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

  • 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:

  1. Take the last 5 minutes of your session to ask the student to complete the Confirm a Tutoring Session form.
  2. Submit your hours in Workday (do a separate entry for each subsidized student; include their name and subject code in the comments section).

Having trouble with Workday?

  • Make sure you're connected to Æ»¹ûÒùÔº's VPN if you're not on campus.
  • Click on the Enter Time button at the bottom of the screen.
  • Select Enter Time.
  • Enter your In and Out times
  • You can toggle between all days of the week in the top menu bar.

Reference Letters: If you would like a reference letter for your time spent as a tutor, we can, when possible, only confirm the dates of employment, title of your position, and your salary.
