Programming Tutor

Submitted by Kane on

i have recently been told by my TAFE teacher that he might be able to get me a job tutoring programming...

i am only just finishing a Cert 4 in IT (Programming) and i was wondering what everyone else thinks i should do?

i have never taught anything before, but i think that it would be a good thing to put on my resume...any thoughts?

I've personally always found that teaching is a great way to learn things, as well as reinforce what you already know, and if you're like me you might even enjoy helping other peoples learning process and imparting knowledge to them :)
I say, if you're willing to do it, and have the time, then go for it. Surely it can't *hurt* :) And you'd even get paid too!! I assume :)
Also, your tutor will know your skill level, so you shouldn't be worried about not being able to tutor the people, they would be either people starting the cert 4 that you've done, or lower...
