Grinds in Engineering

trepasers

I received an A1 in Engineering in second level and I am just after passing my ordinary level degree in mechanical engineering (going on for the honors now) .Just wondering is there anything stopping me teaching grinds in engineering for second level ?

No, apart from the fact that being able to do something doesn't always mean you can teach others to do it. If people are prepared to go to you, that's their choice.

You might find that there isn't a huge demand or engineering grinds and that those willing to pay €30+ for grinds will want a qualified engineering teacher who is familiar with the course content and exam technique.

Ok so ye reckon there isn't much point doing grinds in engineering :cool:

I'm not suggesting there is no "point", however I wouldn't imagine there is huge demand for engineering grinds.
As I also said, parents/students are not as quick to part with €30+ for grinds. If they do pay for grinds, they will usually expect a qualified experienced teacher.
You can try advertise and see what response you get but do not underestimate the huge amount of work, time and preparation involved in giving grinds.

50% of it the practical and project and that's where they tend to focus their attention throughout the year. I don't think there's a massive demand out there for engineering grinds to be honest.
