[quote=Anonymous]Very little of this is true. I am a high impact tutor so here is truth:
Degree expectations are found here: https://www.fcps.edu/family-resources/tutoring-options-fcps/become-high-impact-tutor

It was very hard to find and hire tutors, so if your school is just getting one that is why. It was an extra long process because it’s money from the state, so even though I already worked in the school for the last two years I had to reapply, be interviewed, and it took over a month. The school asked me to do this and I was already up to date with my professional development, badged, etc. Yet it still took over a month.
Plus, how many people have a minimum of 12 hours a week to work and are interested in this type of position. That’s probably why it pays so well. 
We must work at least 12 hours a week. That’s what makes it high impact. I see my students for an hour and a half every week (3 days- 30 minutes a day).
We do complete a many hour online training on how to plan, assess, and teach kids in a way that is useful and interesting. 
We are given specific curriculum by our school.
I have a bachelor’s degree in education and a masters in reading. I was a reading specialist and then stayed home with my kids and am now back in this position. I am more qualified than many teachers. The other teacher in my school who is a H-I-T has a bachelor’s in psychology, is a military wife, and has subbed throughout the years as they moved around. 
Obviously, not everyone is the same in your school, but you don’t know until you know. [/quote]
