Tutors wanted: Experienced, dedicated tutors are more in demand than ever

For tutors

In 2021, The Economist forecasted that the pandemic would "spur the worldwide growth of private tutoring." They weren’t wrong. Lost classroom time due to school closures and gaps in education as a result of fully-virtual classes gave many families the impetus to hire tutors to supplement and support their children's learning. 

To meet the escalated demand, the tutoring industry grew by nearly 50% between 2016 and 2022. More than ever, families across the country are seeking experienced, dedicated tutors for their children.

The demand isn't going away

The global demand for tutors that can instruct effectively through online sessions is at an all-time high. The private tutoring market is estimated to reach $201.8 billion by 2026. While the interest in tutoring increased during and after the pandemic, the industry has shown promise well beyond addressing pandemic concerns.

Families have found ongoing virtual tutoring sessions offer easy access to additional academic support from home. And they’ve discovered other benefits, as well. Tutoring gives children an edge in a number of different areas:

  • Help preparing for college entrance exams
  • The development of effective study habits
  • Improved critical thinking and problem solving skills
  • Increased self-esteem and self-confidence
  • The freedom to explore subject matter more deeply

With so many advantages, parents are increasingly searching for supplemental instruction and the demand for tutoring has reached well beyond helping only those students who are struggling. 

The benefits of becoming a tutor

Educators, retired teachers, and experienced tutors have the opportunity to enrich lives by reaching and teaching students beyond the classroom while earning supplemental income.
