Qualifications to be a Tutor

• You must have taken ECON 2001, 2002, 4001, and 4002 and finished with at least a B.
  • Students not meeting this standard will be considered based on individual merit.
• It is not necessary to be an ECON major.
  • Any student who has completed the required courses can apply to be a tutor, regardless of major.

When Tutors are Hired

• Prospective tutors may apply at any time. Your application may not be considered immediately but for the next semester (excluding summer while the ELC is closed).
  • We aim to interview at the end of each semester so tutors are hired and oriented before the ELC opens the following semester.
• We will keep your application on file for a year and contact you at the provided email if we are interested in interviewing you.
  • The consistent graduation of our tutoring staff leaves us hiring tutors regularly. We encourage prospective tutors to apply every year.

How Much Are Tutors Paid?

• Tutors begin at the base rate for student employees at the University, which can be found @ https://hr.osu.edu/services/compensation/student-employees/.
