Additional Tutoring Resources


Applying for a tutor

To apply for a tutor, students must fill out an application, which gathers pertinent information and lists all free times available for tutoring. A tutoring center staff member coordinates a meeting between a tutor and the student. The tutor and student then continue to meet as needed. Students experiencing academic difficulty are encouraged to apply early and to continue with tutoring throughout the semester.


Applying to be a tutor

To be a tutor, interested students must fill out an application. The tutoring center staff will review the application and your academic qualifications.  You must have passed a class (or its equivalent) with a grade of A or B to be eligible to tutor a student taking it. Successful applicants will be paid for up to 12 hours per week of service, and will begin service after their transcripts have been checked and they have undergone a short training session.

Most tutors meet at least once a week with their students, and spend at least one hour per session.  Tutors have the option of tutoring one student at a time or a group of students.
