1. SLC - Applications for tutors
The Student Learning Center is currently accepting applications from
students who are interested in becoming science or CS tutors this
spring.
We have openings for tutors on a credit or auditing (no units) basis
in the following courses:
Biology 1A
Chemistry 1A, 3A, 3B
Computer Science 3, 61A, 61C
MCB 102
NST 10
Physics 7A, 7B, 8A, 8B
We may have paid tutor openings in the following areas (with course
requirements):
G-Chem (Have completed Chem 1A/4A and one other Chem class)
O-Chem (Have completed one year of O-Chem lecture and lab)
Computer Science (Have completed CS 61A and 61C)
Physics (Have completed 2 semesters of university physics)
We also may have openings for paid study group leaders in the following:
Chem 1A, Chem 3A, Chem 3B,
Physics 8A, Physics 8B
CS 61A, CS 61C
Applications are considered on a rolling basis. The latest that we
anticipate accepting applications is Friday, January 20th but some
of the positions may have been
filled by then. So turning an application in sooner is advantageous to you.
To apply to be a tutor, either pick up an application outside 141
Chavez or you can download the application using the following link:
http://slc.berkeley.edu/tutor/tutor_sciencecs.htm
This online application contains everything you need to apply to be
an SLC tutor, and it should contain answers to most questions. If
you have any questions after looking at it, please feel free to email
me.
