About the Program

At Tutor Clearinghouse, we provide student-to-student academic support each term by matching undergraduate students wanting 1-on-1 guidance in a course to other students who have excelled in the course previously.

If you have any questions, concerns, or comments at any time (including during a match), please feel free to contact us! Also, you can find Holly Potter's weekly office hours here.

IMPORTANT: New Policies (Effective Starting Fall 2012)

• If a tutor and a tutee request each other, they may be tentatively matched via e-mail. However, they must also see Holly Potter to be matched in person before the match is considered official and the tutor can be compensated by Tutor Clearinghouse.
• All tutors must attend a training session to be paid the full $9/hr wage. Timesheets submitted before a tutor has attended a training session will be processed at $8.50/hr. (Training sessions are both on Blackboard and in physical locations.)

Tutors:

Tutors must apply for the position every term.

To qualify, tutors must have received at least an A- in the course previously (some exceptions apply - ask us).

Tutors are expected to commit up to 3 hours per week per tutee, depending on each tutee's need.

The pay rate is $9/hr. (Be sure to read the specific details on our payment policies!)

Tutees:

Tutees must request a tutor for each course separately.

Once matched, it is the responsibility of the tutee to contact the tutor to set up a meeting time and payment details (if applicable).

Expenses incurred by tutees who receive Financial Aid from Dartmouth or are on varsity athlete teams will be covered by the College. However, tutees NOT on financial aid or on a varsity team are expected to pay their tutors independently.
