Tutoring Job Overview:

A tutor works with students and enables them to perform at a higher level academically. Often tutors are found as independents or in companies specializing in educational tutoring. Tutors meet with students privately or in a group setting to oversee the completion of school assignments or strengthen effective study habits. Additionally, a tutor works to elaborate on concepts learned in the classroom while the students improve test-taking skills and essential soft skills needed in education.

The goal of a tutor is to assist students and promote a deeper understanding of course materials and knowledge. Education varies widely depending on the subject taught and the age group associated, so Sentry Tutors interview candidates thoroughly to be the best.
