How to become a literacy tutor?

A literacy tutor is responsible for helping teach students to read through the use of reading materials and a literacy program. To become a professional literacy tutor, you typically need a bachelor’s degree in English or a related subject. Tutoring training and certification programs are also available. Many people in this career begin as teachers or have other experience in education. If you work as a literacy tutor for a public school, state licensure may also be required.
