Tutoring/editing papers?
My work situation right now is such that I'm part-time at two placements, working for hours (not for pay - it's complicated).
I want to figure out a source of income (not critical, but something that I feel right about doing) and so I thought I could offer myself as a tutor or an editor for college/high school papers.
I have an MA, good math skills (as well as others - I note math in particular because I have a belief that kids need help in math across the board and I tutored math during my UG years), am good at explaining and clarifying, and have half days free twice a week, and Fridays totally open.
Have any of your tutored on the side, or edited papers? How did you go about publicizing yourself? Are there any restrictions or requirements I should know about?
Re: Tutoring/editing papers?
I grade papers for Ashford University in addition to my full-time job. Their only requirement is that you have a Bachelor's degree. It's very easy and not terribly time consuming. They don't pay well ($850 to $1000 per five week class with an average of four weeks of grading), but you can get your foot in the door. You're pretty much guaranteed to be picked up within 3 to 4 months of applying.
Just search for Ashford University Employment and it's the Online Adjunct Teaching Assistant position.
Hope that helps.
