Applicant must be in very good academic standing, possessing an overall cumulative GPA of 3.25 or better. 2. To be eligible to tutor a given course at Stevens, you must have completed the course at Stevens, earning a grade of A- or better. 3. Tutor applicants must also have good communication skills and a sincere commitment to the educational process in helping others achieve success with their own studies. You are expected to share your time management skills, study skills, problem solving skills, test preparation skills, etc. with your tutees. (Specific strategies for meeting this expectation are detailed in the Tutor Manual.) 4. Both Work-Study and non-Work-Study students are eligible to tutor. If you are Federal Work-Study eligible, please notify the ASC accordingly. On this application: Please indicate the courses you are interested in tutoring by writing the grade you received for a course in the blank column to the left of each course code. If course(s) completed at another university, you must also: 1. Submit a copy of the transcript from that university. (no originals please) 2. On the transcript, highlight & write Stevens course number next to the course that corresponds to it. 3. Write the grade you received in the course. If the grades are not the same as Stevens, then please convert them using the chart on the Registrar’s web site by clicking on the “grading system” link on the left side menu. Completed applications are to be submitted to the Academic Support Center drop-off box located in EAS-119. If you meet the requirements, you will then be contacted to attend a “Tutor Training Session” at which the approaches, policies, and procedures for being an ASC tutor will be thoroughly reviewed. Role of a Tutor: The role of the tutor is to supplement the tutees’ classroom experience by helping them understand subject matter that is unclear. Tutors do not give answers, but rather help the tutees find the answers for themselves. It is the tutor's responsibility to help tutees to learn on their own while providing an open exchange during which learning can take place. Tutoring Pay Rates: Individual & Walk-In tutoring pays $12 per hour, and group tutoring (more than one tutee at a time) pays $14 per hour. The maximum limits for tutoring are as follows: 2 hours per day per subject per tutee 4 hours per week per subject per tutee 30 hours per semester per subject per tutee Also: Tutors may not tutor for more than a combined total of 20 hours each week (15 hours for FWS). It is therefore your responsibility to keep track of the combined total number of hours you tutor various tutees. Tutoring Assignments Tutors are responsible for checking email regularly and replying to the tutee promptly. The tutor and tutee will determine the times and days to meet for individual tutoring. All tutoring is required to take place at the Samuel C. Williams Library during its normal hours of operation: Both the tutor and the tutee(s) must have their Stevens Student ID Card “swiped” upon entering the library before starting the tutoring session. http://www.lib.stevens.edu/general/hours.html.
