Mathematics related side hustle ideas for a first year BSc student.

[thorn geode]

Do you have ideas for how to create an income doing mathematics while at uni in the first year?

[slim tree]

Tutoring mathematics mainly

[thorn geode]

Cool!

[slim tree]

ik thats a basic answer sorry but its the only thing i can think of

making money but just doing pure research in mathematics requires an undergraduate or preferably a graduate degree in it

so tutoring is the best thing youve got i think

[thorn geode]

That sounds good, who do you tutor?High school students?

An idea I had is freelancing with Python on Upwork

[slim tree]

I personally dont tutor anyone im just a kid who likes hanging out in this server
but who you should tutor depends on your current level in math

if youre HORRIBLE, truly H O R R I B L E like failed it during highschool at math, then you should tutor elementary schoolers, but if you wanna do a math related side hustle then i dnot think thats the case

[thorn geode]

Sorry, I meant universal you

[slim tree]

if youre below average or average at math but can explain things well you should tutor middle schoolers

[slim tree]

yeah i misintepreted that mb

if youre good or preferably great at math and feel like you have a VERY firm grasp on high school topics you can just tutor highschoolers yeah

and if your uni offers a first year math course or something that you are taking, you can tutor people in it if youre really good at it

[thorn geode]

Yeah I think that is an option at our uni

But I'm not there yet, probably in the future

[slim tree]

but are you taking it?
Cuz unless youre a math enthusiast who was self studying the topic before college, you need to take the course to be able to tutor it

[thorn geode]

I'm taking it, still learning it, just started.

[slim tree]

in that case you can tutor high schoolers if youre good at math

and like i said if youre bad just tutor middle schoolers or elementary schoolers even then

[thorn geode]

I see what you mean, have firm grasp of the material you are teaching, and know how to teach well, or strive to at least

[slim tree]

Exactly yeah you need to understand the intution behind it, know the formulas pretty well, and make sure you know how to actually explain the topic and dont just know it to yourself

cuz you dont wanna be in the situation where a student asks you a question about the topic and youre just as confused as they are lol

[thorn geode]

Gotcha
