About The Position

Tutoring is a supplement to teaching, not a replacement for class attendance and participation. Goals: To help students maximize, expand, and improve their academic skills. To listen and respond to the educational needs of others with creativity, energy, sensitivity, and patience. To reinforce students' understanding of subject-specific course material.
