How to Start Tutoring Spanish

If product packaging is any indication, Spanish has become more abundant in the United States than ever before. It is common to see products as diverse as toys and shampoo with Spanish writing alongside English. Plus, employers in a wide array of industries covet Spanish-speaking employees. So, if you are a fluent Spanish speaker you can use your skills to tutor students in this useful language.

Instructions

    • 1

      Hone your own Spanish skills. If you are a native Spanish speaker, make sure you can spell the words correctly and that you are familiar with proper grammatical structure. If you learned Spanish on your own or in school, brush up on common vocabulary words.

      Consider your other teaching qualifications. Are you a teacher by profession? Have you ever taught or tutored before? Have you worked with children in any other context? When looking for a tutor, parents will look for someone who knows the subject material and can relay the information well.

    • 3

      Market yourself by telling parents that you are beginning to tutor Spanish.

    • 4

      Ask local schools if you can post notices in their hallway or office with your phone number so students can contact you. Introduce yourself to Spanish teachers at local schools so they can recommend your services to their struggling students.

      Consider applying to a professional tutoring company for full- or part-time work. A pro of a such an arrangement is that the marketing and screening process is taken care of for you, but the con is that a cut of your profit will go to the company.
