What's an Ethical Tutor?
It means :
- To be part of a cooperative of teachers, sharing teaching ideas & enthusiasm.
- To be part of the Meaningful Education Movement to grow a healthier education system.
- To be self-employed, but without all the usual hassle of growing your own business in isolation – we make it easy.
- To have space for a meaningful life outside of teaching.
- To potentially earn around £30,000 a year part-time teaching (you teach up to a maximum of 15 hours contact time, with a maximum 20-hour working week).
- Unlike solo or agency tutoring, you will still have a group of subject colleagues to share ideas and get excited about your subject with.
- To potentially supplement your income helping to run the Ethical Tutors coop.
- To have space and time to have another part-time job (or volunteer work) alongside teaching your subject. Always wanted to train as a yoga teacher, masseur, therapist… this will give you time and space for a second string to your bow!
