Use your skills - become a tutor!


I have often read of moms who have set aside their careers when their children were born. Instead of putting their kids in daycare or dropping them off at Grandma's, they opted to stay home and invest their time and energy in their kids.

That is the best investment they could ever make.

HOWEVER, conversation with a toddler tends not to be intellectually stimulating. Before the mom invested in her kids, she may very well have invested in a college degree or other business training, and she might miss the challenges of those days.

She might also miss the income she once made!

So how can she put those skills to good use while still being able to spend time with her family?

Become a tutor! I think this is a great way to combine hard-earned marketable skills with being a stay-at-home mom.

Somewhere "out there" are people struggling to learn what she has already mastered. This mom has valuable and marketable skills that others will pay her to teach them! This can be done in the home or online and is a great opportunity for moms and others to earn income from home.


So what subjects could you tutor? How about


  • All subjects taught in school
    A foreign language, or English as a second language
    Any type of Sport
    Any type of musical instrument
    Voice lessons
    Reading (Children and Adults)
    College Entrance Exams
    Computers (The senior citizen market is a great area to tap into)
    All types of art
