How to Format a Private Tutor Resume
As a private tutor, your job applications can benefit from skills- or experience-based approach. You can use a skills-based resume if you specialize in specific subjects. For example, Candidate A has more experience working with teenagers and young adults on literature-based subjects. A functional resume helps them break their skills and experience based on those desirable skills.
However, most parents and hiring managers are familiar with experience-based resumes like chronological or hybrid resumes. These resume formats use highly detailed timelines to describe previous employers and their related responsibilities. A private tutor like Candidate B can use these formats to demonstrate years of experience, steady employment and the average number of students tutored.

Private Tutor Resume FAQ.
How do you describe a private tutor on a resume?
You can use three strategic resume sections to describe your tutoring experience – the resume summary, work history, and skills sections.
- Resume objective or summary statement: After your name and contact information, this is the first opportunity hiring managers have to learn about your qualifications or motivations. Use this section to highlight academic specialties like earth science, advanced math, elementary tutoring or relevant experience related to a job’s requirements.
- Work history: Hiring managers work off one or two pages of information to find the right candidate. Your work history section is your best opportunity to pitch your skills and accomplishments. Focus on data like the number of students you tutored, the percentage of grade improvements or specialized courses.
- Skills: This final section of your resume may be as lightly detailed as a simple list of skills or highly detailed descriptions of various achievements under skill-based clusters.
