People are more open to exploring technology now than they were in the past. What does this mean for you as a computer tutor? There’s a lot of people ready to learn from you and willing to pay for your services.

You can explore the many niches and choose the one you’re comfortable with, according to your skill set. Some of the niches you can consider are:

•Seniors
This group of people is most likely to want to learn basics so they can operate a computer at home or use it to communicate with distant family and friends.

•Business owners
As a business grows and evolves, business owners may need to learn how to use new software
to keep up with the changes.

•eBay sellers
This group uses computers regularly to create and manage their online store. You can help them make the most of their experience by teaching them some computer skills, whether those are related to selling on eBay or using additional programs to manage their store.

•Bloggers
Everyone and their mother has a blog. No, seriously. There are blogs about everything, from vegetarian recipes to reviews of the latest episodes of Supernatural (yes, that show is still running). You can teach bloggers how to install and navigate WordPress and the many themes, features, and plugins. Another helpful computer skill you can teach bloggers is how to monetize their blog.

•Children
When it comes to education, most people believe it’s best to “catch them while they’re young.” For this niche, you’ll only have to teach basic skills such as turning a computer on and off, keyboard shortcuts, and using basic computer programs, among other things.

You won’t need much capital to get your computer tutoring business up and running, especially if you’re keeping it small. A computer or two will allow you to offer classes to a small group of people. You can get people talking about your business by offering a couple of free sessions and asking for referrals.

Who Is It For?
As long as you’ve got substantial computer skills, you can share you knowledge with others for a fee of your choice. If you love to teach and have good people skills and a serious amount of patience, this computer tutoring side hustle can work for you.

Who Is It Not For?
You need access to a computer to be able to teach others how to use it. Internet access is also important since your lessons may include using social media sites and other online platforms. If you have none of this, computer tutoring is not on the cards for you.

How It Works?
Having your own computer tutoring business gives you a range of possibilities. You can create your own courses, based on the skills you currently have. If you want to offer more advanced lessons, you can learn what you want to teach and expand your skills as you grow.

The best place to start is the basics like file management, social media, and basic operation. Once you’ve figured out what you want to teach and how, you can start marketing your program to get clients.

It’s easier to focus on a particular niche when you’re starting out so that you don’t get overwhelmed. After some time, you can add more people to your team and offer more classes. The more advanced your knowledge, the more clients you’ll be able to pull in and the higher you can charge them. Some areas you can explore for better rates include Adobe’s Photoshop and plenty more Creative cloud programs.

What We Like?
There are so many niches to explore and tap into so yo have full control of what you teach and how much you charge. Due to this variety, it’s easy to find a niche you’re comfortable with and well informed on.

What We Don’t Like?
Teaching isn’t a profession for everyone. Whether it’s the standard kind of teaching or specialty fields like computer tutoring. You might be a computer expert but if you don’t have the heart for teaching, you can end up miserable.

How Much Can You Make
You can control what you earn b setting your own rates. Standard rates range from ₤400 to ₤800 per month. Of course, this will depend on the number of clients you get ad how many hours you teach in a month.
