About the Tutors

Each tutor must obtain an A or B in the subject area they intend to tutor, as well as maintain a 3.0 GPA. Tutors are required to submit an updated unofficial transcript every semester. They tutor in undergraduate or core curriculum courses and graduate courses when possible. Placement with a tutor is not guaranteed, as placement is dependent upon availability.

The West Texas A&M University Tutor Assistance Program is a member of the National Tutoring Association.
