Become a Peer Tutor

We prioritize recruiting tutors who have received an A/A- in the course and have taken the course with the current faculty member teaching it. However, we invite faculty members to submit tutor recommendations and students to apply to work as tutors even if they do not meet this criteria. We acknowledge that there is much more to being a good fit for the Peer Tutor role than just grades.

To apply to become a Peer Tutor, you will use the application below and not apply through the JobX system.

Peer Tutor applications do not roll over from one term to the next. All tutors must reapply every term.
