The Tutoring Center will calculate this time for you. Do not automatically add the time when reporting your hours.

You will be paid 15 minutes if a tutee does not show up for an individual tutoring session (please do not wait longer than 15 minutes and write “no show” on your time sheet).

Group tutors will be paid for 30 minutes of prep time for a 3-hour group period. 15 minutes of prep time will be paid for 1 or 2 hour group sessions. The Tutoring Center will calculate this time for you. Do not automatically add the time when reporting your hours.
