do i have to pay tax on money i earn as a tutor?

you would be required to report it as self-employment income and pay tax accordingly.  it's up to you to keep proper records (like a receipt book, for example), especially when it comes to cash.  if you can't prove exactly how much you earned and the government decides to guess the amount for you then you won't like the outcome!
