General Description
The Academic Center for Excellence (ACE) at Niagara County Community College is looking for dependable individuals interested in tutoring our diverse population of students. To be successful in this role candidates should have strong communication skills, a desire to help others, are responsible and have the ability to maintain confidentiality.
Tutors will provide small group and individual tutorial assistance for existing course curriculum. The Professional Tutor bridges the gap between the college and the needs of the student. This position also helps students make academic progress, while promoting independent learning and self-reliance. Tutors assist tutees in developing and improving their competency in course work; and help students integrate and apply effective study skills, active reading and note-taking, test-taking strategies, and time management and organizational skills to their specific courses. Tutors also work inside the classroom as embedded tutors; tutor students in specific content areas; and provide online tutoring services to students enrolled in distance learning courses.
