    I hope you can find some work. Dont be embarrassed at all. It is really tough times out there at the moment.

    I am in Syd so cant really be of much help but was thinkng that maybe you could look into tutoring primary school kids as well. You dont need to be a qualified teacher but your training as a teachers aide will help you. Try ringing some local agencies. You can normally get put on their books and earn around $30 an hour. Not alot but most of the time its cash and its still money in your pocket.

    I am in the same position as Ali, its a shame you aren't in Sydney, we are always looking for teacher's aides and a male would be great.
    I called Numberworks about tutoring and they told me I was way over qualified since I was a teacher and that they only paid $17 an hour
    I would put your name down at all the local schools, even do some volunteer work to get your foot in the door.

    Hi There
    I used to run my own tutoring business. There are no qualifications you need to be a tutor but you obviously can't claim to have qualifications you have not obtained.

    I advertised online and through posting on local notice board.

    Perhaps you could concentrate on getting children up to speed for their second year of school? (down here thats Year 1)?

    Hey there. Good luck with the job search. Maybe you could narrow down your location a little in case anyone is interested. Have you considered setting up a family day care?
