Tutoring Jobs FAQs
What qualifications do I need to be a tutor?
To be a tutor you need a strong understanding of the content that you intend to help students with. To apply to be a tutor, you need to either be enrolled in or have completed post-secondary education related to math, science, or engineering. Tutors need to have good grades! We review all of our tutors GPA’s during the application process. Another important aspect of tutoring is communication. Tutors need to have good communication skills, be patient, and be kind.
What courses do we help with?
We help with math, science, and engineering in both:
- High School (Grades 9-12)
- College and University (1st and 2nd year)
What are the requirements for in-person tutoring?
To be a tutor in person, you need to live in a high-demand area and have access to reliable transportation. The high-demand areas that we work with are the Greater Victoria Area, Sooke, and Saanich. Our in-person tutoring usually takes place in students’ homes, coffee shops, or libraries. As a tutor, you need to be able to quickly commute to each student, so a vehicle or bike is necessary.
What are the requirements for online tutoring?
To be an online tutor you need access to a private workplace with high-speed internet and the appropriate computer equipment. Tutors need a computer, tablet, webcam, and microphone to be able to tutor online effectively. Our online tutors must be located in Canada.
Do I need experience to get a tutoring job?
No experience is required! We provide tutors with training materials and course materials to help you learn the course content as well as how to be a good tutor. It is expected that our tutors have a strong base knowledge of the content they intend to tutor. The course materials we provide are intended for you to review the materials so that when you jump into a session, you feel confident with the content.
Where do I find students as a tutor?
We handle that for you! Our job is to find students who want to hire a tutor. We interview each student to ensure that they are a good fit for our services. Once a student is registered, we connect them with a tutor and you take it from there.
