Default How to become a tutor?

I'm currently attending a 2-year school as a math major intending to transfer to a 4-year school. I do very well in scientific courses and I think I understand all the material well.

I think I could be very useful as a tutor because I don't have trouble with subjects that most people seem to do really bad in. However, the tutoring center in my school pays a ridiculous wage of $8/hr, I could go flip burgers for that much.

I see ads posted for private tutors, but how could I get into that? Without any teaching/tutoring experience, I don't think I'd be able to get any customers. Also, I don't think I'd be an effective teacher without any training because I know it's not my strong skill (I know that the psychology of learning is different for some people, and that my way of learning/understanding differs from the average person, even though it's probably close to norm on 2+2). So, how can I learn the necessary skills to be a valuable tutor without taking an $8/hr job?
