Tutors are Dartmouth students who have done well in their courses and want to help others. They are recruited and trained by the Tutor Clearinghouse Coordinator. Tutors are available for a variety of courses, including (but not limited to) math, physics, chemistry, languages, biology, economics, music, philosophy, and psychology. All Dartmouth students are eligible for tutoring.
The cost for tutoring is $9 per hour. Students who receive financial aid from Dartmouth, (i.e., NOT Pell grants or Stafford loans), qualify for up to three hours of tutoring every week for each class in which they are enrolled. If you have a question as to whether this applies to you, contact your financial aid advisor. If a misunderstanding occurs and a student is discovered to NOT receive financial aid, the tutee will be liable for all charges incurred to that point.
The Tutor Clearinghouse serves only as a liaison; the tutor and the tutee are the only ones directly involved in the actual tutoring work. Matches are not sanctioned until all paperwork has been received/processed by the Tutor Clearinghouse. Both parties involved must have received notification indicating that the match is officially recognized. All information is kept strictly confidential. For example, being tutored will not appear on your college record. Tutoring sessions are private and one-on-one. Tutors and tutees arrange their own time and place to meet (ideally, on a regular basis).
The Tutor Clearinghouse is one of many campus resources available to student-athletes. The Dartmouth College Athletic Department appropriates a portion of the NCAA Student-Athlete Academic Enhancement grant to cover the costs of tutoring for student-athletes that do not receive financial aid from Dartmouth College (as defined above). As are other students, student-athletes receiving financial aid from the College are already entitled to receive up to three hours of tutoring per class as part of their award package. If you have questions regarding tutoring for student-athletes, please contact Meg Hancock (advisormeg@dartmouth.edu, 603-646-9378). PLEASE NOTE: The Athletic Department does not provide tutors for student-athletes.
