The task of explaining economics concepts to less advanced students will deepen your own fundamental knowledge. In addition, students involved in the Economics Learning Center have a home base in the Department of Economics; this provides opportunities for interaction with faculty and other economics students!
Tutor Job Description
- Tutors are expected to devote up to 20 hours per week and as much additional time for preparation as necessary.
- All in-person shifts must occur in the ELC, room 385 of Arps Hall. Online shifts can be held via Zoom from a private location on a device with audio and video capabilities.

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.
