How I made $150 in 4 days

I posted this about 4 months ago, but since almost all schools in the US (from elementary to university) have opened up in the past few weeks from winter/Christmas break I think this is a perfect time to take advantage of this opportunity. I began tutoring for a website called InstaEDU (now called Chegg Tutors) a while back. Its an online tutoring website created by Chegg (for those of you who don't know what Chegg is, its a very popular homework help, used books, tutoring site among students).

Well I decided to give it a shot because their website boasted $20 an hour pay. After using it for a few days I'll say that this website is great. You simply need to fill out the application, which is super short and easy, and they will ask you what subjects you have mastered. There must be hundreds of options on this list, ranging from foreign languages, to programming, to sciences, to math. You select whichever subjects you think you could tutor and the InstaEDU/Chegg team will get back to you with your application status. I submitted my application and within 12 hours I got an email and I was all set up to tutor, all I had to do was send them a picture of my student ID or email them from my student email to prove I am currently enrolled. If you already graduated you can send them a picture of your diploma or certificate. After that you just sit on the site and wait until a student needs assistance. I let it run in a window while I do homework or watch netflix or whatever, and they will notify you if a student needs your services.

Students can request written lessons or live lessons. For written lessons they typically upload a document with a topic or something that they want you to explain allot you a certain amount of time to finish it (1 hour, etc). You explain whatever they need help with and upload it for them and you get paid $20 per hour for whatever time they allotted you (ex if they allotted you 30 minutes, you get $10, and so on). For live lessons you and the student get put into a virtual classroom that has a whiteboard, text editor, chat, all that good stuff. There the student can ask whatever questions or draw out problems for you to help him solve. In the live lesson you use a chat system similar to Facebook chat while you draw on the whiteboard and help them get through whatever things they need help with. If you want, they have the option to audio or video chat to make things easier. In the live lesson you get paid by the minute ($20 per hour), so if it only takes you 15 minutes to help the student you get $5, etc. If you enter a lesson with a student and it turns out that you can't help him after all for whatever reason, you can void the lesson and pass it on to another tutor with no penalty to you and the student does not get charged.

As far as payment goes, they submit payments every Thursday at 5pm BST, 12pm eastern, 9am pst. The payment gets deposited automatically to your paypal on that Friday (I have never had any issue receiving my payment). Any tutoring you do after this deadline on Thursday goes into your next payment. I have added proof pictures below from the lasst time I posted this. Since classes are starting back up, the work will pick up very quickly as kids begin to require tutoring in their classes. If you really want to start tutoring you should sign up now because within a few weeks students will be studying for exams and InstaEdu/Chegg usually gets really busy and its easy to rack up a lot of money.
