Query:
As a writer for Business Insider, I'm writing an article about
the trend of wealthy parents hiring private tutors to teach
their kids one on one, either online or in another private
setup, as the COVID-19 crisis wears on. While many parents are
turning to homeschooling or other digital learning options to
avoid in-person classroom settings for their children come the
fall, parents with greater means are able to educate their kids
at home with private tutors. I'd like to understand what your
day is like as a private tutor working with privileged kids, how
much you make, what "perks" these families kick in, and other
details about your experience, including any interesting stories
that you may have to tell on the topic.
Requirements:

share stories of what it's like to do this job specifically with
this demographic and your experiences of it, including
interesting first-person stories of your adventures in this line
of work, please send your comments and stories.
