MANDATORY NEW TUTOR TRAINING

All new tutors are required to complete the new tutor training program before they start their tutoring job(s).
Returning tutors are strongly encouraged to complete the program if they have not already done so.

Benefits include:

• an opportunity to learn tutoring best practices before you start tutoring
• the ability to complete the program on your own time during the CLRC open hours
• an opportunity to get paid for the time you spend learning more about becoming an effective tutor
• an opportunity to meet with a mentor tutor to have your questions or concerns addressed
  

The process for completing the tutor training program is as follows:

1. Download and print the Tutor Training Pre- and Post- Viewing Questions.
   A copy of these questions can be found in the New Tutor Handbook.
   
2. Complete the pre-viewing questions.
   
3. Watch the two tutor training videos. There are two options:
   a. Go to the CLRC counter and ask to view the tutoring videos. If you are an SBCC student, make sure you have your student I. D., or a picture ID that can be used with your student ID number. If you are a non-student, hourly tutor without a student I. D., explain this to the counter worker.
   b. Watch the tutor training videos: Mandatory Tutor Training Part I and Mandatory Tutor Training Part II. Note: You must have high speed internet access and Quicktime installed on your computer to view these videos.
   
4. After viewing the videos, complete the Post-Viewing Questions. Be sure to include details from the videos to show what you have learned.
   
5. With your Pre- and Post- Viewing Questions and answers, go to the Writing Center and sign up to meet with a Center tutor (AKA mentor tutor) to discuss your answers and any questions you may have.
   
6. After meeting with the mentor tutor and asking him or her to sign your questions, bring the signed questions to the Tutorial Center.
   
7. Remember to post your tutor training hours on your time sheet. A maximum of four hours is allowed for this program.
   
8. If your employment paperwork is complete, you are now eligible to start tutoring.. Enjoy your tutoring experience!
