About you:
To thrive in ArborBridgeâs AP Economic Tutor position, itâs helpful if you areâ¦
An Economics Expert.

You are truly on the forefront of test preparation and enjoy keeping yourself up to date on changes to the exams and the test-taking process.
An Engaging and Effective Educator.
Education is your passion, and private, one-on-one online tutoring is your ideal method for providing a top-notch experience for your students and their families. Youâre not interested in on-demand homework help.

You understand that building relationships with your students and their families is a key part of the process, and you can adapt to various needs with ease.

An Organized and Proactive Problem-Solver.
You remember well how stressful the test-taking process can be, and you are always thinking of ways you can ease the burden for your clients.
