“This tutor position was perfect for me. It had flexible hours and an amazing staff to work with. I learned much in my time as a tutor and gained valuable work experience along with making some great connections with the students. Through this program, I was able to do a little bit of my own teaching and that was amazing. I must say that the staff I worked with was my favorite part as they were always professional but helped me feel extremely comfortable and safe in their environment.”
