Thanks for your reply Paully.

I would rather 'teach' than 'advise'. I would love to become a maths tutor and teach students up to GCSE level.

OK thats a start, what qualifications do you have in maths?
I know some people who tutor evenings and weekends, and do quite well from it. They have other jobs too but could be a start?

Thanks for your response.

I have gained an 'A' level in mathematics. I do some private tutoring this year, and joined a few teaching agencies. However, it seems that I didn't 'market' myself properly.. I didn't get any students this academic year, except one since March, and he stopped having lessons last week, since he sat his exam last week !!

I guess these things take time to become established, and to learn how others, who get more pupils, market themselves. Did you find out how to market yourself properly as you said you didnt?

You've been asked this question twice. Are we to assume your only qualifications are A Level Maths and the PTLLS?

Why not just answer the OP's question?

Because it's pointless without more information, someone with a first class degree in maths is going to have many more options than someone with a single A Level.

You aren't thinking out of the box enough. My interpretation of the OP was for some new and left - field ideas of jobs that get the satisfaction of teaching and use some of the same skills. For example becoming a driving instructor. I'm not recommending it as I think it's hard work for much less pay than many realise but if you believe you have patience, the ability to explain things well and get satisfaction from seeing customers learn and progress then it's an option. Another is to sell yourself as a workplace trainer but you'd need to find relevant courses to promote. Where I work we've brought in people to hold classes on mentoring, diversity, leadership, time management, presentation skills, etc.

As you like instructing, you may want to look into becoming a trainer in a corporate environment. It helps to have a particular area of skill - a general IT trainer is a good place to start. Generally you will learn new software and then train others on how to use it.
