Online training programmes have gained traction over the last couple of years as the world was forced into lock down mode and many reputed universities began offering free courses online. Even as schools and colleges are running full swing there remains an acute need for good tutors to help students. Traditionally, tutors have been searched for Science and Mathematics purely for academic reasons. Institutes like Khan Academy and Byju’s made virtual tuitions a trend many parents found convenient.

However, now tutors are not only in demand among parents and students in schools and universities, but they are also sought after for the subject they are teaching by any interested student. Whether it is music, art, soft skills, management training or even technical training. They are sought after by individuals who want to learn a skill for their personal or professional development, companies for employee training and even school or college students who want to augment their qualifications.

If you have succeeded as a vlogger, there are many who are waiting for somebody to show them the ropes behind making viral home videos.
