Need $, how about teaching?

Every student on Planet College needs money? It's continuous. In fact it will be a lasting need long after graduation. Right now most of us do several things to get money. Mostly some kind of work. Usually this work is part time. Well, still we could all use a little extra cash now and then so consider this. Teaching or tutoring? Surprised? Haven't thought of yourself as a teacher. Most average students don't. Still there may be some skill you have which someone will pay to learn. Martial Arts, Guitar, Cheer dance, there are lots of them. You can teach or tutor on your own schedule. Parents are often happy to have a college student assist their child with their homework or in a particular subject. By the way the difference between teaching and tutoring is the number of students. If you have one student at a time you are a tutor. If you have more than one you are a teacher. By this time you've been through enough teaching situations to know how it goes. Set a regular time for you lesson. Develop guidelines for the student or student. Find out what a fair fee to charge in your area for teaching your skills? Post a notice on bulletin boards virtual or real announcing that you are available. Remember this is money in your pocket directly. No middleman like your regular paycheck. YOU take care of it all. Give it some thought.
