I am thinking of starting a tutoring service for primary school-aged students in my area. This may also extend to babysitting.
So far my lineup seems to be as follows:
-$5 per 15 minutes (maximum would be $20 for 1 hour)
-One-on-one tutoring.
-Meeting at students houses unless there is a need for them to meet in a public place (i.e. student is struggling with PE and needs a place to run)
-Covering all major areas of the curriculum apart from the LOTE program that nearly all schools run. (I only know French and a little bit of Japanese)
-Extra service in music theory as well.
Am I missing anything? You don't need to have teaching qualifications to be a tutor, just as long as you know the area you are going to teach. (the only issue I have with maths is long division....
)
I would be getting my first aid certificate. For those in Australia, is it possible to do a police check without needing to be part of an organization?
I have also developed a small policy against abusive students/parents:
-If a student is abusive towards ME, the session will be stopped.
-If a parent is abusive towards me, the session will be stopped and any future sessions may be cancelled depending on what has happened.
-If a parent is abusive towards their child, the session will be stopped AND the Aussie version of CPS will be called.
-If I am not paid for any session, then sessions will be stopped until I am paid for services owed.
I am also debating the possibility of doubling up students i.e. if there are siblings who need assistance. How would I go about this?
