The Process for Hiring a Learning Assistant

After the potential tutor submits the application, the Director of Campus Tutorial Services evaluates it based on the following:

  • Overall availability of the position in which the student applied for
  • Good grade point average
  • Minimum number of classes completed
  • Clear writing, with responses reflecting a desire to help people, not just "looking to make some money."
  • Faculty references (which are checked)

If those areas are satisfactory, the candidate will be asked to meet via WebEx for a virtual interview. Questions typically asked will be, "Why do you want to be a tutor? What do you think a tutor does? How do you define academic success?" For math and accounting applicants, an assessment of content knowledge will be administered following the interview.  For writing applicants, assessments of MLA, APA and Chicago-style documentation will be administered, along with an assessment of grammatical rules.

If the interview goes well, the candidate will be invited to participate in a tutoring "Try Out" session. This is a three-week session where individuals interested in tutoring (applicants) first observe senior tutors working with clients and eventually do some volunteer tutoring under the watch of the senior tutor. It is an opportunity for applicant to see if the job is right for them.

If all this is good, the tutor will be offered a contract (examples found below) for the next semester. In the time remaining in the current semester, the tutor will undergo paid training. More information on this process can be found under Learning Assistant Training Process.
