What's it like to be a Tutor?
Tutors provide one-on-one or group teaching services to pupils who may be having a hard time grasping concepts at school. They must be well-versed in the subject at hand and can patiently explain lessons. Tutoring sessions may be done face-to-face or online, and are scheduled on school days after class hours or weekly, depending on the learners' availability. Tutors may charge rates on a per hour or session basis.

How to become a Tutor
Aspiring Tutors will find that holding a degree in education or the subject being taught will be advantageous. They should be able to prove their expertise level by highlighting their academic record and credentials on their resume.
- Pass the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), also known as the Malaysian Certificate of Education.
- Undergo the 1-year Program Persediaan Ijazah Sarjana Muda Perguruan (PPISMP) and enter the four-year Program Ijazah Sarjana Muda Perguruan (PISMP) at Tutor’s Training Institutes (IPG).
- You can also complete a matriculation, or pass the Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM), a Malaysian Higher School Certificate examination.
- If taking the matriculation or STPM routes, apply for an education degree. You can also opt to not get an education degree and apply as a Tutor in a primary or secondary school setting. Alternatively, you can also join companies which offer tutoring classes online.
