Why would you like to be a tutor in the Math Help Center? Why do you think you would be a good tutor?
Please read the following and check or initial that you have read and understand each statement.
Tutoring is just like any other job – you are expected to show up on time to each scheduled shift.
Sometimes things come up, so if you can’t make it in (or on time) for a scheduled shift, contact the
MHC coordinator via email or phone ASAP and, if possible, send out a mass email to the tutor list
asking for a sub for your scheduled time. It is unacceptable to not show up for a shift without
contacting the MHC coordinator. The following is the attendance policy for tutors.
Late (10 min or more) 2 times = 1 no show/no call
No show/no call 2 times = hours cut in half
No show/no call 1 more time= employment terminated
________ I have read and understand the attendance policies for tutors.
________ I understand that I am responsible for regularly checking the email I provide as
information (schedule changes, reminders for SNAP deadlines, etc.) will primarily be sent through
email.
