Question 61066
I can't speak for everyone.  I can speak for myself.  I think someone is making money, because students keep telling me they are sending someone donations.  Some tutors have a side paid online tutoring businesses, I've seen them advertise.  I personally don't make any money from this.  I taught high school math for 5 years.  Now, I am a math instructional assistant for a community college full time.  We don't have good online software for tutoring math, so I tell my students that I monitor this site from time to time if they need help from home or work.  I monitor the site while I'm in my office and have no students and when I've got nothing to do at home.  I really like helping students acheive their goals.  That's why I do what I do for a living.  But this site gives me no monitary gain, I just like helping people with math.  It's nice to be good at something and help others.  I've been professionally tutoring for my college for 5 years, it's a lot more personally rewarding to personally tutor people than to teach a whole class. 
Besides, math is fun!!!
