What's it like to be a Tutor?
Tutors provide one-on-one or group teaching services to pupils who may be having a hard time grasping concepts at school. They must be well-versed in the subject at hand and can patiently explain lessons. Tutoring sessions may be done face-to-face or online, and are scheduled on school days after class hours or weekly, depending on the learners' availability. Tutors may charge rates on a per hour or session basis.
Tasks and duties

- Reviewing lessons with students.

- Coming up with learning assessment tools such as quizzes and games.

How to become a Tutor
Aspiring Tutors will find that holding a degree in education or the subject being taught will be advantageous. They should be able to prove their expertise level by highlighting their academic record and credentials on their resume.
