Many people think that teachers have one of the easiest jobs in the world. They have an early end to their workday and also enjoy complete summer vacations, right? The truth is that they’re some of the hardest workers you’ll encounter out there. Being an educator takes away more time than just standing in front of the students as teachers also draft lesson plans and meet with administrators and parents regularly.
Teaching professionals are massively essential to a well-functioning society. It’s an unfortunate truth that the majority of them still aren’t paid what they deserve. It’s then no wonder that many teachers are on the lookout for side hustles that can bring extra money into their pockets. If you’re one of them, this post is for you.
Below are some of the best side hustles for teachers in which they can earn using their specialized skills as educators:
1. Private Tutoring
The most common option for teachers to make extra money is to use their knowledge on certain subjects to do one-to-one private tutoring, or teach small groups during the weekends or weekday evenings.
To start with private tutoring, you can offer help to neighbors or friends. It’s also a good idea to advertise your services to your local community through online forums like Facebook groups.
2. Become an ESL (English as a Secondary Language) Teacher
The demand for learning how to speak English is high throughout the world. As an experienced teacher, you’re in an excellent position to become an online teacher for ESL and other subjects and earn extra money.
Teaching English as a secondary language is a side hustle that you can easily do at home during your free time. Most of your students will likely be from South Korea, China, and other Asian countries. Depending on the platform you’re in, the teaching sessions may be for groups of students or one-on-one.
3. Make Money Out of Your Teaching Materials
Did you know that sharing the lesson materials you’ve created online can earn you money? Yes, you heard it right
