Good read. My wife actually quit as a teacher in DC (mostly b/c of Teach for America but that is a different story) and started tutoring. It took her about 6 months to get set up with a good reliable set of clients. She was able to charge about 50% more per hour than she made as a teacher (like the article says) however that still did not mean that she made more. First off, tutoring of school aged kids in DC happens in the suburbs so her daily commute doubled to tripled. Next, she went on my health care. And lastly even before those other problems, she still couldn't book anywhere near the same number of hours (as any good freelancer should know) and so was lucky to make 70% what she made before. It still was the right choice as TfA was terrible but just a data point. Side note for Tutorspree: While we lived in Northern Virginia that shouldn't prevent the listing from showing up in DC. Just the 2 cents why my wife tried to use your service and then quit.
