Independent tutors are needed for end of the year studying. To assist students with end-of-the year studying, students can volunteer to be campus tutors with Disability Support Services.

“As long as they have maintained a 3.0 in the subject they are wanting to tutor in and have a minimum of 45 credit hours, we will put them on the list,”  Debra Higginbotham, Director of Disability Support Services said.

Higginbotham said, once accepted, the tutor can work around their own hours and decide on their own what the pay should be as long as it’s within reason.

Tutors can work on their own or with a department tutoring team, however, tutoring on campus is not qualified as an on campus job.

Tutors may set up times to work off campus, however, it is advised by Higginbotham, that the first few sessions should occur on campus.

No specific department needs tutors at this point, although, if a demand of tutors for a subject comes up, departments heads go to the tutor list put up by the Disability Support Services personnel.

Although some departments on campus are in need of tutors, others are full. Sheron Findley, tutor in economics, said she doesn’t think the Dillard tutoring department needs anymore tutors at this time.

Findley also said, the reason the Dillard tutoring team doesn’t need anymore tutors is because every subject taught in Dillard, has a designated tutor already and that not enough students attend tutoring sessions for more tutors to be needed.

The tutor list is still available and anyone who meets the requirements can become a tutor by the end of the semester. Students who are interested must go online and complete an application which will be observed by Disability Support Services Director Debra Higginbotham.
