Are You Considering Becoming a Tutor?

Those who become tutors often realize that they gain far more from the experience than just a salary.

As of Spring 09, we have instituted a hiring freeze. We are only collecting names and contact information from interested applicants.

Some common benefits include:

• Opportunity to gain work and leadership experience, both great resume builders.
• Increased academic knowledge.
• Strengthening of interpersonal and coaching skills
• Gained satisfaction from helping others succeed academically.
• Closer relationships with faculty and staff members
• Flexible work schedule.

Qualifications of Tutor Applicants:

• Have at least 12 hours of undergraduate work with an earned overall college grade point average of at least 3.2. Under special circumstances a Cum GPA of 3.0 will be considered.
• Have earned an A grade or a high B in the subject applying to tutor.
• Demonstrate during the interview good communication and interpersonal skills, along with the ability to work with students from varied backgrounds and skill levels
• Provide a signed reference from a faculty member (preferably from CSN) teaching the subject wishing to tutor.
• Having previous tutorial experience in subject matter is a definite plus.

When selecting a tutor, there must also be enough of a demand for the subject(s) to warrant hiring a tutor. Applying for tutoring does not guarantee employment.  If you have any specific questions please contact one of our offices.

Tutor Application Process:

1. Complete a tutor application, faculty reference form and CSN application form. 
2. Obtain official transcripts for review.
3. Submit the completed packet (application, reference, and transcripts) to Tutorial Services on the campus you prefer to work from.
4. Application Packet will be sent for certification to the Department Chair of the discipline(s) you are requesting to tutor (or to another designated college official determined by Tutorial Services).
5. If you become certified, you will be contacted to set up an interview with either the Director of Tutorial Services or with a Coordinator of the Science & Math Resource Center, depending on the discipline you want to tutor.
6. After the interview, you will be notified of the outcome. If you are hired you will be instructed to sign an employee document, which is a temporary offer of employment for the current semester. Employee documents can be terminated without notice.

7. Successful completion of all steps does not guarantee employment. You will be contacted by Tutorial Services if there is an opening in your content area.You are not an employee of Tutorial Services unless you have signed a current employee document.

Once hired, tutors are required to undergo training that provides knowledge and practical skills necessary to become an effective tutor. Training takes place prior to the first assignment and concurrently while tutoring.  For more information please contact Tutorial Services:
