How to Tutor the Adult Learner
Most of the time, your tutoring students will be school-aged children. Sometimes, however, you may be approached to tutor an adult. An adult student could be someone who is doing upgrading in college, or an older adult who is changing careers and needs a refresher to get into a different program.
It is important to respect and understand your adult learner. As a tutor we should be promoting the idea of people being life-long learners, and we should also be doing that ourselves. Continually working toward being a more effective tutor involves learning and growing.
Adults may face a lot more stress and pressures in going back to school or procuring tutoring than children might face. For example, adults will be juggling family and work, and now adding being tutored to the mix. Adults may be facing pressures to pass exams for upgrading in their work, or they might not have family support in their learning endeavors.
As a tutor you will want to be very sensitive to these issues. In the end, as their tutor you will need to balance being sympathetic to their issues and demanding the right amount of commitment from them to ensure they get the most from your tutoring.

How To Become a Tutor and Earn Extra Money:
If you are wondering how to become a tutor, keep reading and I will do my best to give you the information you need.
Tutoring is one of the fastest growing home-based businesses that you can find. There are many options available to you, including working as a private tutor, tutoring online for an online tutoring agency, tutoring locally for a tutoring center, or tutoring students who are taking classes by distance learning or correspondence.
Setting up a tutoring business, in which you have a group of tutors working for you, is also an option you should consider. Many skilled and experienced people are looking for online tutoring jobs or local tutoring positions. If you are interested in running your own little-or big- business, this may be the choice for you.
First you will need to decide...do you want to tutor online? If you do, the whole world is your marketplace. Do you want to tutor in person only? This is very satisfying and rewarding, and there is great demand for local tutors who can meet in person with their students for tutoring instruction.
Next, you will need to decide...how will you do your marketing for your tutoring business? You can put up signs locally where accepted. You can advertise online, you can ask your friends to spread the word. For the 25 years I have been tutoring, I have used only word of mouth advertising and I have more students than I can possibly take on for tutoring.
How much will you charge? What hours will you work? How much tutoring will you do in a week? Where will you do the tutoring? Are you knowledgeable about tutoring regulations in your country?
Once you have answered all these questions, it is time to proceed with your plan. Get some students, and start sharing your skills. You will be helping someone else and making good money at the same time.
