Academic Tutoring and Writing
Ask yourself, which subject you excel in. It can be anything: organic chemistry, English, calculus, music, or anything else. Use your abilities and knowledge to earn some money by giving private classes to other students who struggle with the subject you know perfectly. We recommend setting an hourly rate per your class, discuss the main performance goals, and schedule a class once or twice per week to meet those goals. If you feel a bit uncomfortable to tutor students of your own age, it is also possible to work with high school students and help them get ready for the ACT or SAT.
