How do you go about...
 

I have been looking for a summer job and the chances of finding someone to employ me for 2 months is pretty low so I've been thinking of what else I could do to earn some cash and thought I could look into making some money providing tuition on how to use computers/fixing computers etc General tech handyman sort of thing.

I can't see it being a huge earner but if it puts some money in my pocket I'd be happy.

I am asking if anyone knows the legalities as in taxes, would I be classed as self employed etc etc. Also any qualifications needed to for example provide an adult IT class :)

Thanks

no qualifications needed however if you teach children you probably need CRB, I think you can get round this if you insist that the parent stays with you the whole time you are there.

years ago I did a bit of this, I just put a poster in the window of my house and had a decent number of calls from it.

From a tax perspective, call the taxman, they will probably want you to do a form at the end of the next tax year declaring any earnings/grants etc.

Good Luck and TBH you will be surprised about summer working, A lot of companies look for students to fill in whilst their permie staff take their hols etc. I never struggled to find summer jobs back when I was a lad...

I reckon yer better off just doing some seasonal gardening work for householders
I have to track someone down to do this for me every year
They just come everycouple week in summer months and just do a general tidy up
End of summer they just generally bill me about £65 for the season
