Today we had a staff meeting about our return to in-person learning in a few weeks. Of course, the teachers are freaking out because they do not think it is safe. One teacher (who is a liberal nutjob) was like, "but the CDC just said that cloth masks are ineffective!!!" and are telling the admin to require everyone to wear double masks if we do go back (because they would rather stay home). These are the people who educate your children

It would be nice. It is something I looked into about 10 years ago and the going rate for any kind of tutoring was $12-15 an hour.

Maybe one could make it work. I am hampered by my ignorance of the mechanics of making such a business work. I have my intro Econ class and what I can google.

If you tutor in a subject that rich kids really need to pass standardized tests (such as organic chemistry for the MCAT) you can charge $50-100 an hour easily

I don't think I could handle the city. I live near a town of 200 people and it is too many for me.

A friend of mine has a relative who teaches home school and makes over $50k. It's about groups. You can make $12-15/hr multiplied by however many kids you're teaching at a time. So four kids at once is $48-60/hour. And it's still a very small group, so the kids are getting way better instruction than they would receive in a public school setting with 30+ kids in the classroom.
