<p>I want to try this. How much do you think I should charge for students grades 3~7? I’m a junior, so I think I can handle the stuff they are learning…Has anyone done this before?? Should I buy a book and base my curriculum on that?? I want to approach this in an organized way…the worst thing that can happen is not knowing how to teach them, or not having a clean, systematic approach. What should I do to be as professional as possible? I’m thinking of charging like $7.00/hour… is this too much/little? The only credential I have to tutor younger kids is the fact that I’m a straight A student…(?) egh, and also, how would I spread the word that I’m tutoring young kids? I’m thinking of starting with some kids I know that need help, but I really want to expand and tutor like 3~4 kids a week. I’m also planning to pay my SAT prep classes with this money.</p>
<p>what background and experience do you have that would indicate that this is something that you would be interested in/good at, good enough that someone would pay you to do it?</p>

<p>Look at it from the kids perspective.
they need help- they hire you, you have no clue.
They spend weeks or even months " giving you a chance", meanwhile they aren’t learning what they need to learn.</p>
<p>Try getting a study group together for the summer- maybea book group?
volunteer your time.
See if you still have an inclination & perhaps even an aptitude for the work.</p>
