Hello,
Since I've tutored reading before, I am considering becoming a
tutor with Club Z. I have heard they are one of the best
tutoring companies around. However, the website states that all
tutoring is done at the student's home which would mean I would
need someone to drive me to each student's home. There's no way
that is even practical since no one in my family would be
available for transportation. For me to hire a driver, it would
cost me more than $60 for one week I would not be just going to
work at one location and going back home, I'd have to travel
within my county and possibly across county lines. The price to
hire a driver would be way than I am able to pay since that would
be a good chunk of my paycheck since tutors usually only make
about $8-10 per hour. Therefore, would it be acceptable to
contact the corporate office and explain that I am interested in
tutoring, but due to my vision impairment would not be able to
drive to each student's home and ask if they would allow me to
conduct my sessions at a local library where I can meet with
multiple students on the same day? And online tutoring is not
available either, so that's not even an option. With wyzant, I
have a bit more flexibility and can meet students wherever is
convenient, but club Z is in-home tutoring. But is it worth
explaining my situation to see if there's something that could be
worked out?
Thank you,
Kelsey Nicolay
