9 Ways to Make Additional Summer Income for Educators
Since the job market is tight, teachers may have trouble finding summer work- like waitressing or retail as in previous years. The one constant teachers have is connections with students- especially when they’re on summer break. Utilizing existing relationships over the summer has been a great way for teachers to earn extra money and help out parents who trust teachers with their children. Use your set of teaching and leadership skills in various ways to make money. As always, use your school policy handbook to make sure your actions follow proper protocol.
1. Start Tutoring
Parents know that their children need intellectual stimulation over the summer to keep up their skills. Many parents use this time to help their child focus on a particular area of learning. Teachers that tutor can help students learn in a more relaxed environment away from school. Try the library or park for on the spot learning- use different kinds of locations to help teach skills. Read signs on a walk, or shop in a store for math- it’s tutoring on the go!
Sample hourly rate: $20 per students
2. Teach Music Lessons
If you are a music teacher or a teacher who plays an instrument, giving music lessons can be a great way to supplement income and share your talents with youth. From singing to playing the piano, children thrive in music instruction. Take the summer months to focus on fun music, like musicals or popular tunes students may know from TV or movies. Music lessons could even include a field trip to see a live music ensemble at the library or local performance venue.
Sample hourly rate: $30 per student
3. Teach Swimming Lessons
If you’re a trained lifeguard or expert swimmer, you may qualify to teach private swimming lessons or through a local YMCA program. Check out the requirements necessary and get ready to spend some time getting wet and fit!
Sample hourly rate: $15 per student
4. Form a Book Club
If you have a love of reading, share it with others! For students who may not be into spending time outside, a book club can be a great way to keep them learning and interested in reading. Organize 5-10 students (depending on age) and pick a fun book for them to read each week. During weekly meetings you can discuss the book, have snacks, and even act out a part of the book. Books with movies could be a great way to cap off this series!
5. Give Tennis Lessons:
If you’re a sporty person and good at tennis, use your skills as a teacher to help students learn tennis. Get on board with a local fitness gym as a tennis teacher for young students or let your friends know you’d be willing to teach their kids tennis. It’s great exercise and a good way to earn some extra money.
Sample hourly rate: $15 per student
6. Start a Fit Club
This kind of club would be good to organize for students who like to keep active. Have a weekly time where students meet and get walking! Stroll through local parks; discover nature, and local attractions. Biking, hiking and walking could all be great options for this group.
Sample hourly rate: $10 per student
7. Organize a Lunch Bunch
Some parents are looking to keep their kids social this summer. What better way that with a lunch bunch? Not only can students get together to talk, but the lunch bunch could be a picnic outside or a way to experience new cultural foods. Make sure you get a list of allergies before planning meals!
Sample hourly rate: $10 per student (plus cost of food)
8. Host a Movie Night
Most parents would be thrilled to get a quick date night out. An easy way to make money would be to organize a movie night for participating families. Pick a theme- like Disney or Harry Potter (depending on the age). Host just one night or a summer series. Pop the popcorn and you’re ready to go!
Sample hourly rate: $10 per student
9. Work at Summer Camps
One of the best ways to make money over the summer is to think about what is in most demand in your area. When kids are out of school, summer camps are crowded. Whether it’s a camp at the water park or your local YMCA, check and see if camps are hiring additional staff to lead games or activities.
