| TutaPoint.com: A Place for passionate Teaching Professionals |
|
|
|
As teaching professionals, nothing compares with that moment when a student truly learns something new, fully grasping a previously foreign concept or idea. Passionate teachers strive to make that special moment of understanding happen every day, often applying their special brand of patience outside of the classroom to just about anyone who needs a little educational TLC. For teachers like these, education is not just a job, but a way of life. Sound familiar? If so, then TutaPoint.com is proud to offer you a new forum - a place where students in need reach out for academic help only you can provide.

Beyond comprehension of an academic subject, tutors should be able to successfully communicate with students in an online learning environment.
Prospective tutors will be asked to fill out an application, demonstrate their skills, and provide references. Upon their entrance into the program, tutors must also complete a final video interview. To ensure the safety of our students, tutors must also undergo a criminal background check.

Tutors are paid as independent contractors twice per month. Payments are made via check or direct deposit. To start, tutors are paid $12 per hour in addition to bonuses and incentives.
Tutors are paid for the time they spend with students. TutaPoint.com does not guarantee that tutors will receive a minimum amount of hours.
As independent contractors, taxes are not deducted from a tutor's earning. When a tutor earns more than $600 in a year, an IRS Form 1099 will be sent to the tutor during tax season.
