what do you teach Louise? Could you do Skills for Life? ESOL etc? Are there are skills you have which you could use for teaching something you don't normally - say, a GCSE in a subject you have an A level in?

Are you at an FE college or council Adult Learning?

I am an FE lecturer I teach business and accountancy subjects and also basic IT courses (up to level 2) I have also taught in community outreach centres (for the county council).

We did a pilot of a course I loved teaching which was in personal finance and the kids were doing that as additional learning goals they loved learning about credit cards/loans/money etc but there will be no money this year for additional learning goals. I thought the government were trying to encourange this type of learning unfortunately I know nothing about how funding works:o

how about contacting your local Adult Education centre? We are still looking for tutors for some subjects, yours may be also and rate (well, here anyway) is £15-£22 per hour depending on the subject. I'll be getting a mid range rate as a part qualified tutor on a non-accredited course as a guide for you?

I have worked for them before K, there may be a few hours available but I sort of let them down when I took on this job as they had 2 classes already to start and I sort of dropped them in it and they havent found a replacement yet. If they can be sensible about it they may take me back (the students may have gone elsewhere):o unfortunately even with those hours I will be down to about a quarter of what I earn now.
