📖 The Hustle
Run a small homework pod for 3-4 middle schoolers after school. They work on their own assignments while you circulate, answer questions, and keep them on task. Charge $15-20 per student per hour. With four kids for two hours, you earn $120-160 per afternoon. It is more efficient than one-on-one tutoring and more social for the kids.
🚀 First Step
Post in parent Facebook groups for your local middle school offering a structured homework pod with a maximum of four students per session.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Set a firm no-phone policy during homework time — distraction kills focus
- Rotate between students every 10 minutes so everyone gets equal attention
- Have each parent sign a simple agreement about schedule, payment, and expectations
