Expert opinions on the best states for computer science tutors
Are there any particularly good places in the United States for computer science tutors to find work opportunities?
Cheryl McDonald
Faculty & Coordinator, Education Specialist and Dual Credential programs, California State University - Fresno
After graduation, candidates should begin their search for available education positions, whether teaching or leadership in universities or preschool-12 schools, in populous states like California, Texas and New York or in rural and suburban high-poverty areas. There the needs are greatest and positions are more likely to be available and advertised. I would also ask friends, colleagues and professionals I knew to keep an eye open for available positions. You never know when an unexpected lead will pop up.
