All about the SMUSA Online Tutor Database

The SMUSA Online Tutor Database was designed for students looking for a tutor and for students looking to become a tutor. The database, which was set up online only a few years ago, is an important resource for students. Registering to be a tutor and looking for a tutor is free! SMUSA posts the information and sets the rules. It is up to the tutor and the student to arrange meetings, location, and any charges or transactions. There are categories and tutors listed for almost all majors, as well as a new category for student looking to receive help with proofreading and editing.

There are several terms for the database that helps the process to be more efficient and reliable. Tutors registered will provide a free 20 minute consultation with the student. The maximum amount a tutor can charge is $15 per hour. Tutors must have an A- average or above in the classes in which they wish to tutor.
Not doing as well as you would like in a class? Or just looking for some extra help? Go to www.smusa.ca and click on the Tutor Database tab on the left-hand site. Clock “Search”, and begin you search for a tutor. There are many benefits of searching for a tutor through the SMUSA database. You will be finding a tutor who is also a student and who has taken the class already and got a good mark. The service is also very affordable for students on a tight budget.

Looking to become a tutor? To apply to the tutor database, go to www.smusa.ca and click on the Tutor Database tab on the left-hand side. Click “Apply” and fill out your information. After you application is received, you will get an email asking for a letter of reference and your transcript. The letter can be from another student in one of your classes or a professor. You can copy and paste your transcript off of Banner into an email to make things easier. SMUSA will only be stamping posters for registered tutors, so if you want to post your information around campus, make sure you register with us. Students wishing to charge for tutoring must also register with SMUSA before they can book rooms on campus with Conference Services. This is a great way to help out your fellow students and make some extra cash.
