Apply to be a tutor at the Learning Support Center
Now hiring tutors who are excited about in-person tutoring for Fall 2024!
In-Person Hours
Fall Quarter: Monday-Thursday 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
If you think you would enjoy breaking down complex issues into smaller steps, connecting with new people, and helping others as a part of a supportive, academic-minded environment, then being a tutor is a great option for you! You will be working both with your fellow students as a tutor and with other students as your tutor coworkers, backing each other up and providing support.
Subjects We Currently Need Tutors For
We always accept applications year-round for the following subjects, though we tend to do much of our hiring before Fall quarter begins every year: math, writing, chemistry, biology, accounting, statistics, BSTEC, CIS, computer science, physics, and more.
At the moment, for Fall 2024, we are looking in particular for tutors who can help with the following subjects:
- ENGL 101 and 102

What to Expect After You Apply
We hire on a rolling basis, which means that while we are always accepting applications, we may not always be actively hiring new tutors. Whether we reach out to you immediately after receiving your application or not will depend on our current staffing needs and the subjects you have said you can tutor.
Please do not expect to hear back right away. If we are looking to hire and your application fits some of our needed subjects, then you may receive an email inviting you to an interview. If you do not receive an email, this usually means we are keeping your application on file for later reference when we are hiring more tutors.
Please be patient, as this process can take some time for us to sort out, especially toward the beginnings and endings of quarters as we assess our schedule and staffing needs.
