Federal Work Study - Tutor UnityPoint Health - Allen College Shift: PRN As Needed Allen College seeks to hire a student tutor. The Tutor reports to the Coordinator of Student Success and Engagement. The Tutor provides small group tutoring to students in subject areas assigned and assists students in improving academic achievement by meeting with them on a regular basis to discuss course content, answer questions and explain general concepts. The Tutor aids students in their overall comprehension of the course material – without giving away the "answers." Tutoring is a supplement to teaching. Tutors are not expected to know everything about the subject for which they tutor, nor are they expected to perform test reviews or reteach course content.
