surviving the recession

If you are a college graduate or are currently enrolled in college and live in the USA or Canada, and have a good knowledge of English, Mathematics or the sciences, you can earn online tutoring students in grade 4-12 with Tutor.com.  They are particularly interested in tutors for Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra, Physics and Chemistry.

When you register with them, you will need to fill out an application form, and sit a series of tests/exams so that they can acertain that you really know your subject. They will also do background tests on you. They do not charge to become a tutor in their system.

Once enrolled as a tutor, you choose the hours you work from a minimum five hours a week to thirty hours a week. Payment is either made by cheque or by bank transfer.

If you fit the criteria, this might be a way of earning some extra money online. Note that I am not connected with them in anyway, and they do not have a referral program.
