So, why should you be a math tutor? Math is one of the most important subjects. Many families are interested in getting their math issues solved—and they can pay a good amount for it. If you have some skill in math (and it doesn't even have to be much skill), you should be able to make 30,000 to $70,000 as a math tutor, working for yourself or for a tutoring company. The majority of tutoring involves just algebra and geometry. Rarely you'll get into some calculus with certain more advanced students.

There are two main types of tutors. There is the rogue tutor who is out making a living and finding clients on their own. And there's a company tutor who works for someone else and has more steady work that way. Both lifestyles can provide significant freedom and flexibility, which is one nice thing about tutoring in general. There's even the opportunity to do a combination of these, working for a company while you also build your own business on the side.

Jobs in STEM fields are increasing right now by 8% to 9% per year. So there's demand for learning mathematics, and it's one of the toughest things for people to learn. For whatever reason people get stuck in algebra and geometry. So there's high demand for tutors in those areas. And parents want their kids to do well in math because STEM jobs are great and are on the rise. So, if you like mathematics and you've always done well in it, this could be a good job for you. Many people find meaning in being a math tutor, because you're helping people one-on-one to grow and expand.

So, if you have solid skills in geometry and algebra, the other thing you’ll need is some communication skills and empathy. That's an overlooked area of math tutoring, which can set you apart. There are many people who can do math, but few who can teach it.

Speaking of teaching, who am I to be teaching you about running a tutoring business anyway? I've owned multiple tutoring companies. I started my first company six years ago, and before that I was freelance tutoring for years. So I've been involved in tutoring for over a decade. And I have many stories to share. I've hired quite a few math tutors because I own a company now that specializes mainly in mathematics. In my first company I found math was about 90% to 95% of our business, so I focused my second company just on math.

One of the great things about tutoring as a business is that you can build long term relationships with your clients. We’ll see in a later lesson that building these long term relationships is a big key to growing your business. Many tutors miss out on that opportunity.

Math is really set up well for long term relationships because kids are enrolled in various courses simultaneously. And improving requires significant effort. So kids often need help for years, or even all through high school.

I've hired people with PhDs who weren't great tutors. The best tutors are people with the ability to communicate. You don't have to be the most polished speaker in the world, but if you have genuine desire to help people and empathy, you should be able to make good money as a math tutor. And it doesn't have to be full time. You can do this 20 hours per week and make a good living while pursuing other interests. We have tutors who love music and are constantly creating. They spend more hours making music than they do tutoring! They have good lives.

Tutoring gives you freedom because you're either going to be an independent contractor or working for yourself.

These are just some of the reasons for being a math tutor.

We're going to go over all the tips, tricks, and tools of the trade in this course. I’ll show you how to make yourself stand out. And one of the most important things to know is how to get your first clients. Then we’ll see how to keep those clients on a long term basis, and how to get them on a steady schedule from week to week.
