Tutors learn and utilize the 4-Step Tutoring Approach employed by the TutorZone.
Tutors maintain a friendly demeanor and positive attitude while tutoring.
Tutors adhere to the William & Mary Honor Code and sign and adhere to a confidentiality agreement.
Tutors respect and care for the space and materials of the TutorZone.
Tutors reply promptly to staff communications and keep accurate payroll records.

Starting pay for tutoring is $13 per hour. Federal Work-Study students are encouraged to apply.
