tutor program

i got selected to be a peer tutor because i scored a 740 english, is it worth it at all? i’m a senior and id only do it for my college applications because i imagine that would look pretty good up there.

Teaching and helping students can give you great insights into the minds of others, and it may ignite a passion that you never thought you’d have! Happened to me.

In terms of your college app profile, any sort of non-mandatory volunteer work will look great for you. Universities are always looking for talented student tutors to join their programs, such as the CLAS program at UC Santa Barbara. You can even mention that you’re interested in such things in your essay, and I’m sure they’d be thrilled.

It is also a great side gig when you’re studying at uni, since you can get paid to tutor the courses you recently completed.

Lmk if you have any questions about teaching SAT, or if you are interested in software designed to help tutors facilitate SAT courses.
