LEVEL I TUTOR TRAINING
All individuals newly hired as a tutor for the Tutoring Center must complete Level I Modules and the test for each Module. The links for the first three Modules are listed below and must be completed in the order listed. All three Modules and the test for each must be completed before you will be allowed to tutor. When you complete a test for a Module, turn it in to the Tutoring Center Coordinator or a Staff member in the Tutor Lab in Warner 211. Individuals completing this training on extended campuses may contact your respective Tutor Liaison to submit your completed test answers. You may take notes while watching the Modules and may use the notes during testing. Each test will be open book and you must make 90% or higher on each test to be allowed to tutor. You will be scheduled to attend the required 8 hour seminar at the end of your first quarter of tutoring.
Free tutoring is one of the most popular programs. This program places students wanting to be tutored with a tutor who has previously taken the course and received a "B" or better. A faculty member must sign a competency form before a student will be trained as a tutor. Your prompt attention is the key to our providing timely service to the students.
If we are short of tutors, faculty are contacted for suggestions of possible tutors, or to make an announcement in classes encouraging good students to become tutors. Tutors are paid and can arrange their own work schedules. Students who tutor report many benefits.
The Tutoring Center is open from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm Monday through Thursday and 8:00 am to 4:00 pm on Fridays. Contact the Tutoring Center for hours of operation during summer quarter.
Faculty, advisors, and staff involvement in this program is critical to how successful tutoring is for students. Encouragement given to good students to consider tutoring, completing tutor competency forms, and taking time to talk with employed tutors about educational goals can increase the strength and worth of the tutoring experience for peer tutor and student alike.

The Warner Library and Student Center, Room 211, is the hub of tutoring activity on campus. The Ohio State at Newark and the Central Ohio Technical College students learn from peers about how to be more successful in class. Tutors share information about course content as well as teach their tutee how to study for certain types of tests.
Over the years, the Tutoring Program has become one of the most popular student centered programs on the Newark campus and the COTC extended campuses. Hundreds of students have been employed as Peer Tutors and thousands more have received free tutoring.
Students work together to learn concepts, study for tests, plan projects, complete assignments and generally figure out how to make the most of the classroom experience.
Tutors are students and instructors employed to work at hours they arrange, before and after classes. They are recommended by faculty to be tutors and trained to be effective as one-to-one communicators.
Students requesting tutors select which hours are most convenient for them. Requests can be made for tutoring in any subject. Assignments are made on a first-come first-served basis according to tutor availability. Two hours a week are scheduled for each class, but more hours can be given as needed. Tutoring is FREE to all students.
Any requests that are received before the first week of classes will be assigned after classes begin during the first week of the quarter, and they will be made daily thereafter. If you do not receive an e-mail from us on or before the 4th school day after filling out a request ( with the exception of the first week of classes) please contact the Tutoring Center Staff.
Here are a few comments from students in the Tutoring Program...
"Without my tutor's help, I never would have made it through math."
"Because my tutor had the same teacher, he showed me how to study for tests and I wasn't so up tight about tests after a while."
"I am glad I became a tutor. It really helped me be a better student too. And it gave me work experience for my resume'."
