Become A Tutor

The TutorZone tutor application has closed for the semester. We will reopen the application in March 2025.

If the TutorZone is not currently in need of tutors in a particular area, applications that meet our qualifications are kept on file and may be referred to in the event that a position becomes available.

  • Excellent communication skills
  • A personal and professional commitment to academic integrity
  • Previous tutoring experience is appreciated but not required

Preference is given to applicants with a larger number and variety of courses to tutor.

Expectations
  • So as not to impact their own academic performance, tutors have control over their tutoring availability and the number of hours they tutor. However, tutors are expected to maintain a reasonable number of available hours through the exam periods, and notify TutorZone staff of any major changes to regularly scheduled availability.
  • Tutors attend scheduled tutor training sessions and meetings.
  • Tutors learn and utilize the 4-Step Tutoring Approach employed by the TutorZone.
  • Tutors maintain a friendly demeanor and positive attitude while tutoring.
  • Tutors adhere to the William & Mary Honor Code and sign and adhere to a confidentiality agreement.
  • Tutors respect and care for the space and materials of the TutorZone.

Starting pay for tutoring is $13 per hour. Federal Work-Study students are encouraged to apply.
