But tutoring doesn’t pay nearly as well as classroom teaching

In Australia, this is not entirely the case. Teachers are not well-paid, and tutoring is fairly lucrative in suburban/urban areas. I am rough on the exact details but a tutor doing ~25 hours a week could probably earn more than a teacher.

  This is also true in the US.
