What are tutors and teacher assistants?

Tutors and teacher assistants are available for students needing academic support. Tutors facilitate small study groups at the Academic Services Centre. Tutors review course content, help fellow students with test preparation, and promote good study skills.

A tutor must be willing to set aside at least four hours per day to tutor. There is flexibility in scheduling these sessions. It is important that the times work out well for the tutor as well as for interested students. A short training session is conducted which counts toward your tutoring hours. Study group times and locations are posted in the ASC hallway. Instructors are also notified that a study group has been established so that others in class can attend.

Teacher assistants help a local teacher during classes’ time. On occasion, assistants serve as mentors or study partners for students in need.
