Passive income: NO

Earning passive income directly from English tutoring is challenging. Most tutors earn actively by teaching sessions. To make it passive, one would need to create a scalable system, like a subscription-based platform or app, where students pay for access to pre-recorded lessons or resources. This requires significant upfront work, tech skills, and investment. Few achieve this; most tutors continue active teaching. On forums like Reddit and YouTube, successful passive income stories often involve branching into related areas like course creation, not tutoring alone. Misleading expectations include thinking passive income is easily achievable without substantial effort or investment.
