An SAT tutor helps students prepare for the SAT college admissions exam. SAT tutors must be knowledgeable about test questions, scoring, and effective study methods. To become an SAT tutor, earn an associate or bachelor’s degree; any field of study is acceptable. An exceptional SAT score displays your mastery of the test to potential employers and clients. Decide whether you want to work for a tutoring company or as a freelance SAT tutor. Either path requires professional references who can attest to your prior tutoring experience. Tutoring companies market your skills to bring in clients. Freelance SAT tutors need to network with friends and area schools to find potential clients, but have more flexibility in creating their schedule, establishing their fees, and choosing a tutoring location.
