What skills do you have? Could you offer some kind of tutoring? I see lots of posts like that offering tutoring, babysitting, etc in my neighborhood Facebook group.

I can tutor economics and Russian language! I’m also pretty good with dogs and occasionally babysit dogs of professors from my department, though its fairly infrequent. I also used to play tennis semi-pro, but it’s been 7 years since I played. I thought to maybe see whether I can get a coaching position at the local tennis club. And now that you’ve mentioned Facebook I’ll try to see whether there are any jobs in my neighborhood.

Sounds like you have good relationships! Ask them if they know of any student or parents looking for a tutor in economics and/or Russian. And post electronically or in writing offering tutoring services at coffee shops on and off college campus and coffee shops near expensive high schools (ie get their parents).
