SCC’s Tutor Program is certified at Level I and Level II through the College Reading and Learning Association / International Tutor Program Certification.
Tutors achieve each level of certification, through training and tutoring experience.
- Level I: 10 hours of training and 25 hours of tutoring experience
- Level II: 10 additional hours of training and 25 additional hours of tutoring experience
Tutors are required to attend a day-long training at the beginning of fall and spring semesters. Each day provides six hours of the necessary training for certification.
In addition, tutors are asked to observe one class each semester. This observation can include a class a tutee is attending, or a class in the content area they tutor. Throughout the semester, additional training workshops are offered, along with the option of viewing training videos or DVDs to complete the ten-hour training requirement.
