Becoming a Tutor for the Learning Resource Center

List of Current Tutors & Duty Rosters

Tutor Application Form
Staff Application Form

There are lots of benefits to being a tutor in addition to a paycheck. Tutors often say they develop a better understanding of the material by explaining concepts to others.

Many tutors started out informally helping their friends and enjoyed the experience. If you're considering getting teaching certification, tutoring is a good way to get your feet wet. Tutoring experience is also a plus on your resume, whether you're planning to go to graduate school or start your career after graduation.

Qualifications are knowledge of the subject area, solid academic skills (a GPA of 3.0 or higher), good communication skills, a willingness to help others, and flexibility. If you're interested in becoming a tutor, send me an e-mail at rcp1@psu.edu, or call me at 898-6418.

Becoming a Supplemental Instruction (SI) Leader 

SI is different from tutoring, because leaders work with groups of students. SI leaders are primarily facilitators. Their job is not to reteach material, but to show students how to learn effectively in a particular course. 

It's a great way to develop your leadership ability and analytical skills, and to learn how to work with people at different levels of expertise. Like tutoring, it's a plus on your resume and qualifications are the same. If you're interested in becoming an SI leader, send me an e-mail at rcp1@psu.edu, or call me at 898-6418.
