What Makes Someone a Good Fit?

At IvyLink Scholars, we look for tutors who combine academic excellence with a genuine passion for teaching. The qualities that make someone a strong fit include:

Strong academic background
Pursuing or recently earned a degree at Harvard, MIT, or another top Boston-area university.

Global mindset
Excited about teaching motivated students abroad and helping them reach their goals.

Reliability and commitment
Able to dedicate at least a few hours each week, typically in the mornings or evenings, and follow through consistently.

Ability to tutor across subjects
Comfortable supporting a student in more than one area (for example, math plus writing), so families can have continuity with a single trusted tutor.

Passion for teaching
Enjoys explaining concepts clearly, encouraging curiosity, and celebrating student progress.

Professionalism online
Comfortable teaching virtually and representing IvyLink Scholars with care and integrity.
