Tutor Training Courses & Meetings

New Tutor Orientations

All new tutors must attend an orientation before they begin tutoring. Orientations cover SSC mission and outcomes, tutor ethics, tutoring policies and procedures, hiring and payroll, and how to conduct the first session. Each new tutor is assigned a senior tutor at orientation. 

If you miss the in-person orientation, or want to review the material to pass the quiz in your tutor training class, please follow links on the new tutor orientation page and view the online presentation..
