Conference season lasts from about April to September, and events are held all over the country. If finding resources at a library is your forte, see if your local library is willing to let you hold a weekly homeschoolers class in which you help the kids and teens that show up how to locate and use the library for their own research. My support group hires a Stanford student each year to lead all the kids in group games. These are the sort of games that can be played with a huge group of kids between the ages of 6 and 16 with no one getting trampled. Often support groups are looking for someone to help them set up a basketball team or something similar.
Some states require testing or evaluation and require that it be given by a qualified teacher.
Going Through the Red Tape Check the tutoring laws in your state as well as the homeschooling laws. Most states do allow parents to hire tutors full or part-time, but it is wise to check. Usually the parents still have to comply with the homeschool regulations. I have a great many of the homeschooling laws listed on this site. Some even include tutoring information.
