  • As a company of teachers, TutorCentral is also constantly applying procedures and participating in studies that enhance the delivery of learning which only directly benefits students. For instance, we are currently involved in studies that show significant letter grade improvements for most students when total learning methods (consisting of instructional, demonstrative, collaborative, and individual components) are applied. We provide our tutors with training in these and other pedagogical methods and technology tools to help them apply them.

  Tutors

  • Teach anytime, anywhere, anyway(face-to-face, online, email), and any subject (for which you are qualified to teach). Set your schedule to your convenience.
  • Use our powerful online classrooms to teach over the Internet with real video and audio capability (no separate phone needed) and whiteboard with instructional tools (like a blackboard in a classroom). See sample screens here. Some of our tutors have used these facilities to teach students located several time zones away from them and some have taught students only a few hours away.
  • Each tutor has a work area supported by a powerful content management system for creating and maintaining educational material to support the goal of tutoring that might include face-to-face, online, and offline components. You may create quizzes online, lesson plans and assignments and enable your student upload their work all in a secure environment.
  • Safe and secure payment brokering system - removes the responsiblity of assuring payment for your services when performed as contracted.
  • No registration fees ensures that you do not have to spend anything until you receive compensation for your own knowledge and efforts.
  • Very low commissions that will only get lower with increasing participation and numbers.
    
    
• TutorCentral is set up and operated by teachers and is intended to be run by and reward teachers in every community in which it is active.
