HMI are usually experts in particular fields of education and teaching but can be called upon to undertake a wider range of work than inspections. How their role will develop in the future will depend upon the views of the new Chief Inspector who will replace Mr Woodhead. The system in Wales is slightly different. I work as a tutor in the evenings to earn extra pay. Some of the parents of children in my school have found this out and want me to tutor their children.
Many teachers take on extra part-time jobs.
These include either working as tutors or marking examination papers. There is nothing wrong with this so long as it doesn t interfere with your full-time teaching post. As to tutoring children you teach, that is another matter. Generally, it is not advisable because you could be faced with a conflict of interest. There is always the danger that a parent might feel you were not teaching their children properly to ensure they came to you for extra paid tuition.
