How to Become a Peer Tutor
Who can be a peer tutor
Peer tutors are Etown students who have earned a B- or better in a course, mastered the material, and used effective study skills along the way. Just as important, they relate well to their peers and bring patience and understanding to every session.
Getting recommended
A faculty member has to recommend you — either through Starfish or directly to the Director of the Learning Zone. If you think you'd be a good fit, talk to a professor in a subject you did well in and ask them to put your name forward.
What the job looks like
Once you're recommended, you can tutor almost any course you earned a B- or better in and feel confident teaching. You decide how much you work: take new requests and schedule them when it suits you, or place yourself on pause during a busy stretch and you won't be matched with anyone new.
