Tutors use an actor’s downtime to help them with their studies. Tutors must prepare and deliver lessons that reflect each student’s home curriculum. Tutors have all the relevant teaching certifications. Those who can teach a wide variety of subjects to a range of ages have an advantage.

When needed, translators support the tutors.

The tutors department is represented by IATSE.

Teaching

It goes without saying that the proper certifications are a must.

Flexibility

The hours and the environment are unpredictable. Tutors need to go with the flow.

Foreign language proficiency

Being able to speak—and teach—a language other than English is a distinct advantage.

Being an on-set tutor is an appealing proposition for teachers looking for an alternative to the traditional classroom. Tutors generally work one-to-one or in small groups, so there is a lot of contact with students.
