Thank you!

Thank you to several faculty members who suggested a tutoring service and to college leadership for securing funding for it.

Who should be a digital tutor?

We’re looking for students who are experienced at basic digital skills, mature and eager to help other students succeed.  You’ll need to be able to work at least three hours/week.  You don’t have to be an expert at all of the digital technology, but you do need to have overall knowledge and love learning and growing your own skills.  If that’s you, be sure to apply.

On the simple, online application linked here and above, you’ll be asked to provide two of our faculty members who can serve as references for you. Tutoring positions are paid positions, usually $14/hour. Tutors will work in-person and online.

Thanks for helping our renowned creative culture grow even stronger and for helping other students succeed.

Who should take advantage of digital tutoring?

This is a free service available to any student in the college.  There’s no need to stress over digital difficulties.  Take advantage of free help from students who’ve been where you are.  You might have one small question, or you might need a bit more help.  Either way, tutoring is here for you.  Tutors will not do your work for you; instead, our goal is for you to leave the tutoring experience with more knowledge to make your digital work even better (and faster).
