Reason #3: A teacher has recommended summer tutoring to help a student who needs an academic boost.
A teacher is often the first person to realize that a little (or a lot) of help is needed for a student in addition to what's can be given in the classroom. This is especially true in the summer - think about it, a teacher reviews the grade book, and knows a student could do better, but a subject hasn't clicked for them yet.
In this case, you'll often be called upon to help bring the student up to speed for an upcoming class, or even a class that might need to be repeated.
This is a great opportunity for you as a tutor, because it gives you the chance to not only help a student understand the academic concepts of a specific course, but it also gives you a chance to instill a sense of self-confidence and enthusiasm in a potentially nervous student.
