About The Position

Tutoring serves college students by assisting with academic success strategies. The primary responsibilities of a tutor is to support students (tutees) to become more independent learners, persist in college, and reach their goals.

Tutors meet with students to clarify and review concepts taught in class, explain processes and help students solve specific problems.
