Become a Tutor

Tutors are different than teachers and instructors in the sense that they do not educate large groups of students and they do not simply dictate lessons. A tutor takes on the role of an educator in a student’s life in a personal way. They focus on a student’s individual learning styles and interests to tailor a learning experience that allows for each student to learn new academic material and feel confident about the knowledge they receive. Also, a tutor has the unique ability to be remote and to work in places that the student feels comfortable.
