I should study A levels Physics and be a private tutor

[GuyFromSingapore]

Quote: "Imagine getting a Master's degree in Physics at Imperial College of London and getting paid $150 an hour teaching Junior College/A levels students.

150 × 5 hrs a day × 7 times a week × 4 times a month × 12 months a year = $252 000 a year."


I got this book for free at the donation shelf of the library yesterday.

 

[LooksOrDeath]

the pay is not nearly that much, not even close

I did A-level physics. Great subject.

It is if you’re very good.

 

[DildoFaggins]

You wouldn't handle working 7 days a week tbh

 

[User28823]

its just that easy

 

[Gone]

from my personal experience i would not take its gigahard but maybe im just stupid

 

[GuyFromSingapore]

It's only 5 hours a day. And you'll just be repeating what you already know.

 

[GuyFromSingapore]

Brah I'm literally studying University Physics on my own.

I just dropped out of secondary school so I need to take O levels/GCSEs and A levels private.

 

[MaestheticMaso]

Yeah I found it harder than Further maths, especially with topics like electromagnetism and capacitors.

 

[LooksOrDeath]

It is if you’re very good.

There is a ceiling for salary

https://www.glassdoor.co.uk/Salaries/london-private-tutor-salary-SRCH_IL.0,6_IM1035_KO7,20.htm

not even at the 99.9th percentile you would be making 150 usd per hour, and the vast majority make between 30k to 50k pounds yearly

You’d need to take the actual qualification’s exam therefore you’d need to pay roughly £250-£300 to sit the exam dependant on the UK exam board or whatever country you’re sitting them (the UK equivalent), then you will have acquired the credentials required in order to tutor, no one will hire you as a private tutor if you have no qualification for the subject you are trying to teach

 

[LooksOrDeath]

personally fm was equally difficult

definitely harder than regular maths thoughs

Further Maths in Singapore is called H2 Maths.

Of course

but a university degree with honors is more important

Everyone keeps saying Physics is harder than Maths.

 

[LooksOrDeath]

Everyone keeps saying Physics is harder than Maths.

Maybe for you it isn't

For other people maths is easier, so they usually have an aptitude for maths, while you seem to have it for physics

very narrow minded of you to make fun of them for that

Google says high end private tutors make 50 pounds or $85 dollars per hour.

UK is a shit hole country.

Some topics were quite annoying, like De moivre’s theory and vectors. Really liked differential equations and hyperbolic functions because once you get the hang of them, it’s quite simple and there’s always high mark questions on those.

Sorry.

50 pounds is not 85 dollars jfl, singapore dollars?

Nearly all of the time, if you’re good at maths, you’ll be at least above average in science or engineering. Especially in things like physics or electrical engineering.

Glassdoor is a garbage website.

My private O levels Maths tutor charged $55 per hour.

And he only has a Bachelor's in NUS in Mathematics.

 

[LooksOrDeath]

I agree with you, but you can still be very good at maths while being above average in physics, and struggle in phys a level,

I don't see how what I said goes against that.

 

[MaestheticMaso]

Seems like you’ve done the same subjects as me @LooksOrDeath ?

What are you doing now ?

 

[GuyFromSingapore]

Inb4 Engineering or Computer Science.

Yeah I agree, it’s was mainly the concepts for me. The maths in A-level physics was quite easy, especially if you’re doing FM as well.

 

[LooksOrDeath]

I am not sure how you can say that, decline data from thousands of people in favor of your anecdotes

My private O levels Maths tutor charged $55 per hour.

singapore dollars.

"only" a bachelors, NUS is the best university in singapore, and you dfinitely do not need a masters to teach 15 year olds maths.

55$ is still very very far from 150$, i think you would have to be like a celebrity to charge that much

 

[LooksOrDeath]

Gap year

Inb4 Engineering or Computer Science.

intend to CS

Alternatively it could a tuition centre where you teach like 6 students in a room all at once, that's why.

 

[MaestheticMaso]

Jfl I’m doing a gap year as well, but I have a place to study maths and Econ which I deferred.

 

[LooksOrDeath]

rent, staff, and you will definitely not be able to charge them 150$ still

home tutors are more wanted for convenience, unless youre exceptional

Yeah apparently it is even amongst the top university in the world for a Physics degree.

Do you live in the UK?

 

[LooksOrDeath]

you see the point now?

Yeah!

 

[GuyFromSingapore]

Dude, I'm talking about an hour at $150 for all the students combined together.

55$ × 6 = $330

So $330 - the rent = $150

You ARE the staff.

Tution centers usually have 1 or 2 assistants, and also pay for cleaning

add the salary of 1 assistant + part time cleaner in your case

 

[LooksOrDeath]

Yeah!

jfl what a happy

 

[LooksOrDeath]

Im taking a gap year because id like to study in the US

 

[incel194012940]

Ohh that’s nice. Are you applying to places now ? What type of places do you want to go to, IVY?

 

[LooksOrDeath]

long time no see

 

[LooksOrDeath]

Ohh that’s nice. Are you applying to places now ? What type of places do you want to go to, IVY?

ill apply next year

and yeah ideally a top university

thinking of asking my dad to get a consultant

 

[MaestheticMaso]

Yeah get one if you can, they can really help. I know someone who went to Brown from the UK and he had some sort of adviser overseeing everything, helping with tests ect.

What were your A-levels if I may ask ?

 

[incel194012940]

long time no see

PSA - OP is 33 years old with a net worth of 0$ lmao

Try Crimson education. They have 40% increase rate of getting into Ivy league.

Brown is my favorite ivy, definitely the one i relate to the most

What were your A-levels if I may ask ?

Maths, Physics, FM

3A*

dropped cs in favor of FM but ill take it next year along with english i think
