Why Online Tutors Are in Such High Demand in K-12 Districts

Are you looking for a flexible, fulfilling, and convenient part-time job? Learn why online tutors are in such high demand in K-12 districts and explore why online tutoirng may be the perfect fit for you!

Online tutoring allows you to use your knowledge and skills to help struggling students learn and achieve academically while enjoying some amazing benefits. Here are five reasons why online tutoring makes for an excellent part-time job.

1. Set your own schedule

Tutors on Pear Deck Tutor (formerly, TutorMe) can work as often or as little as they like. Because TutorMe offers on-demand online tutoring, scheduling sessions with students in advance is not necessary. Instead, you simply log into the platform, make yourself available, and students will be able to connect with you in real time.

If you work best on a set schedule, you can certainly create a tutoring schedule that works for you. For example, if you want to work every weeknight from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., Pear Deck Tutor can accommodate this schedule.

Some people may wish to use Pear Deck Tutor more sporadically, squeezing in tutoring time whenever they have some free time. Online tutoring is very flexible, giving you greater control over your time management and work-life balance.

Our flexible create-your-own scheduling is ideal for college students, working parents looking for a side hustle, stay-at-home moms or dads, retired educators, and professional tutors who enjoy the flexibility of an online tutoring platform.

2. Work from home (Or wherever you want!)

Working from home is one of the most appealing advantages of online tutoring. You never have to worry about getting to work on time, slogging through rush hour traffic, or dealing with unpleasant coworkers. That's a lot of extra stress that you're eliminating from your day! You'll be able to save money on gas and other commuting costs, too.

When you tutor online, it's just you and your computer in a comfortable, familiar environment. This added comfort is empowering. When you feel good in your home workplace, you're more productive.

Home is not the only place tutors on our platform can work from. Any location is fine as long as you have a quiet environment and access to a computer and the internet. For instance, you can work from a study room in the library. You can work from your friend's guest room. You can even work from your car if you have internet access and the surrounding noises aren't too distracting.

Make yourself comfortable, put on a smile, and log on for a great tutoring session wherever you work best!

3. Enjoy a better work-life balance

Because tutors on Pear Deck Tutor can work whenever and wherever they like, your work-life balance is easier to maintain. Work whenever you feel the most productive.

If you have a sudden emergency at home, such as a broken water line or a sick child to care for, there's no need to call your workplace to secure the much-needed time-off. There are no sick days to keep track of, so you can take a much-needed vacation at a moment’s notice or work steadily day-after-day if you prefer.

An ideal work-life balance allows you to prioritize your life in ways that benefit you and your family. You can reduce stress, improve your physical and mental health, and make changes to your life when necessary.

Working from home part-time may also allow you to focus on your family more. With the right part-time job, you may find time to learn a hobby that you've always wanted to try. If you have a full-time job, Pear Deck Tutor's flexible scheduling allows you to keep your main focus on that job while still giving you an opportunity to earn extra income.

4. Earn steady income on a weekly basis

Tutors on Pear Deck Tutor enjoy weekly payments from their part-time job. It's also easy to earn money on Pear Deck Tutor. You don't need to count your hours, send an invoice, or calculate how much we owe you. Our platform is designed to keep track of everything for you so you can get paid on time every week.

Our weekly payments provide economic stability when you need it most. You will always know what day your payments will be deposited into your account. Let Pear Deck Tutor take care of your payday so you can concentrate on doing what you love to do!

5. We make tutoring easy

Independent tutors who do not use an online tutoring platform usually need to advertise their services so they can find enough students to earn income. Pear Deck Tutor eliminates that side of the business! We curate tutoring requests for you. All you have to do is log in to the platform and make yourself available. You'll be able to browse relevant tutoring session requests from students across the nation.

Our innovative and easy-to-use Lesson Space features cutting-edge learning tools to make tutor-student collaboration easy and engaging. You can use live audio and video chat, screen sharing tools, a virtual whiteboard, text editor, code editor, and more to work through assignments.

Pear Deck Tutor is so flexible that you can work from anywhere as long as you can access a computer and the internet. You set your own tutoring hours, and have complete control over how often you work.
