Online Tutoring

Online tutoring works by hiring teachers for the online learning environment. The jobs in this tend towards being either worldwide learning institutions or learning institutions delivering teaching to regional areas with large gaps between students. As a general rule, it seems formal qualifications in teaching are required in order to be a successful applicant for online tutoring jobs.

Also, it seems that a minimum of a broadband internet connection is required to participate in online tutoring, alongside speaking hardware such as a headset.

Tutor Vista

Pros:

• A reputable organization
• Can be done part time (4 to 9 hours a day)
• Accept international applicants
• Many subjects available to tutor in
• Engineers may not need very high qualifications
• Organization supplies training

Cons:

• Based in India and may help to secure reputation of an unknown Indian brand (seems like a minor issue to me)
• Is not freelance, the work hours are prescheduled
• Requires at least a degree, expected to be a masters and some teaching experience
• Due to it being an international service, teaching hours can be quite uncomfortable (late night, possibly)
• Cannot just come and go, commitment required.
