Becoming a Tutor
One of the most flexible and beneficial jobs on campus is being a tutor. Tutoring is a good way to continue mastering course information while helping others to do the same. Tutors work on their own schedule whether it is between classes and work, on the weekend, or just a couple of days per week. You decide how much and when to tutor.
First: Apply
Students who serve as individual tutors are selected based on the following criteria:
• Completion of the course(s) you want to tutor with a “B” or better
• A cumulative GPA of 3.0
• Faculty recommendation(s)
• Completion of training requirements
• Knowledge of the course material
• Effective personal interaction skills
Your retention as a tutor is influenced by:
• Reliability in communicating with clients, meeting them, completing necessary paperwork, and performing the duties specified in your Tutor Handbook.
• Maintaining a 3.0 GPA
• Evaluations
You may pick up an application at the AAC or fill out THE ONLINE APPLICATION
Next: Complete Training requirements
Once the tutoring services department approves your application, you will receive an email to complete mandatory TUTOR TRAINING The goals of this session are to familiarize you with your clients and to provide you with the “key ingredients” needed for successful tutoring. The training takes about two hours and is completed online. You will first need to DOWNLOAD AND PRINT THE RESPONSE FORM.doc to be completed during training. Make sure to bring the Response Form to orientation.
Last: Attend Orientation
Upon the completion of training you will schedule an orientation with a Tutoring Services staff member. At this orientation you will fill out the payroll packet, receive your Tutor Handbook and set up your tutor profile.
You will need to bring 2 forms of identification to this appointment so that we may finalize your hiring. You may schedule your orientation by calling 593-2849 or stopping by our office inside the Academic Advancement Center where you will find a sign-up sheet with this week's schedule.
CRLA Certification
As a tutor you have the option to be College of Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) certified. More details about this will be discussed during Orientation.
