1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,200
Hey everyone, ever thought about maybe trying out online tutoring?

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:05,040
Yeah.

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,140
It seems like it could be a pretty cool side hustle,

4
00:00:07,140 --> 00:00:09,720
or even like a full on career change, you know?

5
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:10,560
Definitely.

6
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,840
Or even if you're just curious about like what it even is.

7
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,520
Today's deep dive is for you.

8
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,560
We're gonna be checking out this YouTube video

9
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,000
called Eight Online Tutoring Jobs to Work from Home.

10
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:23,840
Interesting.

11
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,080
And it says beginner friendly, which is nice.

12
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:26,920
Yeah, for sure.

13
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:28,640
And this is from Superhuman's Life.

14
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:29,480
Okay, cool.

15
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,120
We're gonna be taking like a deep dive

16
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,600
into all these different platforms that are out there.

17
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,400
And seeing like what they have to offer,

18
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,920
how they compare, and like what really stands out

19
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:39,920
about each one.

20
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:40,760
Sounds good.

21
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,920
So it's amazing to me how many platforms

22
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,120
there actually are out there.

23
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:44,960
It really is.

24
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,880
Like it's not just about teaching English anymore.

25
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,880
You can teach like anything from English to kids in China

26
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:55,600
to like helping someone pass their college calculus exam.

27
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:56,440
Really?

28
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:57,280
It's crazy.

29
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,240
That is pretty wild.

30
00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,960
Everything's happening online these days.

31
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:02,000
It really is a diverse landscape.

32
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:02,840
Yeah.

33
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:03,880
And what I think is really fascinating

34
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,320
is how this all kind of reflects

35
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:10,400
a much broader shift we're seeing in education overall.

36
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,920
And we're moving beyond the traditional classroom.

37
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,040
And like embracing this more personalized

38
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,280
on demand approach to learning.

39
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,480
That's really cool.

40
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,120
So the video highlights eight different platforms.

41
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:22,960
Okay.

42
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:23,800
VIP kid.

43
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:24,640
Mm-hmm.

44
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,080
Family kids.

45
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,280
Magic years.

46
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:28,120
Got it.

47
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,280
Howl,

48
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,520
Reply,

49
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:31,360
Italki,

50
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,200
Okay.

51
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,120
And Chegg.

52
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:33,960
That's a lot.

53
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:34,800
It is a lot.

54
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:35,640
It is.

55
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,760
But it's really nice to see them all side by side like that.

56
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:38,600
Right.

57
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,520
Cause then you can really highlight the key differences.

58
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:41,360
Yeah.

59
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:42,760
For example, you'll see a cluster

60
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,920
that's focused on teaching English to Chinese students.

61
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:46,760
Oh yeah.

62
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,080
Like VIP kids,

63
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:48,920
Kids.

64
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:49,760
Right.

65
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:50,600
And magic years.

66
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,440
Yeah.

67
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:52,760
And they each have their own like little quirks.

68
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:53,600
They do.

69
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,200
Like kids, they provide all the curriculum.

70
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,040
Oh wow.

71
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,200
They have a huge time saver.

72
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,240
Plus they have these like cartoon teaching assistants.

73
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,080
What?

74
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,960
Imagine that like getting help from a cartoon.

75
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:04,920
Oh, that's gotta be fun.

76
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:05,960
It's pretty cool.

77
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:06,800
Yeah.

78
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,680
I mean those cartoons are more than just cute visuals though,

79
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:09,520
right?

80
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,360
Oh yeah.

81
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,200
Definitely.

82
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,760
Like they're strategically designed to really engage

83
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:13,760
those young learners.

84
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:14,600
Right.

85
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,440
And make the lessons a lot more interactive.

86
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:17,280
Yeah.

87
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,360
Kids really understands that keeping a kid's attention online

88
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,200
Yeah.

89
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,040
is totally different.

90
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:23,880
Right.

91
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:24,840
Than like a traditional classroom.

92
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:25,680
It's exactly.

93
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:26,760
So you gotta have a different approach.

94
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,640
But what about those of us who like aren't certified teachers?

95
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:31,840
Oh yeah. Good question.

96
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,520
Are we just like out of luck?

97
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:34,520
No. Not at all.

98
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:35,680
Okay. Good.

99
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,040
Cambly is a great example of a platform

100
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,720
that doesn't require any teaching certifications.

101
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:41,560
Really?

102
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,400
Yeah.

103
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,280
They prioritize conversational English practice.

104
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,240
Oh cool.

105
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,120
So it's perfect if you're a native speaker

106
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,880
with strong communication skills.

107
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:49,720
Oh.

108
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,120
So it's more about like actually speaking the language.

109
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:52,960
Right.

110
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:53,800
Exactly.

111
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,520
Not necessarily teaching the technicalities of it.

112
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,720
Yeah. So if you're looking to like dip your toes

113
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,560
into tutoring.

114
00:02:58,560 --> 00:02:59,400
Yeah.

115
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,440
Without like a ton of upfront requirements.

116
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,280
Yeah.

117
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,720
Cambly might be a good place to start.

118
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:04,560
That makes sense.

119
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:05,400
Yeah.

120
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,240
Okay.

121
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,080
So it's all about finding the right fit

122
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,560
for like your experience and your goals.

123
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:09,400
Right.

124
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,520
And speaking of which.

125
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:11,360
Yeah.

126
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,800
One key thing to think about is like

127
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,120
the balance between flexibility and earning potential.

128
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,480
Oh, that's a good point.

129
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:19,320
Yeah.

130
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,320
Like platforms with lower barriers to entry.

131
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,160
Yeah.

132
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,000
Like Cambly.

133
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:24,840
Right.

134
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:25,800
So they might have more flexibility.

135
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:26,640
Okay.

136
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:28,200
But they might also have lower payweights.

137
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,040
That makes sense.

138
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,840
Whereas platforms like Magic Ears

139
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,120
which requires a bachelor's degree coaching experience.

140
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:34,960
Oh wow.

141
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,000
They might have a much more rigorous application process.

142
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,080
Yeah.

143
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,800
But they also offer higher earning potential.

144
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:42,640
Right.

145
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:43,480
So it's like.

146
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,320
Like choosing the right tool for the job.

147
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:45,160
Yeah.

148
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,120
You wouldn't use a hammer to screw in a light bulb would you?

149
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,160
Definitely not.

150
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,000
No.

151
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,400
So it's about figuring out what's most important to you.

152
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:52,240
Exactly.

153
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,960
Is it like the flexibility and like the ease of entry?

154
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,640
Or is it maximizing your earning potential

155
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,040
like right from the start?

156
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,760
And then if you're thinking beyond just teaching English.

157
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:03,600
Yeah.

158
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,520
Pre-Ply and I talk you open up a whole world of possibilities.

159
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,360
Well, yeah.

160
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,640
Pre-Ply is all about language learning

161
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,160
but it's not just English.

162
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,000
You know.

163
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:11,840
You can teach any language.

164
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:12,680
That's awesome.

165
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,800
And connect with students from all over the globe.

166
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:15,640
Wow.

167
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,840
It's like a United Nations of language learning.

168
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:18,680
I love that.

169
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,520
And what's interesting about Pre-Ply is that

170
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,280
while they take a commission from each lesson.

171
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:25,240
They claim that their top tutors

172
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,360
can earn around $550 per wint.

173
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:29,440
Really?

174
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,480
That gives you an idea of the earning potential

175
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,520
if you can like build a really strong student base.

176
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:36,360
That's pretty impressive.

177
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,360
It is impressive.

178
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,200
Wow.

179
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,280
And then italki seems to have like a different vibe.

180
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:42,120
Yeah.

181
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,680
The video mentions that tutors actually set their own rates.

182
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:46,520
Oh wow.

183
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,520
Which could be great for experienced teachers

184
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,000
or those with like niche expertise.

185
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:51,840
Absolutely.

186
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:55,440
And italki also distinguishes between community tutors

187
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,840
and professional teachers.

188
00:04:56,840 --> 00:04:57,680
Oh yeah.

189
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:58,600
I was wondering about that.

190
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,120
What's the difference?

191
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,960
So a community tutor profile is for people

192
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,120
who maybe don't have formal teaching qualifications.

193
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,040
Okay.

194
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,280
But they have a passion for sharing their language skills.

195
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:12,120
Right.

196
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,480
So think of it as like a more informal

197
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,040
conversational approach to teaching.

198
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,560
Okay. So it's kind of like having a language exchange

199
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,280
partner but with a bit more structure.

200
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:23,120
Yeah.

201
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,200
And maybe focus on specific learning goals.

202
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,040
Exactly.

203
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:26,880
Okay.

204
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:27,720
On the other hand,

205
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,480
professional teacher profiles are for those who like

206
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,040
actually have certified teaching credentials.

207
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,120
Oh okay.

208
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,160
They often offer more structured, less than specialized

209
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,000
courses.

210
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:37,840
Okay.

211
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:39,040
And they might charge higher rates

212
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,520
because of their experience and qualifications.

213
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:42,880
So it's like a tiered system.

214
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:43,720
Exactly.

215
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,520
That caters to all different types of learners

216
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:46,480
and teaching styles.

217
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:47,320
Yeah, precisely.

218
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,280
And Itaki's model provides options for both casual learners

219
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:53,200
and those seeking more formal instruction.

220
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,040
Right.

221
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,720
So it really broadens their appeal.

222
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:56,560
Got it.

223
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,960
But if we're talking about a truly diverse platform,

224
00:05:58,960 --> 00:05:59,800
Okay.

225
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:00,640
You gotta talk about CHEG.

226
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,160
CHEG is like the wild card in this mix.

227
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,000
It really is.

228
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,480
It's not just about languages.

229
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:06,320
No.

230
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,960
They offer tutoring in everything from biology to business.

231
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:10,800
Wow.

232
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,440
They cater to all ages, even working professionals.

233
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,160
I love that you call it a wild card.

234
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,000
Yeah.

235
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,720
It really shakes up the traditional image

236
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:18,800
of online tutoring.

237
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:19,640
Yeah.

238
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,360
What's really interesting is that despite covering

239
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,320
such a vast range of subjects,

240
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,160
Yeah.

241
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,400
CHEG still boasts a competitive earning potential.

242
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,240
Really?

243
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,080
Yeah.

244
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,400
The video mentions tutors earning around $20 an hour.

245
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:32,600
That's amazing.

246
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:33,440
Yeah.

247
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,080
So it seems like CHEG could be a great option

248
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,920
for those of us with expertise outside of the traditional

249
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,080
language teaching realm.

250
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:39,920
Exactly.

251
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,720
Imagine you could be teaching someone advanced calculus

252
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,360
or helping them write a business plan all from your home office.

253
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,320
That's so cool.

254
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,880
That's pretty awesome.

255
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,000
And that brings up an important point for you, the listener.

256
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,320
With so many options available,

257
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,720
it's crucial to consider what you bring to the table.

258
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,560
What are your skills, your passions,

259
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,440
your areas of expertise.

260
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,280
Wait.

261
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:04,120
Yeah.

262
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:04,960
It's like we're building a tutor profile

263
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:05,880
like right here on the spot.

264
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:06,720
Right.

265
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,440
But skills and passions aside,

266
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,600
there's the whole practical side to this too.

267
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:12,440
That's for sure.

268
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,880
How tech savvy do you need to be to even teach online?

269
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,160
That's a great question.

270
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,040
Yeah.

271
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,440
And it is definitely something to consider.

272
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,720
Like all these platforms, they rely on video conferencing,

273
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,680
digital whiteboards, maybe even some interactive tools,

274
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,000
depending on what subject you're teaching.

275
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,560
So yeah, being comfortable with technology is essential.

276
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,280
OK, so basic computer skills are a must.

277
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,080
Definitely.

278
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,600
But it sounds like some platforms might even require you

279
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,680
to learn their specific software or tools.

280
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:45,200
Exactly.

281
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,800
And some platforms offer more training and support than others.

282
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:49,320
Oh.

283
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,160
So if you're not super tech savvy,

284
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,720
that might be something to consider when you're picking a platform.

285
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:56,360
I got it.

286
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,320
It's like Q-Kids, where they're provided curriculum

287
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:00,560
and those cartoon assistants.

288
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,000
They're like the easy bake oven of online tutoring platforms.

289
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,040
OK, I love that analogy.

290
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,560
So Q-Kids might be good for someone

291
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,440
who wants more of a structured plug and play

292
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:12,080
approach.

293
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:12,960
Right, exactly.

294
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,600
But what if you're like someone who

295
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:20,360
thrives on creating their own content and setting their own pace?

296
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,800
Then a platform like Italki, where

297
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,720
you have way more control over your curriculum and your pricing,

298
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,160
that might be a better fit for you.

299
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:28,680
Got it.

300
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,320
It's more like you're being given a fully equipped kitchen.

301
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:31,880
Yeah.

302
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,800
And being told to whip up your own culinary masterpiece.

303
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:35,640
That's a good one.

304
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,040
Yeah.

305
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,440
So it's all about finding that right level of structure

306
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,160
versus creative freedom.

307
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:40,760
Right.

308
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,720
And speaking of freedom, another thing to think about

309
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,440
is the application process.

310
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:45,520
Oh, yeah, true.

311
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,280
Some platforms are way more stripped than others.

312
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,920
Like how VIP kid requires teachers

313
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,560
to be from the US or Canada.

314
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:53,200
Exactly.

315
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:53,680
OK.

316
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:56,000
Platforms catering to younger students,

317
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,120
especially in the Chinese market.

318
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,400
They tend to have more stringent requirements.

319
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:00,920
Yeah.

320
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,960
Because they want to make sure the quality and safety

321
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,720
of their teaching environment is top notch.

322
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:06,840
That makes total sense.

323
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,160
Yeah, you're dealing with kids.

324
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:08,800
Yeah.

325
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,080
Parents want to know that their kids are in good hands.

326
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:11,760
Oh, they're back.

327
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,280
Even in a virtual setting.

328
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:14,080
Right.

329
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,600
So magic years, for example, not only requires a bachelor's

330
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,320
degree, but also teaching experience.

331
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:21,400
Wow.

332
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:22,600
And a neutral accent.

333
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:23,120
Wow.

334
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,360
They really are attracting a more experienced pool of tutors.

335
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,240
It seems like it.

336
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:27,800
Yeah.

337
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,080
But that doesn't mean beginners should be discouraged.

338
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,600
No, definitely not.

339
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,560
Platforms like Cambly with their more relaxed entry

340
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:38,480
requirements can be a great way to just like get your feet wet.

341
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:39,200
For sure.

342
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,800
It's about finding the right starting point for your journey.

343
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:42,880
That's a good way to put it.

344
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:43,160
Yeah.

345
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,120
And remember, even if you don't have formal teaching

346
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:51,320
credentials, you might have valuable skills or knowledge

347
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,120
in like a really specific area.

348
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:53,680
Right.

349
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:57,320
And platforms like Chegg with its diverse range of subjects

350
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,840
are perfect for sharing those unique skills.

351
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:00,200
Yeah.

352
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,560
It's like everyone has something to teach.

353
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:03,200
I think so.

354
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:03,440
Yeah.

355
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,040
You could be a coding whiz, a history buff, music theory

356
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:07,560
expert.

357
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:08,200
Right.

358
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,720
Whatever your passion is, there's probably someone out there

359
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,040
who wants to learn from you.

360
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:12,760
Definitely.

361
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,800
And that kind of brings us to the bigger picture,

362
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,520
like the why behind online tutoring.

363
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:18,200
OK, that's important.

364
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,360
The video focused on the how, the practical steps

365
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:22,680
to finding these jobs.

366
00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:23,200
Yeah.

367
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,240
But it's equally important to consider your motivations.

368
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,080
For sure.

369
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,560
This is where things get really interesting for our listeners.

370
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:29,960
Yeah.

371
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,920
Is it the flexibility to work from anywhere?

372
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,840
Is it the financial freedom of setting your own hours and rates?

373
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:37,200
Yeah.

374
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,640
Or maybe it's about sharing your passion for a subject.

375
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:41,320
Oh, yeah.

376
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,600
And connecting with students from all over the world.

377
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:44,400
That's a good one.

378
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:45,080
Yeah.

379
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,160
It could be a combination of all those things.

380
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,480
It probably is for most people.

381
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:48,880
Yeah.

382
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,240
The beauty of online tutoring is that it can cater

383
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,320
to a variety of motivations.

384
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,080
What stands out to you as the most compelling reason

385
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,680
to become an online tutor?

386
00:10:58,680 --> 00:10:59,520
Yeah.

387
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,120
It's a really personal journey.

388
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:01,400
Yeah.

389
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,160
And that makes me think about the video we're diving into.

390
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:04,680
Uh-huh.

391
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:08,320
Like, it lays out all the steps to find these tutoring gigs.

392
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:09,560
Right.

393
00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:13,520
But it doesn't really dig into the emotional side of it.

394
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:14,320
I see what you mean.

395
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,600
Like, the practical steps.

396
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:17,720
Those are important.

397
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,720
But the why is really what fuels your passion

398
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:22,920
and what keeps you going.

399
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,000
For sure, especially when you hit those challenges.

400
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:25,720
Exactly.

401
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,440
So for those of you listening right now,

402
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,200
what sparks your interest in online tutoring in the first place?

403
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,600
Yeah, good question.

404
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,000
Are you looking for a creative outlet?

405
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:36,640
Mm-hmm.

406
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,360
A way to connect with people who share your interests?

407
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:40,720
Right.

408
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,280
Or maybe you have some specialized knowledge

409
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,440
that you're just dying a pass on.

410
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,560
Or perhaps you're drawn to the idea

411
00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:50,000
of making a real difference in someone's life.

412
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:50,480
Yeah.

413
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,320
Even from miles away.

414
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,120
That's awesome.

415
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:53,320
Yeah.

416
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,160
Those are all such powerful motivators.

417
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,040
They really are.

418
00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:00,000
And I think that's what makes this whole deep dive so fascinating.

419
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,160
We've gone from exploring the nuts and bolts of these platforms

420
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:09,400
to uncovering this deeper why behind online teaching.

421
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,400
It's like we peeled back the layers.

422
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:11,960
Yeah.

423
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,800
And revealed the heart of the matter.

424
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,080
I like that.

425
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,360
And that brings us back to you, dear listener.

426
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:17,960
OK.

427
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,440
We've explored eight different platforms.

428
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:21,040
We have.

429
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,480
Each with its own personality and approach.

430
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:24,400
For sure.

431
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,800
We talked about flexibility versus earning potential,

432
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,280
the importance of technology.

433
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:29,960
Yeah.

434
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,040
And different levels of structure versus creative freedom.

435
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,520
It's a lot to think about.

436
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:35,480
It is.

437
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,400
But ultimately, the best platform for you

438
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,920
is going to be the one that aligns with your own unique goals.

439
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:42,320
Right.

440
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:43,160
Your skills.

441
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:43,720
Yeah.

442
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:44,920
And most importantly, your why.

443
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:45,720
Your why.

444
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,080
Yeah.

445
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,640

And dive a little deeper into the platforms

449
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:56,800
that sparked your interest.

450
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:57,040
Yeah.

451
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:57,840
Go for it.

452
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,080
And remember, the world of online tutoring

453
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,680
is constantly evolving.

454
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:02,320
It really is.

455
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:03,920
New platforms are popping up.

456
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:04,420
Yeah.

457
00:13:04,420 --> 00:13:06,000
Technology is always advancing.

458
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:06,400
Right.

459
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,640
And the demand for personalized learning is only growing.

460
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:10,200
It is.

461
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,440
So whether you're a seasoned educator, a subject matter

462
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,600
expert, or just starting out, there's

463
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,760
a place for you in this exciting digital landscape.

464
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:19,240
Definitely.

465
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,320
The key is to stay curious.

466
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:21,800
Yeah.

467
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,480
Embrace the learning process.

468
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:23,720
Right.

469
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,920
And never be afraid to try something new.

470
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:26,560
I agree.

471
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:27,160
Who knows?

472
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,760
You might even discover a passion you never knew you had.

473
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:30,480
You never know.

474
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,680
And maybe, just maybe, you'll find yourself sharing your story

475
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:35,840
on a future episode of the deep dive.

476
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:36,920
That would be awesome.

477
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,000
Until then, keep diving deep into the world of knowledge

478
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:58,760
and happy tutoring.
