Join a tutoring lab at your high school or college. These labs are run by school administration and can help you learn the basics of becoming an effective tutor.
Read books dedicated to leadership and teaching. Knowing how to lay out a tutoring session and how to check up on your students is critical if you want to maximize the success you create with each person.
Work with an established tutor. Shadowing an experienced tutor can show you how to deal with problem students, approach unique challenges, and lay out a lesson plan.
Participate in professional tutor training. The National Tutoring Association sponsors both online and real-world tutor training for people interested in becoming better tutors.
Tutor students whenever you are given the opportunity. You can learn a lot about tutoring from other tutors and books, but you will learn the most from your hands-on classroom experience.
