4. Tutoring
If you want to set your own hours and availability, tutoring is another option that might appeal to you. You can work online and typically won’t need a teaching qualification to get started.
This is a great side hustle if you’re studying for a degree in a core subject, like maths or English. You’ll need to spend some time familiarising yourself with the GCSE or A-level syllabus, but once you’ve done that, you can earn around £20 per hour from the comfort of your own home!
As an added bonus, tutoring also makes for great relevant work experience if you want to be a teacher — you’ll be building on the skills that you’ll need when you’re in the classroom, and you’ll become way more confident in helping young pupils with their learning.
Not sure where to get started? Check out sites like sites like Tutorful and MyTutor. The only downside to this method is that these platforms will take a set percentage of your earnings, but it’s worth it for the steady influx of parents looking for a tutor and the ease of getting paid.
