Recommending Students To Apply As STEMLC Tutors
- We rely on faculty to assist us in identifying student candidates for future STEMLC
peer tutoring positions.
- Peer tutors are not content matter experts, they are guides to learning.
- Excellent candidates are students from your current classes who understand the material (at the A or B grade level) and can help other students understand the material.
- We actively seek recommendations from faculty via email during the fall and spring
semesters for our typical December and May hiring periods (recommendations are due
by the beginning of week 12).
- If you have identified students who can fulfill the role of a peer tutor, please participate in our recommendation process and encourage those students to apply.
- Outside of our typical hiring periods, please refer students to our STEMLC Jobs page and contact our Faculty Coordinator for additional information.
Requesting Office Hours In The STEMLC
- Faculty can request to hold their office hours in the STEMLC at Oceanside, San Elijo, or Zoom (access with your MiraCosta Google account).
