Tutors are the foundation of  our learning support program. As a tutor, you might lead study groups, provide individual/small group tutoring to students by appointment, provide drop-in tutoring basis in one of our on-campus facilities (Comm Lab, STEM Center, Learning Connection, or WRAC Center).

Some tutors work inside classrooms as embedded tutors, but these positions must be requested directly by the instructor who will need to complete Canvas training prior to working with an embedded tutor. Students are not able to apply directly for a position as an embedded tutor.

Tutors assist students in improving academic achievement by meeting with them to clarify concepts and skills needed for success. Assistance might include:

• reviewing class material,
• discussing the text,
• predicting test questions,
• formulating ideas for papers, or
• working on solutions to problems.

Learning support is a supplement to teaching, and tutors are not expected to know everything about the subject for which they provide learning support. All Learning Connection tutors are peer tutors who must be recommended by a Chabot College instructor.

All tutors must:

• Attend and pass required tutor training classes; fees for these classes are waived.
• Check Canvas and your Zonemail email daily for information and notices.

• Be punctual for all scheduled tutoring sessions or drop in hours. It is your responsibility to notify us as soon as possible if you cannot meet with your students.

• Be friendly, patient, and sensitive to a diversity of students.
