WHY TUTOR?

It's a paid job that you can set your own hours for. Which means you can put in as much time/effort as your schedule allows.

It's ridiculously fun. The kids are sassy, exubrant and hosts a dynamic sense of personality unmatched by your handling a monotonous cash register.

You get to reaffirm your own knowledge for whatever subject you are teaching. Even at the basic elementary level, teaching a fourth grader English will force you to review intrinsic grmmar rules.

There is a sense of accomplishment as you become attached to your tutee and watch their improvement throughout the years. You form a new connection that you wouldn't have had or else.

In the end, you build up dynamic personal skills as you learn how to communicate ideas more effectively and how to handle your tutoring commitments amidst your many other responsibilities.

We want our tutors to enjoy what they are doing. If you do not like interacting with people younger/around your age, that attitude will most likely come across.

ASSERTIVE

Know how to handle difficult questions in the spot. Know how to assist your student in learning how to fish, rather than just handing them a fishing manual.
