Top Types Of Professional Tutor Jobs

• Tutor

  Salary range: $30,000 - $50,000

  Tutors help students work through tough assignments or support the lessons from their classroom teachings. A student may not grasp something in a hectic classroom but excel when learning from a tutor in a one-on-one environment. Online tutors can reach students across the world, and private after-school tutors can help a child through a tricky math problem. Tutors can be students themselves in peer programs, teachers or teacher assistants, or educated degree-holders who wish to help students succeed.

• Part Time Online Tutor

  Salary range: $36,000 - $36,000

  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.

• Weekend Tutor

  Salary range: $30,000 - $50,000

  Weekend tutors help students with their homework, school projects, or understanding specific lessons in a subject. In this role, you primarily work on Saturdays and Sundays, though some employers may consider Friday evenings part of the weekend. The tutoring may focus on one field or on many subjects. This part-time position lets you work with others to develop positive study habits and help them to understand the material better. Weekend tutors may work with groups of students or offer private, one-on-one sessions, and may be in-person or conducted through virtual portals. The age of students you work with depends on your level of expertise; some focus on elementary, middle, or high school students, while others tutor at the college level.

• Remote Tutor

  Salary range: $30,000 - $50,000

  The job duties of a remote tutor involve helping students work on assignments or learn subjects via an online or virtual connection. As a remote tutor, your exact responsibilities may depend on your employer, the level at which you tutor, and the age or needs of your students. For example, you may simply help with assignments or provide more extensive teaching. You may video chat, email, or voice chat with your clients and assist them with homework or exam preparations. Some tutors offer additional instruction for students who struggle with a particular subject. You may work on a freelance basis or for a specific school or virtual tutoring company.

• Online Tutor

  Salary range: $36,000 - $36,000

  An online tutor provides academic support to students using distance-learning formats, such as video calls, instant messaging, and screen sharing. As an online tutor, you can have one-on-one tutoring sessions with a single student, or you can host group tutoring sessions for several students who are studying the same subject. Your duties are to prepare a lesson plan for each session and teach concepts and study habits to students who are struggling or simply want to reinforce their skills in a subject.
