I never paid taxes on cash, but I did on anything with a paper trail
It’s definitely still possible to make a living tutoring, but the big challenge is your working hours. Kids are in school here until 2-3 and noone wants to schedule tutoring after 7:00, which means you only can get a few students in per day. I ended up taking a part time job for the mornings and tutoring in the evenings, but if you can crack the case on midday tutoring you’d be set up. If you have somewhere in public you can meet students, that cuts down on drive time between session to fit more in, too. I always met at their house which meant 15 or so minutes of driving between appointments.
