Increases in pay will be based upon available funds after the first semester of employment and upon additional training attended by the tutor.
Tutors are hired on a part-time basis therefore; wages do not include fringe benefits.

After review of your application and your transcript grades, the Tutor Coordinator will contact you by e-mail or phone if a position that fits your qualifications is available. You will then be asked to come in for a final interview appointment. If you are offered a position you will then need to complete the I-9 form at the Human Resource office in the Administration Building.
