How can I become a summer tutor?

The qualifications for a summer tutor vary, but typically include a bachelor’s or master’s degree. Some employers require a tutor certificate process or seek out candidates with a background in a specific area, such as music or a foreign language. There is not a single standard certification program used across the United States, but there are specialized certification programs, like the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA). Many tutoring agencies reserve jobs for those with a degree in education, licensed teachers, graduate students with a master’s degree, or Ph.D. candidates.
