John Birkland - Academic Coordinator The Globe Education Network is currently accepting online student tutor applications. Tutoring provides students with an opportunity to enhance their mastery of course materials, augment their teaching skills, and earn some extra money – all at the same time! It’s also a great résumé builder. Tutors typically commit one hour per week to assisting a peer in achieving their academic goals and are paid $8.50/hour for their time.
If you are interested, please download and complete the tutoring application, and then return it to me at jbirkland@globeuniversity.edu. I will review your application and place it on file here in the Online Education department. I will then contact you once I receive a tutoring request for help that fits your particular skill set. (Please note that in order to tutor a student in a particular course you must have previously taken it and earned a final grade of B or better.)
