Here at Schoolhouse, everyone is a learner—including our tutors! As a tutor, you'll build teaching and communication skills, emotional intelligence, relationship skills, problem-solving skills, and more.
Your Schoolhouse Journey helps track the skills you've built and privileges you've unlocked with any given subject. As you unlock new steps in the journey, your progress will also be tracked in your Schoolhouse portfolio.
Here's a quick summary of the levels in the journey!
Learner: Learn with other students from around the world by posting questions and discussions, attending sessions, and providing chat-based help to other learners.
Tutor: Pay it forward by tutoring what you've learned and earning volunteer hours for your efforts.
Senior Tutor: Gain recognition as a top tutor in the subject, and gain access to special opportunities.
To see your personal journey within a subject, please go to your Tutor dashboard and then click on the subject of interest. There, you'll see a list of steps you need to complete to progress to the next step of your journey.
You can update your tutoring interests (and, therefore, the subjects you see on your Tutor dashboard) by clicking on the + sign under Programs or Subjects.
FAQ
What happened to the 'Contributor' role?
We retired the Contributor role, so if you were a Contributor before, you'll now be at the learner level. However, we've updated our learner level so you can ask up to 5 questions per week in help channels! As a former Contributor, you're also one step closer to becoming a Tutor in the subject, at which point you can post unlimited questions.
What happened to the 'Moderator' and 'Coach' roles?
We still have Moderators and Coaches, like before! They no longer show on the journey, but you can still apply for the roles, and they will still show up as a badge on your profile and portfolio.
What's considered an 'engaging session' when qualifying for the Senior Tutor role?
Please see this FAQ for non-SAT bootcamp sessions, or this FAQ to learn how we track things within the SAT bootcamp context.
Do honorary certifications count towards the "Become fully certified" requirement for becoming a Senior Tutor?
AP certifications do count towards the "fully certified" requirement to be a senior tutor. In the SAT Prep subject, completing the SAT Math or R&W certification meets the "fully certified" criteria. For more information on requesting an honorary certification, please read this FAQ article and/or this FAQ article.
