Orr, your E-mail is very informative. Thank you. My questions is: what does the Technion thinks about it? Can I give them? Can I post ads on Technion boards? Do I need to give a percentage of the moeny to the Technion? Etc. A) There is Hayechida Lekidom Studentim. You become a Chonech, who gives private lessons for the students who need them (they were in Milluim, ill, just need help, etc.). The payment is 42 NIS/hour AFAIK, even though it might have changed. They look for good private tutors in various courses (the unit is Technion-oriented). I know of it and it is quite acceptable. It gets out of my student's tuition which my parents pay for, but is still good. Note that there are many courses I feel I can be a good Chonech in, and I did not officially take, so I'm not sure they'll allow me. In any case registering can do no harm because in the worst case I can tell my student that I don't have time for it. Now I cannot be a chonech because I don't pay a tuition as I have a semester off. I was thinking of being an independant tutor but maybe it will work better around TAU (which is a walk away from my parents' house) B) Posting ads in the technion is officially prohibited. Even though, I must admit that this official restriction is never to be forced. There are few desingated areas for such ads, but all in all, everybody put their ads everywhere. OK. So I guess I'll stretch the rules a bit. I'm not going to put too many ads, but some here and there occasionally and put it in places where there are already some Apartment Wanted/etc. ads. I know what the Income Tax people think. I fully intend to report what I earn because I'd rather earn less and be free of government-hassles, that get more and risk being declared a criminal. I despise the concept of the Income Revenue Tax as much as the next guy, but I have more important motives in life than becoming filthy rich. I could use some tips in managing my money. You need to go to IRS and VAT (yes, VAT also) and declare your intenetion. You will open an account there (TIK). If you intend to give lessons only to people, and not through companies, etc. and you believe you won't make more than some threshold (which I think is 60,000NIS/year), then you can open Osek PAtor. Then you don't pay VAT (as long as your income is less than thershold). Otherwise, you open an Osek Morshe and then you have to pay VAT, IRS, etc. Don't forget to check Bituach Leumi. OK, thanks for the info.

They have a big paper where they advertise all the people who want to buy or sell stuff, and over there you can check the chapter of private lessons. It should cost around 10 NIS for a student, also many don't really care about this, and hang their own private ads. As for giving a percentage (maaser) to the Technion - not really. The Technion would never dare to take money from the students, for giving private lessons, and it likes the fact that its students give private lessons (it helps the reputation, after all). OK. Again - very useful information. Thanks. I know what the Income Tax people think.

Incoming tax won't mind about it. It is pichifkes, unless you are a big famous honech who gives 200 hours a month. Once you are famous, also IRS will start watching you ;) But till that happens - you shouldn't worry about this, and tax won't look at you. OK. [1] - Please don't give me the lecture about how I should do it for people for free. First of all, I'll still help people for free if they run into Hey, Shlomi.. Nobody asked you to WORK for free... (and you don't need to say how sorry you are about this either). Naturally, but some people have the we'll have to tutor people for free to promote Linux stigma. And I think that free-beer can work for software and documentation where the production costs are zero, but not for actually spending time instructing people.
