Here is a list of seven reasons to become an online tutor. Please feel free to let me know if I missed any reasons!

  1. It’s very rewarding! - Teaching someone else just feels good. If you have the heart of a teacher, you know what I mean! A student who needs tutoring needs it because they are obviously behind or lost in that subject. Watching them learn and understand is highly motivating for yourself and for your student.
  2. Extra income. - If you thought that all online jobs were for marketers and programmers, think again. There is high demand for online tutors and the demand is expected to grow with more and more people turning to the Internet every day to fulfill their learning needs.
  3. Learn by tutoring. - Have you ever heard that by teaching someone else is when you actually learn yourself? Well, I personally can vouch for the truth in that statement. Every time I teach something new, I learn something different.
  4. Flexible Schedule. – Tutors choose their available hours and many times can even work with students to set a good time for the tutoring session.
  5. Build relationships. – There won’t be a special bond between you and every student you tutor, but there will be those students that you just click with as a tutor. I personally get pretty attached to my students and hate to see the semester end since they won’t be needing me anymore.
  6. Meet new people. – As a tutor you will always meet different kinds of people that you would otherwise not come in contact with. For example, I tutor high schoolers. I normally never speak with high schoolers and when I first started tutoring it felt a little funny. However, I have become comfortable with them through tutoring and now I have no problem chatting it up with teenagers.
  7. Share your knowledge. – I don’t know about you, but I love sharing what I know. I’m a geologist and I see an interesting geological feature I just have to share it with whoever I’m with at the time and this might not always be appreciated or wanted. But tutoring gives you the opportunity to share what you know at the appropriate time!
