Do I need a teaching degree to become a tutor? I have a science degree and would like to tutor to A-Level. Can I charge for this if I don't have a teaching degree?

You do not need a teaching degree to tutor, it may be worth going and doing you City and Guilds 7407 stage 1 which is a basic intro to teaching and learning, which provides a useful intro to meeting students needs and planning sessions. This is done part time and costs a couple of hundred pounds, but in my experience well worth it, it would also add to your credibility as a tutor.

Tutors are not required to be licensed and no body regulates who becomes a private tutor. You can charge whatever you want. Be careful if you make it your primary job, as you'll need to claim the income when you file your taxes.

In most places and organizations, you can tutor without a degree. However, if you are affiliated with an organization, make sure they know you do not hold a degree. Also, for your own legal protection, I would make sure your tutees are also aware that you do not hold a degree.

Yes, it's not a problem
I tutored English (to foreigners) and German (to native English speakers) and I'm not a qualified teacher. I just have a degree in German.
There's nothing illegal about it unless you claim to have a teaching degree.

It shouldn't be a problem whatsoever and yes, you should charge for this. Many parents don't know or are unable to help their children with science...it's a great subject to be tutoring. Science & math are the hardest for children and parents....definetly a great choice.

yes you can tutor privately or for some organizations, that is, in your specialty. there are tons of tutoring organizations out there, online and offline, and many of them accept tutors who don't have teaching certificates, you just have to check them out (some of them DO require certificates); it doesn't hurt to ask, and by all means, do it on your own if you want. good luck!

So long as you are up front about your qualifications and tutor privately , I can't see why you can't tutor. I have done this in the past.

Nope - if you do it privately, then you don't need any type of teaching experience or degree.

Yes, you can. You can do it privitly. place an advert on the papers; and advertise yourself in colleges.
