How do I become a tutor? Please help!?
Well, here's the point of this: How do you become a tutor?
I'm 14 years-old, and in 8th grade. Next year, I'm going to be a freshman, and I'm going to do online courses to graduate early. I was thinking about tutoring little kids, possibly elementary students and kids who are in middle school. I think it might be better for them to get tutor from someone whose the same age as them rather than someone whose an adult. I know that some tutoring facilities won't hire me. But I am pretty smart. I get all As and I'm an extremely hard worker. My science teacher told me that taking 9th grade biology in high school would just be a waste of my time, so he told me to just take AP biology and all AP and Honor classes.
Honestly, I'm doing tutoring because I want the experience to be with kids, I know I want to be a mom when I'm older and I want to become a pediatrican. I'm not a very "sporty" person, I use to be but now I'm more attached to work than sports. So on my college application, when they don't see sports I hope they'll see something better like tutoring or volunteer work.
How do I start a tutoring job? Like what should I do? Put up signs?

Talk to some of your former elementary school teachers. Let them know that you would like to tutor and they may be able to pass your name and phone number along to parents. Also, ask the principal if you can post an information sheet on the bulletin board in the office so parents will see your name and number when they come in to pick up or drop off their students. In order to begin tutoring at such a young age you will need to talk to these adults so that parents will trust you with their children. Also, you'll need to be able to tell parents where you want to do the tutoring. Your public library or the elementary school would be a good place to try.
Good luck!
Some schools have arrangements with lower schools to have student tut
