Tutoring business?

I’ve been tutoring for a year now and squeezed in just as many clients as I had time for each week. It’s really easy to get clients because you will get recognition through word of mouth–you already have a big appeal as someone charging ~$20/hr when most adults charge around $60. Reputation helps; I was known as a “smart kid” at school, so my name got picked a lot off of my school’s peer tutoring list. Ask if your school, and the schools you are targeting, has a peer tutoring list, promote yourself on twitter, and you should get tons of clients. That being said, not sure why you’d want to target K-9–the real money is in hs students.

If you’re going for the “business” aspect to try and impress colleges, though, I can’t help you there, but I made enough money tutoring for a few months or so to save up for a senior trip to a foreign country with my friends, so that’s what mattered to me.
