What skills do you develop from being a tutor?
Being a tutor is a great way to build transferable skills, like communication, creativity, adaptability, critical thinking, problem solving, and leadership, so no matter your plan for the future, tutoring can help you get there!
-
Could tutoring help me learn if I would enjoy being a teacher?
Tutoring is an excellent way to discover if you have a true passion for education and supporting students in their learning, which is essential for being a teacher. It will allow you to test out your current skills and see if an educational role might be right for you. Just remember, as a tutor you will typically work with students 1:1, or in small groups, for a few hours per week. That dynamic is much different than supporting a full class of students each day. Tutoring may help you decide if education is the right career path for you to explore, but it will not give you the same experience as being a classroom teacher.

What makes a great private tutor?
A great private tutor is passionate about helping students succeed by overcoming their academic challenges, growing their confidence, and finding joy in learning. These tutors have strong subject matter expertise and a mentor mentality. They build relationships grounded in trust, respect, and communication with their students and have their student’s best interests at heart. Great tutors are able to personalize their support by connecting the learning to their student’s interests, helping their student to recognize and hone their strengths, and developing strategies to reduce and/or overcome their student’s areas of need. Finally, great private tutors work as part of their student’s educational team by communicating and collaborating with the student, their teacher, family, and other members of the team.
