How to become a math tutor?

Some Math Tutor positions require a bachelor’s degree in mathematics or a related field, but others only need an associate degree or tutoring certification. You must have a clear understanding of math beyond the grade level you tutor and be able to clearly explain how to calculate answers in a variety of math problems. Math Tutors working in public schools may need a state tutoring license; private tutors do not have to meet the same state license requirements and can set their own rates and schedule. To become a certified Math Tutor, complete the tutor training courses offered by national tutoring groups, such as the National Tutoring Association (NTA) or the American Tutoring Association (ATA).
