Become a Tutor or SI Leader

Tutoring and SI offer a great opportunity to earn while you learn!

SI leaders attend each class session for which they support and offer regularly scheduled sessions each week to discuss difficult concepts, share study and test-taking strategies, and collaborate with their peers to better understand the content.
