Can I offer private tutoring as a foreigner in Germany ?

Hello everyone,

I am a non-EU resident (an Ausländerin) with a PhD in Information Science + journalism, currently based in Baden-Württemberg. I have been applying for industry jobs but haven’t had much luck yet. Therefore I am exploring the possibility of offering private English tutoring (Nachhilfe).

I reached out to the Ausländerbehörde, and this is what they said:

„**Ob Sie für die Anbietung von Dienstleistungen ggf eine Gewerbeanmeldung benötigen, kann von ausländerrechtlicher Seite nicht beurteilt werden**.“

Basically, I am allowed to pursue self-employment, but whether to register myself as a business for offering services cannot be determined from an immigration law perspective.

I am a bit unsure about how to proceed from a practical/legal point of view. Therefore I would appreciate any guidance that you all have to offer.

Would private tutoring be considered freiberufliche or require a Gewerbe registration?

Any other specific permits/registrations that I need to be aware of?

Has anyone else on here gone through a similar process as a foreigner?

Thank you so much in advance for any advice!
