Tutors provide one-on-one educational services to students who need additional help in a specific field of study. Tutors may themselves be students, typically college majors who are helping students high school aged or younger in their major or concentration.
Skillset: Tutors need to be not only highly educated in their field, but have excellent teaching and communicating skills. Tutors should be patient and work well with younger people, and understand the frustrations and difficulties that their students may be experiencing with their subject or area of study.
Education: Some professional tutors are college graduates who tutor full-time. Many tutors, however, are undergraduate or graduate students who are tutoring part-time while they complete their studies. For example, and English major at a nearby university may put out an add offering reading assistance to junior high or high school students. It is generally assumed that if a tutor is studying a subject at the college level that they are adept enough to instruct younger students.
Career Path: While tutoring is sometimes a full-time job, it is more often than not merely a way for teachers or college students to make supplementary income. Those looking to pursue a full-time career teaching will benefit from having tutoring experience on their resume, as it suggests to future employers that the candidate has a background in instruction and education.
