Apply in your own words.
Tell us what you can teach, how you explain difficult ideas, and what experience or coursework supports your subjects. Test scores and a photo are optional.
For tutors
Know your subject.
Care about the learner.
Good tutoring starts with listening. Help someone understand the next step, then give them room to take it.
Getting started as a tutor
Prepare a useful profile.
Keep subjects specific, your teaching approach clear, and your practical details current. An application is reviewed before its profile is published.
Choose how you contribute.
You can express interest in paid tutoring, community-service tutoring, or both. Confirm the arrangement before each session and record the two separately.
Make the learning visible.
- Find the starting point.
Ask the learner to explain what they already understand and where they get stuck.
- Explain one idea clearly.
Use a diagram, familiar example, or small step that connects to what they know.
- Let the learner try.
Ask them to work through the next example or explain the idea in their own words.
- Finish with a next step.
Summarize what changed and choose something useful to practice.
Keep the relationship clear.
Agree on the subject, time, format, location, and any rate before meeting. Keep the family informed when plans change. Help students do their own work; tutoring should not become completing graded assignments for them.
Keep your profile current.
Approved tutors can use their account to update appropriate profile details and availability. Some changes need administrator review. General available days describe when you may be able to help; they do not reserve an appointment.
Keep a useful session record.
Record the date, duration, subject, and whether a session was paid or community service. Check service-hour requirements with the receiving school or organization before relying on credit.
