Potential earnings: $15,000-$45,000
Typical fees: $25-$45 per hour

Advertising: School boards, Yellow Pages,
local newspapers

Qualifications: Degree in

The Facts:
Communication, organization, and the ability to
juggle several things at once are needed in this field.
Your job will be to set up the school curriculum and
schedule classes for parents who seek to teach their
children at home instead of in public (or even private)
schools. You could possibly consult for a parent who
doesn’t want the child in the school system for religious
or intellectual reasons, or whose child has to be out
of school for a long period of time due to illness or
injury. If you are establishing a new curriculum,
you will need the ability to evaluate the child’s
skill level. If you are helping the student who is out
for a long period, you will have to communicate with
their original school on a regular basis.
