Prospective tutors in any subject area are encouraged to apply, though we primarily hire Math, Science, and Writing. Tutors must have received a grade of A or B in subject(s) applying to tutor.

All tutors are required to engage in ongoing training that meets the standards set by the College Reading and Learning Association, an international organization of learning-assistance professionals. CRLA certifies programs to in turn train and certify tutors.
