As title, how to look for customers to hire me as freelance tuition teacher with most profit belongs to me than agent/tuition center? I heard the common mode is to have teacher goes to the student's family and teach one-on-one or other students of the same family. I also heard there is a website functions solely to broker this kind of deals. I have no one to ask other than here so please share anything, your experience (firs , second-hand) as customer or teacher. Even words of the streets and rumors are welcomed. Thanks in advance.


My situation: I am broke, i am fucked, i dont have other skills other than studying which is not that good also. I have bad attitude, poor-stress handling and generally lazy and useless. So i am thinking maybe freelance job suits me and the money can tide me over the period looking for other more "easy" jobs especially from government.

If you are really like how you say you are then are you sure you can be a tutor? What if you start fighting with your student?

There’s an app/website called Tuition Hero Malaysia.

They’re basically a platform that allows freelance tutors to look for jobs and for people to post requests for tuition

First off, there is no such thing as a tuition teacher

Sure there are English language teachers, Math teachers, History teachers.

I believe what you are referring to is a tutor.

Secondly, if you are as what you say you are, then I feel sorry for you.

No one can help you except you yourself.

If you want to be successful in life, you need to develop discipline, confidence and high esteem. These are essential to building character before you build your life.

Good luck.

Thanks for helping me and thanks for kutuk me, i should have force myself to recognize my threatening shortcomings and overcome them.

@GreenSamurai
I have patience i guess if the students want to study, i dont mind he/she is slow as long as he/she wants to learn. I wont fight with my students because they are students and i am very weak.

@Dr Jan Itor
thanks

@Justin Jack$on
Sciene and maybe math. I am confident with upto SPM level. Zero, but i share and explain notes to my uni classmates

@SuperTuhan
thanks, it is a very good plan with progression

@Captain89
thanks for the info. The price of doing business seems reasonable

@ipohmali70
thanks for teaching me

@cedyy

Teaching requires lots of patience, and if you don't have that, you shouldn't be teaching.

Plus you mentioned that you're lazy and not so useful, how would you prepare yourself for the student(s)?

Everyone knows how to teach but the point is what makes you stand out/better than other tutor that’s competing with you in the same market?

Having good spm doesn't mean you can teach spm level

I wouldn't want someone like you within 10 feet of my kids let alone let you teach them

Stop trying to look for cheap way out of your miserable life. If you want to be a loser pls do it without bringing trouble to others ie teach student

you're broke, you're fucked, and you have poor stress management.

i think u should go work in the city, with fresh grad pay + no OT pay. You will get the feel of the real world and you will have no choice but slowly learn from there.

With the kind of behavioral traits you've highlighted, I don't think you should be around children.

You can't handle a job, I don't know how you handle freelancing to be honest.
