Chapters
A tutor provides the necessary supplement to a student. The knowledge that a student misses to comprehend in the school is congruously provided by the tutor. Home tutoring is not only to fill the voids that are hauled from the classroom but also to nourish every quality of the tutee. In simple words, it can be said that the tutor plays an indispensable role in making a student 'qualified', which is also the reason why a tutor gets much respect in Indian society.
But have you ever wondered what qualifications do you need teaching jobs in India? Or is there any additional requirement to get online tuition jobs in India?
Private tutoring is still largely a part of the informal sector in India. Expect for the general laws, there are no major rules and regulations guiding and formalising this field. Nonetheless, online tutoring jobs are somehow more in a proper framework.
If you want a proper salary, job security, provident fund, and all other benefits which an employee working in a company gets, you should choose an online platform in any organization. Let us now proceed to learn whether you need any educational qualification, teaching certification or professional degree in India to become a tutor online or offline.
How To Start Your Online Teaching Job?
With the rise in the number of online teaching platforms, the teaching profession has seen its first change. The education sector is changing its landscape from offline to online, faster internet, location flexibility has made online teaching an amazing concept to look into for teachers across India. A country where home tutors are considered for almost all steps of a kid's education ladder. Online teaching platforms have added a new dimension to teaching as a profession.
Many teachers are now shifting their passion for teaching from offline to online and adding the comfort of online teaching in their professional CVs.
This article deals with everything one must know about Online teaching and offline tutoring.
How To Become a Home Tutor?
Let us not restrict the definition of qualification merely to an academic degree. In a broader sense, qualification means how proficient you are and what teaching skills you do possess. In general, there are no stringent qualification rule-set that you need to follow to become eligible for any tutor jobs. Having said this, it would not be generous to skip over other qualifications like college degrees that you should need.
Subject Proficiency
It is the most obvious thing that you need to have for becoming a subject teacher. You must be possessing a comprehensive understanding of basic tenets as well as have advanced knowledge of the subjects which you are going to teach. For instance, if you are an English teacher, you must have a good command in English, which would only be possible if you have studied the subject.
Furthermore, if you are going to be a math tutor and teach a CBSE class 11 student, then you should at least have passed class 12 and knows the subject well. In other words, your educational qualification must be equal to or greater than the same of the tutee's. Although there is rarely any special degree course for a tutor, you can still pursue advanced programs of the subjects in which you intend to teach.
See the various online teaching jobs on Superprof.
Work Experience
In case you have no experience in teaching, then you would be gaining it in the course of your tutoring job and subsequently, the thing demands patience for firm establishment into the teaching platform.
On the other hand, if you have been in teaching jobs for quite a few years, tutees would likely prefer you over others. Just like in all other types of professions, experience holders are preferred in tutoring as well. Moreover, only in a few years of teaching, you will get versed with subjects, the structure of the syllabus, time allocation for each of the segments and acquaintance with students' general strong and weak points.
Board-Specific Knowledge
What makes a tutor different from a standard school teacher? The fact he/she knows and can adjust to the disparities of different boards. Although the overall content is the same, differences are noticeable in the syllabus, and level of difficulty across the educational boards.
Indian parents prefer tutors who have experience in teaching students of a particular board. Thereby, you should teach students from all boards i.e; CBSE, ICSE, and the state board. This practice will also allow you to get more tutees and earn money thereby.
Qualifications Required to Become an Online Tutor In India?
Online tutor jobs can be categorized into two types. At first, comes those who give tutoring sessions right through the internet using video classes, e-books, etc. Then we have online tutors whom students can contact via the website channel or directly.
Online tutoring: Research conducted by Kantar IMRB forecasts that internet users in India will reach the mark of 627 million in 2019. The report also reveals that the rural areas of the country have witnessed an exponential increase in the number of internet users.
This expansion is also assisting tutors to teach online even in remote areas where a good primary school and quality education are still desired. There are a plethora of tutoring companies that provide online education and classes to students of all divisions.
However, unlike the informal or offline tutoring sector, there will be a requirement of certain qualifications before these companies hire, some including necessary background checks. On the greener side, most of these companies pay a fixed salary and overtime allowance as well.
The next thing you need to have is fair familiarity with working from home online. Although the institution will likely train you for the same, a certain level of understanding is always good to have. Except for the aforementioned particularities, everything remains the same as that of offline tutoring jobs.
Thereafter, the online platforms that provide private tutors may or may not demand specific educational qualifications from you. This entirely depends upon the organization itself. Apart from the above-mentioned two online tuition jobs, there is yet another way of getting online tutoring services, which are offered by Superprof. It is a platform where students can find online tutors in their locality itself. But how is it different from other tutoring platforms? And most importantly, what qualifications do you need to for tutoring via Superprof?

Degree Courses Recommend for Teachers To Become A Teacher?
Bachelor Degree Courses: There are many bachelors degree or courses under the University Grant Commission (UGC) offered by a plethora of universities. These courses can be pursued if you want a grip over certain subjects to kickstart your online teaching career. For instance, if you are planning to teach PCM (Physics, Chemistry and Maths) then opting for B.Sc (Bachelor of Science) would be highly suitable.
Teacher Training Courses
For gaining technical teaching skills and not just academic knowledge, you can go for teacher training courses of a suitable duration. There are many institutions across the country offering these types of training to aspirants. The certificate obtained after the completion, of course, plays a handy role in enhancing your tutoring career.
