As a part-time online tutor, your duties are to conduct online tutoring sessions where you go over specific lesson plans or material that your student has already covered in a class. Your responsibilities start with assessing your student’s study skills, competency in the subject you tutor, and academic goals. After assessing your client, you design your sessions to help them improve their skills and figure out how they can direct their own learning. Some virtual tutors do one-on-one sessions, while others teach group sessions. You typically conduct your sessions over video chat, but there are other options.
