Something proactive: we always have people inquire about the tutoring positions after they are all filled. I encourage them to go ahead fill out the paperwork, take the test and see if they are qualified. I explain that sometimes life happens/schedules change and then I will have their information and they will be ready to go. I usually have a couple in reserve. They are not always still available but it usually works out. I find that it also gives me a starting point when I need to hire replacements for the next semester.

Whitman Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2007 9:04 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: tutor resignation Greetings! We are new in our tutoring program (just the second semester). Things have been going fairly well until yesterday when one of our top tutors unexpectedly resigned. He is an excellent student, but said that his own grades were falling. My question is, "what do you do when a tutor resigns during the semester and what preventive measures do you use to prevent this from occurring?"
