| I've prepared students for the SAT for the last 6 years; it has actually turned into a great business. Generally speaking, however, SAT prep (and tutoring) is a slow growing business since it is referral dependent.
While you've scored a 2230 on the SAT, preparing a student is completely different. If you're serious about making money as an SAT tutor, I recommend that you register with Princeton Review, Kaplan, or Ivy West. You will learn how the large companies function. Working for one of these companies will instantly boost your credibility.
Bottom line, if you're trying to make a quick buck, tutoring is a bad gig. I would learn how to play online poker, first. |
