How to Format a Math Tutor Resume
Add value to your resume with a well-structured format. A great resume format is a formula to send recruiters straight to your best attributes regardless of your experience level.
If you have held a senior-level position or have an extensive work history of 10 years or more, the chronological resume format starts by listing your years of experience as a math tutor first. Meanwhile, job seekers with less than three years of experience, career gaps, or who have just switched to tutoring can market their skills and volunteer work with a functional resume.
Let’s take a look at two sample job seekers. The first candidate uses the chronological format to show their long work history. In contrast, the second job seeker wows recruiters with their knowledge and abilities.

Math Tutor Duties and Responsibilities
Math tutors perform varied daily tasks based on how many students they tutor, the environment where they perform tutoring sessions, and the grade levels of their students. However, there are several core duties associated with this job:
Meet and Motivate Students Math tutors meet with students regularly to discuss and go over math coursework. Throughout this process, tutors offer encouragement and support to keep students motivated and ready to learn.
Assist with Homework Math tutors assist students with homework, teaching them how to perform the calculations needed to complete their assignments. They also teach students basic classroom skills such as note-taking, studying, and test-taking.
Teach Mathematical Processes Math tutors teach students various mathematical concepts, processes, and computations.
Take Attendance Math tutors keep records of student attendance.

Math Tutor Education and Training
Many employers require math tutors to have a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, though some employers will accept candidates who have a high school diploma and a strong grasp of math at all levels of learning. Some employers and individuals require math tutors to have a teaching license. Each state issues teaching licenses based on its own standards. Because math tutors often travel to students’ homes and schools, a valid driver’s license is also usually required by employers. Companies who hire math tutors provide some training in basic student interactions and in using specific software programs and tutoring materials. This training period varies by employer. Individuals who hire math tutors, however, do not provide training.
Math Tutor Salary and Outlook
PayScale data shows that tutors earn a median hourly salary of $15.47. In comparison, middle school teachers earn a median annual salary of $57,720, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The BLS expects employment of middle school teachers to rise 8 percent through 2026. Math tutors, who typically work part-time hours and usually find employment from individuals, do not generally receive benefits. Math tutors who are hired by individuals work on an independent contractor basis. Some math tutors who find full-time work through a business receive basic healthcare coverage that includes major medical insurance.
