📖 The Hustle
Specialize in one or two high school subjects you know well — algebra, biology, history, or Spanish. Parents seek tutors for specific subjects where their teen is struggling. Charge $25-40 per hour. Focus on the classes taught at your local high school so you can align with the exact curriculum. Become the go-to person for that subject in your area.
🚀 First Step
Get a copy of the syllabus for the class you want to tutor at your local high school, then post on Nextdoor offering subject-specific tutoring for that exact course.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Align every session with the student's actual class syllabus — do not teach random material
- Ask students to bring their latest test so you can focus on their specific weak spots
- Create a simple one-page cheat sheet for each chapter to give students a study tool
