About this ebook

The coronavirus pandemic has changed the nature of education. Education districts now deliver content in person, virtually, or in a hybrid format. What is clear is that students around the world have lost potentially years of learning due to the virus, and schools are struggling to address the learning gaps if they are back in session. Tutoring can provide the link to help students remediate, maintain, or advance their learning. Whether in a one-on-one or small group setting, tutors can provide a safe, supportive link to student success. Tutors can work part-time, full-time, individually or in a tutoring firm, in person or virtually, with children, teens, or adults, in traditional academic, vocational, or career topics. This e-book gives you everything you need to successfully start as a private tutor. We wish you the best of success for you and for your students!

About the author

Cynthia A. Harden has been an educator for over 35 years, including 10 years as the owner-operator of her own tutoring business which included 20 independent contractor tutors to address a wide variety of school topics. As a successful entrepreneur, Cynthia experienced first-hand the significant educational benefits that resulted from one-on-one and small group tutoring and successfully blended both teaching and tutoring into a lifelong career. As she states, "This is the only job I've ever had where the goal is to work myself out of a job--when the student is able to use his/her new skills successfully in the classroom, I know my work is done." Though no longer actively teaching, Cynthia continues to privately tutor students of all ages.
