How to Recommend
Students applying to become a tutor will complete an online application form. Students should ask faculty for their permission first to put their name down as a recommender. Once the faculty member agrees, students can then complete the application; faculty will receive an email to a link to complete the online recommendation form.
If you have a student you would like to recommend to become a tutor, please email the Director, Dr. Jocelyn Manigo or the Assistant Director, Kaitlyn Crouse- Machcinski.
