Expert opinions on the best states for english tutors
Are there any particularly good places in the United States for english 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.
