Teacher and Tutor

If you've got skills so mad that you can take somebody to school, then you can make money online by offering your teaching and tutoring services.

5. Skillshare

Skillshare is such a popular option to make money online by teaching, that even actor James Franco jumped in the bandwagon with a 15-video lesson on screenwriting for short films. Heck, even famous marketing whiz Steve Godin offers not one but two courses.

Other examples of classes you can create to make some side money include:

6. Wyzant

I cannot tell you how to pronounce the company name, but I can tell you from personal experience that Wyzant is pretty neat. This tutoring search engine matches students with over 75,000 tutors in in hundreds of subjects, such as math, science, test prep, and foreign languages.

The site is great for new and experienced tutors to expand their client base without spending any money on advertising. Most Wyzant tutors set their hourly rate between $30 to $60. Keep in mind that the site keeps 40% of your payment until you become an established tutor. However, Wyzant does offer several incentives to boost your earnings. For example, they often run promos during which you keep 95% of your payments when referring new students to the platform.

7. Tutor. com

Unilke Wyzant, Tutor. com focuses on online tutoring. Since you meet with your students on an online room, you are required to have a good computer and a reliable Internet connection. Another important difference from Wyzant is that Tutor. com offers you a minimum average of five hours per week, which is important for teachers looking for more steady income. As a sample of potential income, Tutor. com claims that its most active Chemistry tutors earn anywhere from $800 to $1,600 a month.
