It was easy to control what clients i worked with and maintain a stable work schedule. As well as having a part time job i was also able to do freelance work on the side which ended up equaling the same amount of funds i made from the part time job over a period of a few months
What I wish was different
More clients as well as more networking. It is great to get a few clients but they are often few and far between. I wish networking and making sure clients are able to see my work and work-ethic was easier to access. More clients means more money so pretty easy to see why that would be beneficial.
Advice
Make sure you are easy to get a hold of and that you respond to clients quickly and coherently

Math Tutor
August 2016 - May 2019 • Lodi, CA
What I liked
I enjoyed helping students learn the subject. Math doesn't always come easy for people so helping them and watching them grow throughout the year was the most rewarding aspect. They always showed their gratitude after doing well on a test or having a good grade in class.
What I wish was different
Some students weren't so eager to get the tutoring. I wish students would understand that putting in a little more effort to learn the basics will help them in the future.
Advice
I would share that being patient with the students and adapting to their learning abilities is essential towards helping them succeed. Some math teachers are patient with all 30-40 students in their class. This one on one tutoring should be for them to help however they need it.
