Information for Prospective Tutors:

Volunteers may opt for 1 unit of credit, which covers one hour per week of tutoring and several mandatory trainings/meetings with faculty along with homework and/or administrative paperwork.

The unit counts as a general elective toward graduation, but does not count toward our majors or minors.

Volunteers must have fulfilled the core curriculum requirement (Language 201).

Tutors are required to sign in and out each day they work. The sign-in sheet is in Founders 123, the departmental mail room. No one may do this for someone else.

Please complete and submit the application for prospective tutors..

Information for Students Seeking Tutoring:

The focus of the tutoring program is on students enrolled in Language 101, 102 and 201, though tutors with advanced skills may also assist those enrolled in fourth semester and upper-division courses in conversation or composition.

Tutors may not write your papers or do extensive revisions. However, they may assist with:

  • The organization and proofreading of papers, including spell-check
  • Grammatical concepts
  • Vocabulary building
  • Conversation
  • Brain-storming ideas for oral presentations
  • Rehearsing oral presentations
