Private Tutor Resume FAQ

How do you describe a private tutor on a resume?

You can use three strategic resume sections to describe your tutoring experience - the resume summary, work history, and skills sections.

  1. Resume objective or summary statement: After your name and contact information, this is the first opportunity hiring managers have to learn about your qualifications or motivations. Use this section to highlight academic specialties like earth science, advanced math, elementary tutoring or relevant experience related to a job's requirements.
  2. Work history: Hiring managers work off one or two pages of information to find the right candidate. Your work history section is your best opportunity to pitch your skills and accomplishments. Focus on data like the number of students you tutored, the percentage of grade improvements or specialized courses.
  3. Skills: This final section of your resume may be as lightly detailed as a simple list of skills or highly detailed descriptions of various achievements under skill-based clusters.

  • Preparing lessons and study guides.
  • Reviewing and revising homework assignments.
  • Creating test prep materials
  • Adapting teaching style and materials to meet the unique needs of students.
