Peer tutors help students in a variety of areas related to their studies. Peer tutor positions are located within the Learning Center and are expected to be in-person, with few exceptions for remote tutoring, for the 2026-2027 school year. Peer tutors are expected to attend regular staff meetings which will be determined once we have everyone's availability.
The following are areas that tutors help with:
(You need skills in one or two of these areas to be a tutor.)
- Writing tutoring includes aspects of writing such as idea development, grammar, sentence structure, outlines, drafts and other areas of writing on through to the finished product.
- Software tutoring includes helping students with assignments that use Adobe Creative Cloud programs, HTML, CSS, or other software that is used in degree programs at MCAD.
- We are also looking for tutors who are interested in helping peers with studying for exams, studio class assignments, creating and practicing presentations, art critique, and time management and organization.
Note: This year we are primarily looking for animators, but students from any major can feel free to apply!
