"Tutor"

Rowan College at Burlington County is looking for individuals interested in tutoring our diverse population of students. Tutors will provide small-group and individual tutorial assistance for existing course curriculum. Tutors also aid in the development of students' self-esteem, learning, study strategies, and critical thinking skills. Tutors will work with students to identify their areas of strength and to help students take accountability for their educational choices and actions.

Tutoring includes, but is not limited to, reviewing class materials, assisting with written assignments, discussing texts, or working on solutions to problems in Mathematics, English, Science, Humanities, or Social Sciences.

• Supporting students by assisting with understanding course content and completing course assignments
