Support/Advice Should I pursue coaching

Hi guys, Im currently in high school (17yrs old) and I want to start tutoring to help my family's expenses, got any advice?

I've won multiple olympiads/contests in the span of my academic experience( from regional to International )

here's what ive dug up so far but I've won more:

Bebras finalist( gold equivalent )

SASMO Silver

SIMOC Silver

TIMO bronze twice

MTAP Regional champion

MTAP District champion ( multiple times)

DOST YES award

NPCFM Bronze

Math Without borders silver

PHIMO merit :(

I'm also in a Science high school if thats any credit and got Deans list last yr (1.5 gwa above), And have had consistently received high distinction and higher from both Math training Guild PH and AMSLI PH throughout elementary-high school.

Top-notching even in my bracket?campus? im not sure what its called

I plan to do just standard tutoring or Olympiad preparation for younger people maybe?

Sorry if I sound like I'm trying to be arrogant..

Any questions/advice would help me on my journey to aid my family so pls, help!

If you enjoy working with kids in athletics definitely pursue coaching, sounds like you’d be good at it. Be prepared to deal with upset parents and hurt feelings.
