With tuition fees, accommodation costs, textbooks and activity costs, student life doesn’t come cheap. With so many expenses, you might find yourself in need of some extra money.
If you find yourself short on cash, here are five easy ways to make some extra money as a student.
Become a private tutor
Working as a private tutor is a great opportunity to share your interests and earn money on the side. An entirely flexible way to work, tutoring allows you to choose to work either online or in-person, set your own hours and choose who you tutor.
Becoming a private tutor couldn’t be easier with Superprof. It’s free to create a teaching advert on the website and you can set your own teaching conditions, schedule and fees. By becoming a private tutor on Superprof, you will be joining a community of more than seven million teachers, coaches, mentors and artists around the world.
The best part? You can also choose how much you get paid. What you'll earn will vary depending on the fees you decide to set. Superprof tutors typically charge between £10 and £200 per hour depending on experience.
Sell your old textbooks online
Most students have dozens of old textbooks lying around at home gathering dust. Why not sell them on and earn a bit of extra money?
There are several easy ways to do this. You could either sell them through a website like Ebay or Amazon; contact relevant student groups directly on Facebook, or even sell them back to your university bookstore.
