Tutors must attend both class sessions and complete all online and practicum assignments before being matched with a student.
In the 2 practicum assignments you will observe tutors working with students in one of reading classes our English language conversation group. You will also be given an assignment which will need to be completed in our library. Times and dates for these will be flexible with daytime and evening choices available.
Online work requires regular access to a computer (average time for on-line work is 8-12 hours). Online assignments are self-directed and are accessed, monitored, and graded through Moodle.
