Offer a online teaching service for those who need extra help. That way you can work from home. I'm a tutor I have a teachers qualification along side of a degree. I'm working for my local council tutoring one to one when my children are at school. It works well as I can choose my own times as long as I put in the hours.

Well done! Amazing work. I’m a secondary English teacher and it’s the best job in the world. You can definitely do it if you want to. Maybe consider part time whilst your children are young if you’re worried about juggling it all. I have two young kids myself and a responsibility as assistant head of year but I wouldn’t do anything else x

That’s brilliant well done! I’ve done open uni myself and know how much time it takes up!

Wow! What an achievement!
I had a friend who was a proof reader. No idea of what it entailed but she found it worked well around family life - yours sounds very hectic! - as she was able to work from home which at the time wasn’t really a “thing!”
Enjoy the summer with the children!

Have you considered working at a university in 'academic support' - providing essay writing help / English language support etc to students? Could fit well. Working for online university's would likely allow you to work from home. Have a look at Arden University

Well done sounds full on...Teaching is nearly a 60hr week in term time as a new teacher...i found it took away from helping my own family and although i worked in industry long hrs before my degree ..the post grad year was really time consuming it may be different now as that was in 2000 but planning interesting entertaining lessons, being observed, writing reflections on ea lesson and feedback for years 7 through to 13 was the busiest work focused year ever...i'd probably think the youngest may need to be in school to be able to focus on teaching...but you could sign up to tutor agencies and maybe tutor online on skype a few evenings if you have anyone to look after your kids for couple evening hours a few days a week...as well as look for daytime work.
I make my own web-blogs to use for tutoring...u need to know the specification but can just follow the exam board recc student books for Eng Lang and study books for Eng Lit

I’m a primary teacher, currently in early years. I’m a single parent to three kids and I manage. It’s hard work and a juggle but having the holidays with my crew is the best! Go for it, why not give it a try!? Xx
