The Academic Advantage Employee Reviews for Math Tutor

"Great to give back to the community. Wish I had more time."

What do you like about working at The Academic Advantage?

"Math has always been a passion of mine, and although I have a full time job, I wanted to impart that on students from the same school district I grew up in. I went to orientation and was assigned 6 junior high school math kids. I was shocked to find out that one of my 7th graders couldnt multiply. They say that patience is a virtue, and believe me, I was challenged as to how I could help this student learn something that they should have known since 2nd or 3rd grade. The online curriculum allowed me to show her short videos on multiplication and other techniques that I couldnt have dreamed about. I am thankful for this experience for allowing me to instill my love of math and its ease to others."

"If we could have a document for returning tutors that compares and contrasts the differences from the prior year. I've worked here long enough to know what I'm doing."
