Information for Prospective Tutors


To begin the process, complete the attached application and return it to Academic Services (Hudson 315).  Once the match is made, you will receive notification by e-mail or “snail mail.” As soon as you receive notification, please call your client to confirm date and time to begin.  Peer tutoring is a great way to help your fellow students and earn extra money!!


  • 3.0 CPA, with an A or B in the course being tutored, or strong recommendation of an instructor.
  • Completion of application.
  • Completion of tax forms (TI-2104, W-4 and I-9).
  • A current student SUNYcard.
  • Program orientation.


  • Tutors are expected to initiate communication with clients and inform them in advance of any absence.
  • For their part, clients are expected to communicate with their tutors about any absences or decisions to either drop the course or withdraw from tutoring.
  • Tutors are responsible for being prepared to discuss material. Tutors are NOT responsible for doing assignments for clients. Any questions or concerns should be addressed immediately to the tutoring coordinator!
  • Tutors are paid bi-weekly. Time is tracked through the college's KRONOS system by tutors swiping-in and out at a KRONOS station. Academic Services requires a paper time log as a back up. Paychecks are disbursed from the Business office on the Friday following the end of a pay period.
  • Tutors should ensure that their clients swipe-in on the tutoring computer and record attendance on their attendance sheet.
  • Tutors should review their mail folder in the Tutoring Center daily to check for matches if they are not able to access their e-mail daily and before each tutoring session for any updates or notes.

    As a tutor, you are an employee of the college. You are expected to arrive on time, conduct tutoring sessions in a professional manner, and abide by the college's rules on academic integrity. Due to the nature of our program, direct supervision is often not possible, therefore you are on your honor to provide your tutoring service. The benefit is that colleges and employers look for individuals who demonstrate they can work in small and large groups, communicate effectively in both oral and written terms, and are able to manage their time without direct supervision.

    Attention Tutors and Clients!!!!!!

     

    Beginning with Summer 2006, tutoring correspondence will be conducted via e-mail.  Therefore all students participating in the Tutoring Program MUST have an active email account.  (We are moving away from our post card system.)

     

    • If you do not have an e-mail, go to yahoo.com and follow the steps for creating an account.
    • Be sure to select a username which is professionally appropriate as a variety of people will need to use it
    • Be sure you remember your user name and password
    • If you would like to evaluate other sites offering free e-mail accounts, view these links:

      or

      http://www.emailaddresses.com/email_web.htm

       

      Use this account only for your college business and communications.  This will help keep you organized, up-to-date and informed. 

      You will be able to check your e-mail in the Tutoring Center (for tutoring purposes only), if you do not have computer access at home. 

       

      Once your application is submitted, be sure to check your e-mail on a daily basis.
