Know a Foreign Language? Become an Online Tutor

If you know a foreign language more options are available for finding a job, not just online but any type of job.

But that doesn't have to be just the knowledge of a foreign language, if you are good in math, or physics or astronomy you can create a stream of income using that knowledge online. There are plenty of websites that offer online tutoring services, most of them are for language tutoring but some of them are expanding offering everything from math to chemistry.

So what is this all about, how can you earn money there? Well these websites are like freelancing websites, but they are only focused on offering tutoring.

What these websites do is that they connect a person in need of tutoring with a tutor.
So what you need to do is go to one of the many websites that offer online tutoring like MyPLT, Wyzant or word2word and create an online profile.
You need to note your special skills, your experience and how you can contribute to a person.

After all, you are not applying to do an easy job, you are applying to be a tutor, you will teach someone how to speak a foreign language or how to solve a math problem, so you have to know how to handle that. Being a tutor requires more than just knowing a language, I mean I can speak 4 languages, but I simply can't teach someone else how to speak them. That is the difference between most people like me who know certain things, and people like online tutors who can pass that knowledge onto someone. So if you think you can do that you will have your chance soon enough.
There are plenty of people in need of a tutor and you will be contacted soon enough to offer your services, which is when you will know for sure if you are made for this type of job or not.

If your first tutoring lesson goes well you can create your online portfolio, offer your services on several of these websites and gradually increase your price per lesson until you get the income you always wanted. It's like building any other business you can imagine, it takes time and patience and it takes a solid amount of returning customers.
But in this type of business that is not hard to achieve at all, if you have what to take to teach someone.
