Your guide to a career in online tutoring

New Delhi, Jun 13 : Gone are the days when tuition classes meant long hours after school with a bespectacled, cane-wielding tutor, for tutorials are now available on the Internet and tutors today are smart and tech-savvy.

Anushree holds a Bachelors degree in Science. She teaches Biology to a student in the UAE via video conferencing. Just a couple of hours a day, and Anushree can earn as much as Rs 10-15,000 a month.


“Timings are flexible and there are no geographical boundaries. I can pursue something else alongside,” Anushree says explaining the job benfits.

It may not sound glamorous enough, but e-tutoring is a booming industry, with students from UK, USA, UAE and India logging on to seek help with their Math and Science homework.

And as schoolteacher Deepika, who’s also a part time e-tutor, explains, a huge advantage of the job is that you can work with an e-tutoring company either on a full-time or part time basis.

“Neither the students nor I have to travel. It’s the same as teaching one-on-one as both the audio and visual elements are there,” she explains.
