Hiring Timeline and Process

We have concluded hiring processes for new courses for the Spring 2025 term.  We will consider tutoring requests for Fall 2025 from March 14-April 14.  

We hire most tutors before the semester starts but accept applications and add offerings up until about halfway into each term. After that point, we begin hiring processes for the following semester. Once interested candidates apply, the hiring process typically takes 2-3 weeks to complete.
