A wonderful new opportunity has arisen for individuals who have an academic expertise but cannot work full-time. Being a tutor has become much more simple with this great initiative.
Wyzant is a technology based tutoring business which aims to connect tutors and students alike, all over the nation. The idea is that those who would like to teach and those who need to learn would both submit information to the Wyzant database. From there, tutors and students may search for the person that suits their needs.
The tutor and student would then agree on their own dates, times, rates, and locations without the input of Wyzant (though payment first goes through the company). Applicants need not have a teaching degree but experience teaching or substituting or tutoring would be ideal.
This type of work setup seems ideal particularly for Muslim women who do not want to commit to a full-time job but could use some extra cash. It is also a good way to keep the mind fresh; don't forget your math or language skills, use them to help others!
With the University of Michigan offering an extensive Middle Eastern and Arabic language program, a plethora of local students will need tutoring help. Muslims can be pivotal in helping these students get the grades they want in these types of classes.
Another great thing about Wyzant is that you can mention preferences and specifications in your tutor profile. For example, if you are Muslim male and only feel comfortable tutoring other males, it is certainly your prerogative to state so on your page.
The Wyzant company started up in 2005 and is a legitimate site with a good reputation according to the Better Business Bureau. It now has over 20,000 certified tutors available. Perhaps you would like to join the team?
