necessary, having a teaching background or a degree related to your subject can help. If you don’t have formal qualifications, gaining a certification or short course in tutoring could boost your credibility.

Word of mouth and advertising in local schools

There are companies that hire tutors. Maybe you could ask them what is required to be a tutor.

I starting tutoring through friends, with their children first. I then got further work via word of mouth. In the community groups that I am in, people are often asking for tutors in our local area. If I am able to take on their child as a client I message through my details and rate etc.

Thank you ladies. Im currently studying cert 4 in education support so i have my working with children’s check. I will suss out the courses.

If you plan on tutoring minors then make sure you get a working with children check.

Search for Tutor certification and Tutoring – Become a tutor and Check out “Accredited Tutor” as well.

You need to be able to advertise your skills and get clients. Often it’s done through schools or uni but it depends what you want to tutor in.

Most tutors are retired teachers or teachers on leave. However you could possibly get some work if you do a certificate in education assistance at TAFE. It is about demonstrating you have the knowledge of the curriculum….technically, as a private independent contractor, you do not have to really be qualified just knowledge with working with children clearances and people willing to hire you. Gumtree us a popular place to advertise.
