Craig Bartons book is very good - he has a podcast as well "Mr Barton Maths".

About online tutoring: I work in the UK as an Adult maths tutor. I get GBP 24 per teaching hour which includes an allowance for prep time. It's alright as tutoring jobs go.

I had a quick look at Yup as it seems interesting. But Glassdoor reviews state tutors get ~ $10-$15 an hour. (some say $11 an hour)

Ah c'mon. I find that depressing. They're looking for high quality flexible tutors and pay that? I could work in Tesco stacking shelves for that. Even Amazon in the UK pay more (and I've worked there as a picker)

I find it cynical that so much quality is demanded from certain online companies and the pay is derisory.

I suppose the flexibility they offer is worth it for some people... and the chance to work from home...

Anyway had to get that off my chest... I think teachers are under-valued and under-paid anyway!
