Become a Tutor

 

BECOME A TUTOR

The MSRC typically hires new tutors twice a year, just before the start of the fall and spring semesters.  We occasionally hire new tutors for summer depending on our staffing needs.  We will contact you via email a few weeks before our August or January interview periods to schedule a time for your interview.  For application deadlines, please contact the center coordinator or click on the "News & Announcements" link to your right.  Your completed application packet can be hand-delivered, or you can mail it to the center coordinator at the following address:

Michele Doney, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, 445 W. 59 St, New York, NY 10019

Please note that tutor interviews are conducted jointly with the Math Preparation Center.  Successful applicants may be assigned to the MSRC, the MPC, or both.

 

PEER TUTORS

A peer tutor is a tutor who is also an undergraduate student.  Most of our peer tutors are John Jay students, but we also hire qualified peer tutors from other local colleges. For a full job description, minimum qualifications, and other general information about becoming a peer tutor, please download our peer tutor brochure using the link below.  Applicants for the position of peer tutor must submit a completed application form, at least one faculty recommendation, and copies of all undergraduate transcripts (and graduate, if applicable).  Unofficial copies are fine.  You may download the application and recommendation forms by clicking the links below, or stop by the MSRC to pick up paper copies.
