Ok...so...does anyone have any experience with doing-it-yourself starting and maintaining a side hustle as a language tutor?

Hope you don't mind the long post here, but from reading up on this board, it seems the more detailed I am in regards to my circumstances in this venture, the better.

My return flight back home to America is fast approaching, and in addition to finding a job, I want to establish myself and utilize the Chinese I have learned thus far towards doing some tutoring. I have had plenty of time and experience teaching English in China, but, to be frank, most of the time therein is tantamount to playing a teacher game show host going along with material that's been given to you...so...not precisely American-professional-tutor sort of experience...

My Chinese level is constantly increasing but currently at the level of being able to read basic kids' books and easily converse and get my point across no problem ever. Yes, not exactly very skilled...but I do have an intuitive knack for knowing how to explain issues and elements in language studies, which I find Chinese natives really, really lack in when tutoring in Chinese. I've found myself able to explain and make relevant a lot of issues my friends have had with learning Chinese (thus, part of the reason some of my friends have been like "c'mon now...you could totally at least teach beginner's Chinese at a good rate and then tell them things like "Good question...let's stay on task today but I'll cover that next lesson" if I'm asked something I don't know).

Anyways...that's where I'm at, roughly. I need to put some material together and think this is a worthwhile endeavor and, well, ultimately something I want to do as a career once as, say, a high school Chinese teacher at some point someday once I've acquired the appropriate certificates. However....I'm a bit unsure how to go about doing this (cont'd)
