Application to Become a Tutor

Marianopolis College

TUTOR APPLICATION FORM

The Learning Resources Centre is currently looking for Peer Tutors for the Winter 2010 semester. If you are interested in becoming a Peer Tutor, please complete this application form, which will be forwarded to the appropriate Discipline Coordinator. Only selected applicants will be contacted for interviews. 

 

Overview of the Service

Marianopolis College has been able to offer peer tutoring to our students since 2000.  This initiative is one of several projects of the Marianopolis Plan for Success and is made possible thanks to grants obtained from the Ministry of Education. Peer Tutoring activities take place in the Learning Resources Centre, room F-317 and provides computers, textbooks, sample exercises and other useful material for our tutors and tutees.

Peer Tutors are paid $12.50 per hour (+ paid training) and are selected on the basis of their strong academic performance and interpersonal skills.

We currently offer the service in 8 disciplines (Biology, Chemistry, Economics, English, French, Mathematics, Physics and Quantitative Methods).Two additional disciplines will be added to our service this coming winter semester; Psychology and Western Civilization.

Some 80 to 100 tutors are working with us every semester and over 400 students per year use the service.

 

PLEASE NOTE:

1. Only students who will still be attending Marianopolis during the semester that they wish to tutor are eligible to apply. (In some cases, however, former peer tutors may become Alumni tutors in the Sciences).

2. If you are applying to tutor French courses, please complete your application in French.

3. If you wish, you may apply to tutor more than one discipline. You may either check all relevant courses on one application (the complete application will be sent to each of the discipline coordinators involved) or you can submit separate forms for each discipline (for example, if you wish to customize the information you are including). In either case, please rank your preferences in Step 2 of Section B. You must rank all the courses for which you are applying, regardless of whether or not you are submitting the applications separately.
