I find myself in much the same boat, and have yet to find what I consider a good solution. Feel free to email me off list if you have an answer or want to compare notes.

I wish we could hire some of our tutors once they graduate, but we cannot unless they start a graduate program here. We simply do not have funding to hire tutors who are not current undergraduate or graduate students. One of the biggest challenges in running a learning center that is almost totally student staffed is the constant turnover and the constant need to hire new students every single term. At a previous institution that had quarters it was as if I was constantly hiring, interviewing and training tutors every single month. Once you got fully staffed the term was over and some of the tutors either graduated, went out on co-op, or found a higher paying job. Rob       Robert L.

Cannot resist any longer. I just cannot understand why anyone would feel it was a good idea to set a limit on the number of semesters during which one may serve as a tutor. A good tutor is continually honing the skills needed to improve as a tutor. Why would one want to deprive one's school of tutors whose skills those at the school worked to improve? Are tutors considered to be adjunct faculty and the school wants to keep the percentage of adjuncts below a certain level?

We almost exclusively employ professional tutors; most are adjunct instructors. Amelia Students, please register early and pay early for Fall Semester 2007 credit classes to avoid longer lines and slower processing times during General and Late Registration. We expect longer lines with the first use of a new student registration system. Registration for Fall Semester begins July 9. See an advisor in June or July.

The school I currently work at has a limit on the number of semesters a professional tutor can work. Do you also have limitations like this?
