- Priority Review Deadline: Friday, February 28th at 12PM
- Submitting by this deadline ensures we prioritize your application
- Final Review Deadline: Wednesday, March 12th at 12PM
- Submitting by this deadline ensures we will review your application for Spring Quarter positions. Any applications submitted after 3/12 may not be considered for Spring Quarter.
Please note if you applied over the summer or earlier in Fall Quarter, STEV 96 will only be offered Tues 11:40AM-1:15PM during Spring 2025 (no longer Tues 9:50AM-11:25AM). If you cannot attend STEV 96 during your first quarter of tutoring, we cannot consider your application for this term.
Interviews are offered on a rolling basis - we encourage you to submit your application early. Fewer positions are available towards the end of our review cycle.
We do not hire new tutors for the Summer as STEV 96 is not offered during Summer term.
Every quarter, LSS hires diverse undergraduate students to become leaders at Learning Support Services.
At Learning Support Services, students receive the training and support they need to become successful, certified tutors. Our tutors are paid at two rates, $21.28 for individual work and $27.42 for group work.
When you become a tutor, you can expect to work with students in your major, with faculty you are interested in, and staff interested in education and supporting you to be the successful tutor we know you can be. There is no prior experience or training necessary, we train you as you learn.
