How to Get Online Tutoring Jobs
Online tutors receive upwards to $1600 a month depending on their performance, their availability and the need for their services. These online tutoring companies are located within the United States, Canada and India and services are available to citizens living within these countries. However these companies have strict guidelines for individuals who wish to become online tutors.
- Complete a bachelor degree program in your preferred subject. This selection is based on what subject you intend to teach. As you may know a bachelor degree is required before you are eligible to apply for admission into a master degree program.
- Complete a master degree program in the same subject that you completed your bachelor degree program. This master degree is required by all online tutoring organizations. Without this degree level you do not qualify for an online tutor job.
- Ensure that you are a legal resident in the country for which you are applying for work as an online tutor. As stated these positions are available in the United States, Canada and India. You are required to prove your citizenship and eligibility to the organization for which you are applying for an online tutor position. For example if the online tutoring organization is located in the United States you are required to have a valid social security card, birth certificate and a driver's license or valid non-driver ID. You are required to submit these documents to the organization before you are considered for a position.
- Pass the extensive testing required by the organization. Each online tutoring organization requires that you complete a series of tests that evaluate your skills in your preferred subject. Before you begin testing you are required to determine which skill level and/or grade level in which you wish to tutor students. This skill and/or grade level determines which testing you are required to complete.
- Meet the technological requirements. You must possess a computer with a high-speed connection, at least Windows XP, a single core processor within your computer and Windows Internet Explorer.
- Wait for an answer from the online tutor organization once you have completed all testing. You are notified by email and/or phone when you are hired.
