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.
