About Our Tutors
Tutors who know their subjects, and know the needs of their students.
Smarthinking’s tutors are seasoned educators - 90% have an advanced degree in their fields and they average over 9 years of teaching or tutoring experience. Drawn from college faculty, graduate students, high school teachers and retired educators, all tutors must complete Smarthinking’s online training program and are regularly evaluated for quality and consistency. Each academic area is led by one of Smarthinking’s subject-area coordinators, all of whom are former college professors and experts in their disciplines.
