What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
Make sure your information is available online. Make a website with contact information, pricing, schedule of when you’re available, and subjects you’re able to tutor. You can also advertise on Craigslist and other websites. Reach out to local middle schools, high schools, community colleges, and universities to ask how you can advertise on their campus. One great way to get your name out, and get new jobs is to join a tutoring service online. Sites like tutor.com and coursehero.com are great options. The benefit of these services is that you’ll receive training, have easy access to a number of students, and you don’t have to worry about payments since these online communities typically pay you directly. These organizations typically charge a fee, so you may be able to make more money working independently. However, you’ll have to do more work to establish a client base, get paid, and keep up with all the other related business information. Track all of your tutoring hours, what you teach, and what you earn. If you have a problem at any level with a student, your taxes, or any other work-related concerns, keep a record of this as well. While issues are infrequent, it’s important to have records if a student ever complains about your services. If you’re in a very competitive market or you want to set yourself above the competition to earn a higher salary, there are tutoring certification programs online via the American Tutoring Association, the National Tutoring Association, and the College Reading and Learning Association among others. While a certificate is not a requirement to be a tutor, it does look good on your resume or portfolio.
Seek new clients. Join an online tutor community. Keep records. Get certified.
