How can we get more students?

Choose the subject(s) you will tutor. If possible, select subjects relating to your own expertise, subject of study, or professional experience. Consider the age range with which you'd like to work. Second graders and high school juniors will have widely varying levels and needs. Get some experience tutoring, formally if possible. See if your local library has an adult literacy program. Look for volunteer tutoring opportunities in your area and find out whether any offer tutor training. Or, tutor somebody you know, such as a neighbor or family member. Consider taking classes or training in how to teach. There is more to it than knowing the subject you'll teach. You also have to know about how to motivate students and explain things. Decide how much you will charge. Evaluate your credentials and experience, and find out what others in your area charge. read less
