Folkiedave,

Try tutoring at a local college. You get motivated adult students, and almost no paperwork.

And which earth are you on?

Sorry, I reside on the third planet from the sun.

I relate my wife's experience as a community tutor in Maine. Her students were mostly adults who had returned to college after som work, having realized that they need a degree to get a good job. Students who were having trouble with algebra, or statistics, or other undergraduate math, were referred by their advisors to tutors for help. She would meet one-on one with such students and help them, The paperwork was a single sheet checklist for each session, and the pay was far better than minimum wage.

Perhaps it is not so good elsewhere.
