Anyone who
wishes to become a tutor will need to contact
the Tutoring Coordinator to make an appointment
for an informal interview.
Who
May Tutor?
Peer tutors
should have taken the course and passed with
an "A" or "B" grade. In
certain circumstances, with the recommendation
of the instructor, a peer tutor may be
enrolled in the course he/she is tutoring.
Proficient knowledge of the subject area is
mandatory.
Persons
in the community are also welcome to become
tutors. Once again, proficient knowledge of
the material being tutored is mandatory.
The
Rewards of Tutoring
Tutors are
paid for their services. Peer tutors find
tutoring not only helps other students but it
also keeps their own skills sharp. In
addition, working as a tutor is a good resume
enhancer for area businesses. Of course, the
most rewarding aspect of being a tutor is in
helping others succeed.
The
Purpose of Tutoring
Remember
that tutoring is a HELPING HAND to help steer
a student through a difficult course. Tutors
DO NOT do the work for the student. The goal
of the Tutoring Center and tutoring in general
is to guide the student to the point of NOT
needing a tutor. We here at The Tutoring
Center are committed to serving the needs of
the student of Piedmont Technical College.
