Frequently asked questions
Tutor Cover Letter Sample (Full Text Version)
I'm applying for the Tutor role at Northwind Learning. Over 4 years tutoring SAT/ACT and high-school math, I average 240-point SAT gains across 60+ students, with a 90%+ retention rate through course completion.
I hold a BS in Mathematics and Perfect-Score SAT credentials, and have built a proprietary problem-set library that shortens time-to-mastery on the exam's algebra and data-analysis sections.
Northwind's small-cohort model is exactly the environment where I do my best work. I'd welcome the chance to talk further.
Thanks for your time — I'd welcome a conversation about the fit.
