If you’re wondering where a great place to tutor is, I would recommend your public library. I have tutored both in my home and at my local library. I definitely prefer the library.
My top 7 reasons to tutor at your public library, counting down to 1.
7. Less distraction than in a home
6. Fairly quiet atmosphere
5. Tables are readily available (I tried to find a table in the children’s area first, but if those were all taken, we’d find a table in another area)
4. You can check out books, DVD’s, and other materials often because you are visiting the library every week when you tutor (no late fees)
3. Books are easily found to match what your student is interested in
2. Parents can easily wait in a nearby area
And, the #1 reason I’d recommend tutoring at your library…
1. Other families see you tutoring there, so they may ask if you can tutor their child
I found my very first student via craigslist. But, after that, I found several more students from parents who asked me to tutor their child after seeing me at the library tutoring. They are going to that library, so they most likely live nearby. It’s a great, easy way to find more clients!
Where have you tutored?

Carrie, This is such a great post! I have never thought to tutor at the library, but it does make sense to do it there. Even in our schools, there are more distractions than in a library. Thanks for sharing with us at Just for the Teacher Tuesday. Please come back next week, and share some more. We would love to have you there.
