FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I decided to become a (paid) tutor shortly after graduating high school. I loved tutoring my sisters and friends throughout grade school and figured I could make some money for it to support myself. It has been very rewarding to help students feel better about themselves and their classes. I will probably be tutoring throughout my entire college experience, picking up more skills and harder classes as time goes on.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
My most common type of job is tutoring. Even when I was younger, I helped my 4 siblings with all of their homework and studying. I have always had a passion for learning. Besides that, I worked as a receptionist/assistant for a paralegal for a year in high school, learning how to speak/act professional and do a bunch of paperwork!
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
I strongly advise a parent/student looking to hire a tutor to do some research before picking the first person that comes up in a search. You want to know that the person you are paying and letting into your home can be trusted to do their job. I would also advise looking for pictures of the prospective tutor and initially having a conversation on the phone before meeting them.
