Many students who study abroad need financial support, so they have to look for a job, which is a rather difficult task, especially for girls. The reason for this is lack of experience, language skills, competition, pandemic, etc. What to do in this case?
One of the best ways to make money are online platforms, where students can teach different subjects such as languages, programming, physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, etc.
A living example is the Tajik student of a German university – Zevar Hoshimova.
After living in Germany for a couple of months, Zevar could not find a job for a long time, as all establishments were closed due to the pandemic. Since there was enough free time from studying, Zevar began to actively look for a part-time job as a tutor, as she has good knowledge of exact sciences and languages, thanks to her education at one of the best schools in Dushanbe, the Tajik Turkish Haji-Kemal High school.
Due to the fact that many organizations started working remotely, this meant that the chances of finding a job were too small. But one day, one of her friends suggested her to submit her documents to an online platform that was looking for a teacher for additional classes with schoolchildren. This was one of the best options, since the work was remote.
Zevar submitted documents, passed tests and interviews, and was hired as a math and English teacher for schoolchildren. Agree, a great job, so she didn’t have to go anywhere, and she had students from different countries of the world. It was a good experience for her, she met many people and even after the end of the course they continue to communicate.
In the summer, Zevar came to Tajikistan for vacation, but despite this she continued to teach and have additional income.
According to Zevar’s experience, anyone can start working as a tutor if they have desires, good knowledge and skills in this area.
Of course, you need to master the programs on which online lessons will be conducted. One of the most convenient platforms is ZOOM, but in order to work on it, you will need to buy a package (monthly or annual, the teacher decides), since when using the platform for free for more than 40 minutes (session), it is disabled. And another important point is the availability of high-speed Internet, which will allow lessons to be conducted at a good level without interruptions.
Advantages of online tutoring:
- Firstly, there is no need to rent a class for classes, go to a student’s home.
- Secondly, it is possible to conduct group sessions, despite the period of a pandemic or other types of restrictions.
- Thirdly, it is convenient for both students and teachers, it saves time and money that can be spent on transportation costs.
- Fourthly, students can be attracted from all over the world, the main thing is to be able to present knowledge with high quality and competently and have experience in working on a computer.
