Tutor.com Continues Partnership with the Society of Physics Students
to Recruit Top Notch Physics Tutors
NEW YORK, October 28, 2009 - Tutor.com
(www.tutor.com) the award-winning provider of one-to-one, online tutoring and homework
help is renewing its successful partnership with the
Society of Physics Students (SPS), one of the largest physics societies
in the world, to continue to recruit top notch physics tutors to help the hundreds
of students who turn to Tutor.com for
physics tutoring every night of the week. Today more than 50 SPS members
tutor for Tutor.com. The company plans to bring on several hundred
math and science tutors over the coming months.
The Society of Physics Students (SPS) and Sigma Pi Sigma, the national physics honor
society housed within SPS, with a combined membership of well over 40,000 individuals,
is renewing their commitment to let members know about the unique opportunity to
tutor students online and on demand from the comfort of their dorm rooms through
the organization's Web site and direct communications throughout the year. The organization
receives a referral fee for each accepted tutor.
"Tutoring certainly served me well in my undergraduate days—I was honing my physics
knowledge, improving my people skills, and making some money and getting the satisfaction
of helping others—all in one place, a few hours a week," said Gary White, director
of the Society of Physics Students. "It is hard to imagine a better part-time position
for an undergraduate physics major."
"We are pleased to continue our successful partnership with such a well respected
organization to identify physics tutors of the highest quality," said Joan Rooney,
vice president of tutor management at Tutor.com. "Tutor.com looks forward to a long
relationship with the Society of Physics Students as well as other professional
math and science organizations who can help us achieve our mission to find the best
tutors for our students."
Tutors who provide on demand tutoring through Tutor.com set their own hours, earn
extra income and work from the comfort of their own homes. All of the tutoring is
done online in Tutor.com's proprietary online classroom which includes chat, file
sharing and Web browsing. Tutors go through a comprehensive application and certification
program as well as a third party background check to become a tutor. Each tutor
is assigned an experienced mentor who provides ongoing support and feedback. Tutor.com
is actively recruiting tutors all year, but has an immediate need for physics, chemistry,
calculus and statistics tutors. Go to www.tutor.com/apply.
