Oberlin Peer Tutor Application
Thank you for your interest in serving as a peer tutor! Compensation for peer tutors is $12/hr. Students can apply to serve as a tutor for more than one course.

The following are requirements for the Peer Tutor position:

  • Peer tutors must have earned a grade of “B” or higher in the course(s) you would like to tutor; students who would like to tutor language classes and are native speakers are exempt from this requirement but will need a recommendation from a faculty member in the target language's department. 

  • Students must have a recommendation for the course(s) they would like to tutor

  • Students generally must be in good academic standing. 

  • Peer tutors will participate in a required, compensated orientation session to learn about effective tutoring strategies, learning styles, and communication techniques; tutors will have the opportunity to attend additional refresher training sessions throughout the semester.

  • Tutors are required to attend all mandatory meetings and to complete all surveys or reports requested by program staff. 

  • Tutors must submit their hours on TimeClock Plus and also fill out required session forms. 

Students who meet the requested criteria will be contacted to schedule a brief interview with Brook Escobedo, Assistant Dean for Academic Support.
