Why it works
A good tutor keeps the same students for months, and parents tell other parents. Families search for a subject and a place, like maths tutor in Leeds, and those searches are easy to show up in.
What you need to start
- A subject you know well
- A quiet table or a good webcam
- Practice papers
- A background check where needed
- A calendar you keep to
- A way to take payment
Some countries ask tutors who work with children for a background check. Get it before your first lesson.
