Conflicts of interest: Students can’t tutor for a course for which they are currently a teaching assistant, course grader, or any position that may cause a conflict of interest.
Tutor Responsibilities
- Respect the Charter of Students' Rights and the Code of Student Conduct in all activities as a tutor, and treat the tutee with respect.
- Maintain confidentiality (do not share your students’ names, subsidy, etc)
- Be on time
- Help your student understand course content – don’t complete their assignments for them.
- Cancel your session at least 24 hours in advance if you cannot attend. If you cancel more than 3 times per academic year without 24-hour notice we may remove you from our database.
- Only book 1-on-1 tutoring sessions. Group tutoring must be authorized in advance by Student Accessibility and Achievement.
- Keep an eye on time: don’t feel pressured to go beyond the agreed upon time.
- Ask for payment at the end of each session (subsidized students need only submit the Confirm aÌýTutoring SessionÌýform, non-subsidized students pay you directly).
- Let us know if you can’t take additional students.
Getting Paid
Non-subsidized tutoring:
The student will pay you directly at the end of each session.
Subsidized tutoring:
- Take the last 5 minutes of your session to ask the student to complete the Confirm a Tutoring Session form.
