There are many advantages to becoming a tutor. It can give you everything from a first experience of the world of work to extra money that can cover your needs. Thinking of becoming a tutor? Here's what you'll get in return:  

1. It's a job that doesn't take up too much time

Giving private tuition is not a regular or difficult job. You will not have to dedicate more hours than you should and it will only be for a few days a week or as agreed with your student. Which brings us to the next point: 

2. You will be able to combine private tuition with studies or work.

Is there a way to earn money while studying or working? Yes, being a private tuition tutor allows you to do it all. As long as you discuss it with your student, you can adapt your private tuition to the schedule that suits you best, even if it means postponing or bringing it forward or working on weekends.

3. You don't need experience or studies

In this job, they don't look at how much experience you have or how much schooling you have completed. What they look more closely at is your skills and your ability to get along with others.

4. You learn too

"Teaching is the purest form of learning", said Aristotle in classical Greece. Teaching and reviewing concepts with your student will force you to remember them or to go deeper into them than you have already done.

On the other hand, on a personal level, you will also learn from your students. The hours you will spend together will help you to understand them better and to be the best team.

5. Not very routine work

Monotony is not part of the world of private tuition. The reason? Each class will be different and so will each student. When you advertise as a tutor, you will see all the different types of classes you can choose from: Face-to-face classes, private tuition at home, private tuition at home?

And it's not just the format that can vary, but the way you approach the class. Each day you will be teaching something different and you will be able to practice with your student the methods that you think work best.
