Yeaaah, it gets tricky when you're dealing with anything past middle school, because--like with that guy who practically expected you to write his paper--the students realize you're being paid and expect more out of you.
I would suggest starting with really young kids. It's not difficult at all when you're helping them develop basic reading/writing and math skills--all you need are beginner's books from the library that you can read to them and have them try and read back by sounding the words out and whatnot. I'm basically mimicking the teaching method used to teach me when I was in elementary.
So yeah. Little kids. KG-GR8. That's where the best, most comfortable experiences are at.
