Okay this might be a slightly weird and awkward question (and possibly slightly dumb) but I have a feeling some people have been in the same position as me before so I am hoping that you will be able to give me some much needed advice or maybe moral support as I am getting a little lost.
The problem I have is that I have recently graduated and with the lack of experience in the field I wish to pursue in, I'm doing internships to build up my portfolio. As with most internships they don't pay me enough for lunch let alone for rent! Hence I have to pick up teaching jobs here and there to survive in this ridiculously expensive city without having to live in a box. The trade off between a dream and the basic need! But I need some teaching jobs much more stable than the odd parents here and there as I don't want to be worrying about my next meal or how to pay for my bills, since I have been surviving mostly on savings and the odd jobs.
If not I will have to give up and just do a full time teaching job.
So to the main point, my question is has people been able to get stable teaching jobs like at weekends and nights which is enough for them to get by. And how did they go about it? How much can I realistically make on the side eg.weekend and nights on top of a full time internship?
I have a TESOL and some teaching experience at learning centers teaching things such as phonics, YLE etc, but I have no idea why I have been having such trouble finding a part time English Teaching job during the weekend. Some has told me that they are concerned that I will be unstable and leave once I have a permanent job (which I can't deny). Are there ways to persuade the employer that I want this job rather than I am just doing it for the money? Or should I just have a more systematic way of doing private tutoring and that should be enough for me?
Sorry for rambling. I hope I made some sense here and there.
