3. Online Tutoring
Online tutoring absolutely exploded during lockdowns and hasn’t slowed down since. Parents are keen to give their kids every advantage, and adults are constantly upskilling.
You don’t need teaching qualifications for many subjects. Maths, English, and science are always popular, but don’t overlook niche skills. Teaching guitar via Zoom? Totally doable. Helping international students with Australian slang? There’s a market for that.
Many tutors mix one-on-one sessions with small group classes. Group classes mean more students, more income per hour, and often more fun for everyone involved.
What you can earn: $30-$80 per hour
Time you’ll spend: 5-25 hours per week
How to start: Create profiles on Tutor2You or First Tutors, highlighting your expertise and teaching approach. Offer short free consultations to build trust with new students.
Insider tip: Tutors who offer intensive exam prep during HSC season can earn serious money in a short timeframe – we’re talking $2,000+ over a few weeks.
