Tutoring and Private Instruction Affidavit Draft

What a good one includes

• Clear identification of the educator, including full legal name, business name if applicable, and contact information.
• A precise summary of your academic degrees, teaching certifications, or specialized subject-matter expertise.
• A detailed description of the tutoring services provided, including subject areas, student age groups, and instructional formats.
• A sworn statement of hourly rates, active client numbers, or gross self-employment income earned over a specific timeframe.
• A formal statement declaring that the information provided is true and correct under penalty of perjury.
• A standard jurat or acknowledgment section for a notary public to sign and seal, validating the sworn oath.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Failing to specify exact dates, hours, or subject areas, which can cause administrative reviewers to reject the document.
• Signing the document before you are in the physical or digital presence of a licensed notary public, which invalidates the notarization process.
• Blending personal anecdotes with professional facts instead of maintaining a strictly objective, verifiable tone.
• Overlooking state-specific wording requirements for affidavits, especially when submitting to government or school board authorities.
