Peer Tutor Application

Tutors are successful students who provide academic assistance to others. They display outstanding interpersonal skills, maintain at least a B in the subject they tutor, and have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. Tutors strive to help their peers understand course material and develop lasting learning skills.

As a tutor, you can gain valuable experience, work convenient hours, earn extra income, and help others. To serve as a tutor, you must participate in Cayuga's one-credit tutor-training course. Upon completion, you will be certified as a tutor through the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA).
