  The introduction of online marketplace platforms has led to the advent of new
forms of flexible, on-demand (or 'gig') work. Yet, most prior research
concerning the experience of gig workers examines delivery or crowdsourcing
platforms, while the experience of the large numbers of workers who undertake
educational labour in the form of tutoring gigs remains understudied. To
address this, we use a computational grounded theory approach to analyse
tutors' discussions on Reddit. This approach consists of three phases including
data exploration, modelling and human-centred interpretation. We use both
validation and human evaluation to increase the trustworthiness and reliability
of the computational methods. This paper is a work in progress and reports on
the first of the three phases of this approach.
