The Polsky Tutoring Labs are seeking highly motivated, dedicated students interested in working as peer tutors in our tutoring labs. Peer tutors work one-on-one with students, helping students meet with increased success in courses they find difficult. All tutoring sessions are appointment-based and are held in our Math Lab (Polsky 332). While earning some income has its benefits, playing a significant role in the academic success of others is a daily reward for everyone on our team of outstanding student employees. All majors are encouraged to apply!
We offer:
- a starting rate above minimum wage.
- a clean, safe work environment conveniently located on main campus.
- a work schedule built around your class schedule.
- a consistent weekly schedule throughout the semester.
- professional development focused on skills coveted by employers upon graduation.

- must be available Thursday, January 9, 2025, for paid training;

- have completed Precalculus (or a higher level math course) with a B+ or higher
