Teach Summer School or Tutor: Which Pays More?
Does it pay more to teach summer school or tutor?
When I first started teaching, I didn’t understand how teachers could say no to summer school. The money seemed so good! Four years into teaching summer school, I realized why other teachers were saying no. Your summer is taken up, the pay isn’t great and you just need a break! When I started tutoring, I realized I could have control over my schedule and my income. Keep on reading because I’m going to break down which one pays more: teaching summer school or tutoring!
Work less hours and make more money tutoring
Once you do the math, you’ll quickly realize you can work less hours tutoring than teaching summer school
Not all school districts pay the same for summer school. My district has held steady at $27.00 per hour. Once I started making a lot more than that per hour during the regular school year, I quickly realized that I could work way less hours tutoring and make the same amount of money teaching summer school. Autonomy over my schedule was the driving force and realizing I could charge what I was truly worth as a highly qualified teacher.
