1. For someone working in your field, please describe the fantasies versus realities of the job.
(fantasy vs. reality)
At the onset, most tutors imagine their success will depend on their knowledge of a particular subject.
However, most tutors find that they require patience and sympathy more than factual knowledge. Students need
motivation and study independence more than they need information.

2. What is your current educational level? What continuing education and training are required?
(educational level and requirements)
I have a Bachelors of Science in Political Science and am starting law school. Tutors are needed at every
level of education. Forming the habits and skills of tutoring provides lifelong benefits and opportunities.

3. Please describe the typical day to day activities of someone working in your field.
(day-to-day activities)
Tutors work either one-on-one or in tutoring labs. Whether a tutor is conducting a single session or
multiple sessions, the tutor must prepare materials, make the student feel comfortable, and listen carefully to
students needs. Other activities of a tutor may be professional development, tutor coordination, self-assessment,
administrative tasks, and connecting with instructors.

Revised Fall 2013

4. How secure are you in your current position? What do you think is the future of your field?
(job security)
I am sufficiently secure in my job. Since education is an expanding sector, I think tutors will be around
for a long time.

5. What is a typical (average or lowest to highest) salary of someone working in your field?
(salary)
Tutors make anywhere from minimum wage to more than fifty dollars per hour. This depends on the
tutors experience and the subject tutored.

6. What potential for growth is there in your field?


(growth potential)
I am certified by the College Reading and Learning Association, and many such tutor certifications exist.
Certification and experience increase the credibility of a tutor and in turn their salary.

7. What inspired/encouraged you to choose this career?


I found myself assisting other students in my classes and realized I could help my peers on a larger scale.

8. Are there too many or too few people entering the tutoring profession? Why?
Since more and more people are choosing to continue into higher education, I dont think there are too
many people in the profession.

9. Considering all the people you have met with in your line of work, what personal attributes are essential
for success?
Individuals who are lifelong learners, patient, and self-motivated tend to make the best tutors.

10. Why do people leave the field of tutoring?

Most use the character they build while tutoring to move into specific industries. Some move on
into academia but many choose other careers.
