Connections Academy

The world of education is changing rapidly. Many K-12 students now opt for online courses. For students who perform better on their own or would prefer a faster or slower pace than a classroom setting can provide, Connections Academy might be a better fit. If you have a teaching certificate, you can sign up as a teacher. Most of the work is done remotely from home, though you may have to travel infrequently for meetings or training.

ETS

If you’d prefer not to work with students directly, you can sign up with ETS as a constructed-response scoring professional. You will be responsible for scoring TOEFL, GRE, Praxis, and ETS essays, as well as spoken responses and portfolios. You have to follow a set of guidelines to arrive at the given score.

Ninja Essays

Ninja Essays offers writing, editing, proofreading, and formatting services for students. Most of the students are college level, but some are in High School or Post-graduate programs. If you are a skilled educator, you can sign up to work as an editor or writer across a variety of academic subjects.

Shmoop

If you enjoy writing and creating courses, consider looking into Shmoop. This online course website serves over 13 million students and teachers each year. You can be contracted to write the course material for a huge range of subjects, from chemistry to Dr. Seuss! Creating a science course can net you up to $500! If you don’t want to design an entire course, you can instead opt to create study guides. They will pay less, but they’ll also be a lot less time consuming, so you can spend more time on other sites.

Tutor.com

Tutor.com offers students 24/7 access to professional tutors in typical K-12 topics like algebra, finance, and literature. Students select their tutor based on their experience, education, and user reviews. The benefit for tutors is that you can select your own hours and login whenever you want. Tutoring sessions are done via online chat, so you don’t need a webcam or a phone to communicate with students. The average pay ranges from $10-$14/hour.

Udemy

If you want to create a passive source of income (which is a FANTASTIC idea), you can create a course on Udemy in whatever topic(s) you are most passionate about. Some courses are free, but most are paid. Creating a course with multiple videos and lessons will certainly take a large time commitment to set up. But once it’s set up, it will do all the work for you.
