Academic Tutoring Program Tutor Job Overview
Academic group tutors are trained undergraduates who support student learning and development. Group tutors meet weekly with a small group of students (~6) to review key lecture topics, foster critical thinking through peer-to-peer dialogue, and develop students' problem-solving skills and learning strategies.
All tutors are expected to attend tutor training held at the beginning of the Fall and Spring semester, generally the first Saturday following the first day of classes.
Tutors are expected to attend monthly team meetings. Team meetings give tutors the opportunity to connect with fellow peer tutors to build community, discuss course specific trends, ask questions, discuss group tutoring challenges, and provide guidance other tutors.
New tutors observe a tutor leader before opening their own group.
Tutors meet with the Assistant Director to review tutee mid-semester feedback.
