class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tutoring Job<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Tutors provide academic instruction to students &#8211; either individuals or groups &#8211; outside the classroom. Tutors have traditionally helped students with coursework, improving their grades, providing extra help to catch up with school lessons (remediation), and test prep tutoring. The tutors had to engage with the students at a very local\/community level. On top of that, the job of a tutor used to require a long-term engagement with the pupils in their communities. Parents often selected tutors based on their qualifications and certifications specific to tutoring. Therefore, being a tutor made sense only if you were committed to a career in tutoring.<\/p>\n<p>Online tutoring jobs have fundamentally changed the nature of the profession. On-demand tutoring is a type of online tutoring which allows you to utilize your subject knowledge without any long-term commitments to a client. This sector is poised to onboard qualified individuals all across the world into virtual or remote tutoring jobs. A number of online tutoring companies have launched operations with\u00a0virtual tutoring jobs for all educational levels &#8211; right from primary and secondary school academics to test prep to advanced college-level courses. However, if you want to become a successful tutor, you need to adopt a conscious approach to help you stand out in this competitive sector.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s understand how to become an online tutor step-by-step.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step1_Knowledge_and_passion_for_the_subject\"><\/span><strong>Step1: Knowledge and passion for the subject<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When we say knowledge of the subject, we don\u2019t mean academic qualifications. Having a degree or a diploma in math isn\u2019t enough for online math tutor jobs. You must remember that tutors need to address questions that the student didn\u2019t get answers for in the classroom. So, you need to have more knowledge or know a better teaching technique, or both, compared to the qualified classroom teacher. As you can see, knowledge and qualification aren\u2019t everything.<\/p>\n<p>Having passion for teaching the subject you\u2019ve chosen can make all the difference in an online tutoring job. Look at this example of a qualified and experienced math tutor. He decided to bypass norms and take up online English tutoring jobs purely out of love for the language. If you select a subject in which you are a natural expert, your teaching naturally elevates to another level. Your popularity ratings on the tutoring platforms go up.<\/p>\n<p>The first step is to identify your level of knowledge and experience in a particular area and the grades you can comfortably teach in that subject. Then ask yourself if that subject is the one you\u2019re passionate about. If yes, your chances of success improve greatly, and you\u2019ll likely end up with the best online tutoring jobs. That said, there are some tutors who teach multiple subjects in elementary tutoring or test prep tutoring. In such a case, you must be passionate in these areas at least to a certain level.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Decide_your_target_audience\"><\/span><strong>Step 2: Decide your target audience<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Since the tutoring industry has moved online, it doesn\u2019t matter where you\u2019re based while doing remote tutoring jobs, but it <em>matters <\/em>where your pupil is based. Defining your target audience is important so that you develop a sound knowledge of the local curriculum. If you want to target students following the US K12 system, you need to know what subjects\/topics are taught in each year. You also need to be up to date with any curriculum changes. As you can imagine, K12 would be significantly different from the UK&#8217;s 1st to 6th form system. Take US math for example which progresses from Algebra to Geometry to Trigonometry, and so on. Whereas in the UK, high school students learn a bit of everything every year (perhaps that\u2019s why they even pluralize math to maths!).<\/p>\n<p>There could be a Math expert in Russia taking up online math tutor jobs for students from the US and the UK. Now, if that Russian math tutor isn\u2019t adequately prepared with the curriculum differences between the US and the UK, he\u2019s bound to be met with a scowl from his pupils. Normally, individuals who have first-hand experience with a school system are better positioned to address the tutoring needs of the students.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s another angle you need to look at while deciding your target audience &#8211; type of tutoring intervention. There are different types of online tutoring jobs to help students in different ways. Remediation is when a struggling student needs help with catching up. Maintenance is when a good student needs to keep up the level. Test prep involves test strategies rather than subject knowledge. Enrichment involves advanced knowledge to upgrade their skills in a specific area. It\u2019s important that you bear these broad categories in mind before figuring out how to become an online tutor.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Qualifications_as_online_tutor\"><\/span><strong>Step 3: Qualifications as online tutor<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_792\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-792\" class=\"wp-image-792\" title=\"how to be a tutor \" src=\"https:\/\/vitutors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Teaching-experience-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"how to be a tutor \" width=\"900\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vitutors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Teaching-experience-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vitutors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Teaching-experience-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vitutors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Teaching-experience.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-792\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">how to be a tutor<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After you\u2019ve decided your student audience, the next step is obviously qualifications. You wouldn\u2019t have your kid tutored by a dropout, would you? Reputed tutoring agencies and online tutoring companies will require you to possess at least a bachelor&#8217;s degree or a diploma. You may start getting low end tutoring jobs with that, like proofing jobs. If you have a basic degree in a high demand field like math or English, then you can get one-on-one online tutoring jobs.<\/p>\n<p>However, the best online tutoring jobs go to the ones with formal training and certifications in tutoring. If you seriously want to become an online tutor and build a career in tutoring, you must take up courses that strengthen your profile on the platform. A recommended strategy is to start off in tutoring freelance with your basic degrees and make up your mind on whether you like your job. If the answer graduates to a <em>yes<\/em>, go ahead and invest in skill development certifications.<\/p>\n<p>As explained in the previous section, qualifications required are geography specific. Additionally, when you sign up for online tutoring jobs, certain platforms will need you to go through subject proficiency exams, teaching exercises, etc. This is to ensure quality on the platforms and good for your tutoring business as well.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Career_concentration\"><\/span><strong>Step 4: Career concentration<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is relevant for people wondering how to start a tutor business in order to build a career out of it. The highest paying online tutoring jobs are the specialist ones. For a beginner this could mean specializing in a subject like math tutor jobs or teaching English online jobs. You can even graduate to niches like Algebra tutoring, Calculus tutoring or English grammar tutoring. However, to build a successful career, start thinking about highly competitive fields like test prep tutoring.<\/p>\n<p>SAT\/ACT studies or GMAT prep are distinctly different from classroom studies. Because of the highly competitive nature of these tests, students often seek the help of test prep experts who can guide them with winning test strategies. Another highly specialized area is special needs tutoring for students with learning difficulties. When you become an online tutor start thinking about career specializations based on your interest and work towards them gradually. If you just want to do a short-term gig like tutoring freelance or picking up weekend tutoring jobs, then you can be relaxed about this aspect.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Cultivating_the_right_attitude\"><\/span><strong>Step 5: Cultivating the right attitude<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Working with young people has its perks as well as challenges. There are personality types and attitudes that are suited to teaching children. Tutors should be good listeners to gauge the mindset of learners. They must be adaptable &#8211; if the learner isn\u2019t responding to one methodology, the tutor devises another. Positivity is important particularly for students with learning difficulties so that they don\u2019t feel discouraged. You are likely going to succeed if you do all those things because, ultimately, a fun and engaging tutor bags the best online tutoring jobs.<\/p>\n<p>With the popularity of\u00a0online tutoring jobs, the need for these qualities is much greater because of the physical separation between the tutor and the pupil. You must learn how to be a tutor with the right set of soft skills if you want to build a career in online tutoring.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_6_Soft_skills_required_in_online_tutoring_jobs\"><\/span><strong>Step 6: Soft skills required in online tutoring jobs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Soft skills are not limited to personality skills when it comes to online tutoring jobs. There are specific teaching methodologies like the use of slides, interactive activities, gamified lessons, storytelling, etc., that can make online learning more engaging for your pupils. You must bear in mind that when you become an online tutor your pupils will leave reviews of your work. It is often observed that the most engaging and personable tutors get higher ratings than even the highly qualified ones.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_7_Tech_skills_specific_to_online_tutoring_jobs\"><\/span><strong>Step 7: Tech skills specific to online tutoring jobs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_791\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-791\" class=\"wp-image-791\" title=\"online tutoring jobs \" src=\"https:\/\/vitutors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Video-chat-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"online tutoring jobs \" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vitutors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Video-chat-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vitutors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Video-chat-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vitutors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Video-chat.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-791\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">online tutoring jobs<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Online tutoring jobs have moved well beyond white boards and markers. Teaching methodology has witnessed a sea change and the tutor\u2019s technology toolkit is a reflection of that. There are a variety of technology interfaces you need to get comfortable with, if you\u2019re planning on remote tutoring jobs. First and foremost is video chat in virtual classroom software. You will need to choose an interface that serves your teaching style.<\/p>\n<p>If your focus is teaching English online jobs, a traditional video chat app like Skype or Google Hangouts may just do the trick. For other subjects such as math tutor jobs, you may need great virtual whiteboard functionalities. If you and your students need to work together on a math exercise, you may need document collaboration tools. Some online tutoring software tools provide screen recording so that you can repeat\/reuse your lesson. There are homework management tools if you intend on giving your students any.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the physical separation, an online tutor has to work harder to hold the pupil\u2019s attention. These tools go a long way in improving the quality of instruction. So, if you want to become an online tutor be sure to spend sufficient time exploring related technologies.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_8_Familiarize_yourself_with_the_different_types_of_online_tutoring_jobs\"><\/span><strong>Step 8: Familiarize yourself with the different types of online tutoring jobs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are different ways in which you will have presence in the online tutoring world:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There are private one-on-one online tutoring jobs where a tutor and a pupil engage real-time.<\/li>\n<li>Drop-In online tutoring jobs are where you have a virtual version of walk-ins. It is conducted realtime and several students can join-in for a tutoring lecture at a specified time.<\/li>\n<li>Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are offered by several popular platforms to provide students with a flexible way to learn new skills or educational concepts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If private one-on-one tutoring is not for you or if you don\u2019t feel ready yet, but you believe you have the skill and knowledge to deliver a lesson, try your hands at MOOCs and see how that goes for you.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_9_Gain_work_experience\"><\/span><strong>Step 9: Gain work experience<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Remote tutoring jobs can be overwhelming for a beginner even if all the above steps with respect to knowledge, qualifications, and knowhow are in place. If you\u2019ve already been an educator and moving to online tutoring jobs, then you won\u2019t find this very daunting. But it\u2019s true for young college graduates looking for a side gig. While there are plenty of online tutoring jobs for college students, they may hesitate to tap into those opportunities for the fear of teaching someone new. Break the ice by teaching someone you know. Take a couple of practice sessions online with your friend\u2019s high school brother as the subject, if you must. Get a handle of the online tools so that you don\u2019t fumble in an actual tutoring job.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hit_the_ground_running_when_you_become_an_online_tutor\"><\/span><strong>Hit the ground running when you become an online tutor<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve addressed all the above aspects you should feel confident about your position as a tutor.
