Applying For LAC Jobs

 

We are not accepting applications for Spring 2013.


Please, check back mid April for Fall 2013 application process.


Graduate and undergraduate students can apply to be a LAC tutor! Follow the instructions.

Build your professional and academic skills while teaching others.

Working with LAC students allows you to review fundamental academic skills. By helping students learn, you will develop a more flexible and effective approach to your own reading and writing tasks, as well as add to your repertoire of study skills. Collaboration, active learning, feedback, and reflection are at the core of LAC tutor education. Through varied teaching and learning opportunities, you can become a more effective teacher and communicator.
