I'll be completing my masters degree in applied mathematics soon and am trying to find some low stress work to transition to so I can recover from educational burnout. I'm used to living on a graduate student stipend of like $1900 a month (generously, I also have about $1100 in student fees each semester, a lower stipend in the summer, and 2 months of half stipend throughout the year) so my standard for "livable income" is pretty low I think. I've been looking into remote tutoring work on indeed and I'm just wondering what other people's experiences are. I've applied to easyke so far, which I understand to be a platform specifically for tutoring international students. Awaiting a response.
The per hour pay seems quite favorable, something like $20/hr up to like $50/hr depending on the level of the work. But how consistently can you find hours with these companies? Is it reasonable to take multiple of these jobs simultaneously and try to squeeze 20 hours between them? Does the availability of stuff drop off completely around people's vacations from school?
Would appreciate advice from someone else who has tried to make this work. I can tutor basically any undergraduate math and even most physics with ease, so I'm hoping I have the skillset to cobble together a shorter workweek at the expense of my hypothetically much higher earning potential.
