Sample Tutor Resume
If you are seeking work as a tutor, you are going to want to have a resume you can show people who are considering hiring you.
Header
In the header of your resume, make sure you include your name as well
as the contact information you want people to use. So if you don't
necessarily think people will be mailing you any correspondence, you
don't need to include your mailing address. On the other hand, if you
would like for people email you, then you need to include the email
address you want for them to use. You should also include at least one
telephone number where you can be reached. If the best way to contact
you is by calling your cell phone, then that's the phone number you
need to type on your resume.
Tutoring/Teaching Experience
After your header, you should include any relevant tutoring or teaching
experience you have had. The only exception to this rule would be if
you had very little teaching experience but have a degree in something
like education. In that case, you should list your education before
your experience. When you list your teaching experience, start from the
most recent job you have held to the least recent one. For those of you
who don't have much experience with teaching or tutoring, make sure you
put in any kind of work you have done with children from babysitting to
camp counseling to youth coaching. Basically the more you have worked
with kids, the better your chances are of landing a tutoring job. When
you list your experience, include the name of the company you worked
for, the city and state the company is in, your job title, the dates
when you worked there, and your job duties. When writing a description
of your job, make sure to use lots of action verbs.
Education/Awards
Since tutors share their knowledge with others, it is crucial they have
a good education. As a result, listing not only the schools you
attended and your majors but also any relevant courses you took that
are related to the subjects you can tutor is important on your resume.
You should also include any academic awards your received as well as
any relevant clubs participated in. So, let's say you want to be a
Spanish tutor, and you participated in the Spanish club, you should
definitely include that on your resume. Additionally, you should list
any scholarships you received as well as any applicable certifications
you have.
