How much money can I earn?

You can earn $14 to $25 an hour, depending on your teacher rating on the site and your qualifications.

If you teach three full lessons within your first month, you can also earn a $300 bonus.

Your earning vary by how many students you take on. In the beginning, it might be hard to fill slots, however, it gets easier as your reviews go up.

“I was able to fill 19 spots, only work approx. 3 hours (due to Student No-Show’s) and make about $104 for classes, but a total of $995 in my first month with the peak time subsidy and New Teacher Bonus additions,” said one Reddit reviewer.

What is the work like?

Some of the benefits of the work are flexible scheduling and easy preparation.

You get to set your own work schedule and work as many or as few hours as you’d like. Keep in mind that each class needs to be 25 minutes in length.

You can set your class times at any time during the day, however, it is best you schedule your classes during 7 PM to 9 PM on weekdays because that’s when the most students are using the platform.

They also provide you premade lesson plans, so you don’t have to write your classes from scratch. However, it is recommended that you have teaching props ready and that you review your class slides before beginning so that you know what you are teaching that day.

The classes are one-on-one, so you don’t have to deal with lots of students all at once. You will need to write up some feedback within 12 hours after the class to describe how the class went and how your student is progressing.

You should also mention:

• What you covered in class
• What the student did
• What the student needs to study
• Instructions on how to go about practicing

This will be given to the parents so that they can help with homework and ensure that their child is progressing.

Which students you teach is random, and you might not end up teaching the same students every time. For instance, some students sign up through trial and therefore you won’t see them again unless they sign up for the site and rebook your classes. However, if a student likes your teaching style, then they will likely rebook your classes specifically.
