How it Works

Get certified and apply

Before you tutor a session on Schoolhouse, you’ll need to get certified in one or more topics! Get certified in high-school math topics, SAT Prep, and more. Then, fill out a short application to let us know a little about you!

Get trained to tutor

Once your application is approved, complete a set of trainings (on your own time!) that will prepare you to lead a safe, successful first session.

Join the community

As you get ready to host your first session, you’ll join our vibrant Slack community of tutors and connect with a peer tutor who’s here to help you get acquainted to Schoolhouse. They’ll guide you through the process and give you publishing privileges for your first session.

Host your first session

Finally, host a session! Choose from any topic you’re currently certified in and specify a date, time, and other details. Congrats!!

Receive ongoing support

As you continue to host sessions, you’ll receive continuous support from our community of tutors and mentors who are here to answer your questions, share tips and techniques, and support you to be the best tutor you can be.

As a tutor in the supportive community at Schoolhouse, I've had the unique and amazing experience of learning from and collaborating with knowledgeable, humble, and passionate people! It's such a joy to be able to share what I know with world-wide learners so conveniently and see their progress
