Tutors and Trainers

One way to begin exploring this field now is to talk to someone who is a tutor or trainer. Ask the following questions: What are your primary and secondary job duties? What are the typical work hours? What do you like most and least about your job? How did you train for this field? What advice would you give to young people who are interested in this career? Also get involved in speech or drama clubs. Any experiences that you can get doing presentations or performing in front of a group will help you prepare for the field. Finally, volunteer to work as a tutor at your school or for a local community organization, or mentor a younger child at your school. This will give you a chance to learn about these careers while helping someone improve their academic and life skills.
