Tutor FAQ's

I want to be a tutor, what do I need to do?
Students must have earned an A or high B in the course for which they would like to tutor.  Students interested in becoming tutors should contact the Academic Success Tutoring Coordinator, Laura Battle. Academic Success will seek approval for all tutors from the appropriate course director.  Once approved to lead Academic Success-sponsored tutoring, students must complete the appropriate paperwork and an on-line tutor training.  Students may not lead Academic Success-sponsored tutoring until they have completed these steps.
I need a tutor! How does that work?
Through the Campus Wide Tutoring Program, Academic Success provides peer tutoring for all programs at Academic Success.  Group tutoring is available in select courses for all students prior to the second assessment.  After the second assessment, group tutoring is available for students with a failing grade, as determined by their program.  Individual tutoring is also available on a case-by-case basis.  Students interested in receiving tutoring should contact Academic Success  or call 901-448-2940.
