In this day and age, a lot has changed; our needs, demands, wants and so much more have evolved to a great extent. In order to accommodate all this, the same salary a parent has been earning a few years ago is no longer enough now; more is needed to satisfy our needs and wants. Students, especially college-going undergraduates who understand the struggle of their parents are now willing to work while studying in order to lighten the burden.
There are several aspects that one should look at before landing on a job; that includes, the location, your schedule, the salary you will get, career-relevance and the experience you will potentially gain from the job.

One of the best jobs a student can have is to be a part-time home tutor. The steps to find the tuition job in Singapore is not all that complicated; it is pretty simple indeed. This has high job security, good pay, students will learn a lot through the experience of tutoring other younger kids and its indeed highly satisfactory.
What do we mean by job security?
Where this is concerned, as long as you are honest with your efforts in tutoring, the kids you tutor will benefit will have respect and appreciation for you. They will have you hired as their tutor for as long as they require and once your education journey with them comes to an end, they will recommend you to their juniors. It’s a domino effect and that’s how you grow your career. This is what we mean by “job security”. The demand for a tutor never falls but you have to stay relevant, adapt and improve your teaching skills.
Depending on your education level and prior experience in teaching, you can negotiate your pay rate before you start tutoring. This requires you to weigh the costs and benefits, analyse and understand what is best for you and your student. Working as a part-time tutor, it will be a flexible schedule that you can work around if you are a part-time tutor.
