I used to tutor when I was in grad school, to undergrads. I charged around $45/hour tutoring upper year engineering courses. I only recently found out how much the tutoring companies were charging high schoolers and was like holy fuck I could've had so much more disposable income during grad school.
I'm seriously considering shifting back to tutoring. Like even with time spent of finding clients and chasing down payments I imagine it's possible to make a good living. The main issue I haven't gamed out how taxes factor in (specifically sales taxes and pension payments). I imagine tutoring full time isn't something I can get away doing for cash and not repoting on my income tax.
I never paid taxes on cash, but I did on anything with a paper trail
It's definitely still possible to make a living tutoring, but the big challenge is your working hours. Kids are in school here until 2-3 and noone wants to schedule tutoring after 7:00, which means you only can get a few students in per day. I ended up taking a part time job for the mornings and tutoring in the evenings, but if you can crack the case on midday tutoring you'd be set up. If you have somewhere in public you can meet students, that cuts down on drive time between session to fit more in, too. I always met at their house which meant 15 or so minutes of driving between appointments.
