Flexible, work from home
Become an Online Tutor and Teach Coding from Home
If you know computer science or data science well and like explaining it, you can tutor FavTutor students online, choose your own hours, and get paid every week. Here is what the work involves, what you can earn, and how to apply.
We are looking to build an exceptional team of world class talent
With a years of collective experience, we ensure that we hire the best tutors to continue our lineage. If you are committed to teaching subjects like Computer Science and Data Science, and ready to go through a stringent screening process, we will surely be a match. And ohh, stand a chance to get paid up to $13 per hour from the comfort of your home.
What you actually do as a FavTutor tutor
You work one to one with students who are stuck on computer science or data science coursework. Most sessions run 45 minutes to an hour over chat and video, and you take the ones that fit your schedule, so you decide how busy you get.
A typical session is simple. The student shares their problem and any code or assignment brief, you find where they are stuck, and you guide them to the answer step by step. The best tutors explain the reasoning so the student can solve the next problem on their own. Most sessions are booked in advance, though some students need urgent help right before a deadline.
The basics
Up to $13 / hour
Your pay rate for live tutoring.
Weekly payouts
Paid every week by PayPal or bank transfer.
Your own hours
Pick the sessions and times that suit you.
Fully online
One to one sessions from anywhere you like.
What you can realistically earn
Pay is up to $13 per hour, sent every week through PayPal or bank transfer. Your total depends on how many hours you teach and how much demand there is for your subjects. As a rough guide, teaching 10 hours a week comes to about $130 a week. There is no fixed salary, so this works best if you want flexible, pay per session work rather than set hours.
Is becoming a tutor right for you?
It is a strong fit if you:
- Know one or more CS or data science subjects well enough to explain them simply
- Stay patient and clear when a student is confused
- Want remote work you can fit around studies or a job
- Are comfortable with pay per session rather than a fixed salary
If you need guaranteed hours or a steady monthly paycheck, this probably is not the right fit, since the work depends on student demand.
What you need to apply
- A degree or solid proven experience in Computer Science or Data Science
- Clear communication in English
- A laptop or desktop with a working webcam and mic
- A reliable internet connection
