Become an ENG Tutor

Thank you for your interest in becoming an ENG tutor. The application for the 2024-25 academic year is closed. Applications for Fall 2025 will open in Spring 2025.

Tutor Job Description:

Tutors in the BU College of Engineering play a key role in helping ENG students achieve their goals and find success in their studies. You can be someone who makes a difference in the lives of our students as you share your knowledge and skills with the BU ENG community. Tutoring is a paid position within the College of Engineering, and as you help tutor students, you will also be developing your own educational and leadership skills. Most tutors work around six in-person hours per week (two three-hour shifts) and help students master the concepts in classes for which they have expertise. Starting in Fall 2024, ENG tutors also provide a limited amount of online availability each week. We are looking for ENG students in all four majors that have mastered either/both general ENG courses and upper-level courses specific to their major. The ENG tutoring center is open from 5-10pm each week from Monday through Thursday and 3-6pm on Sundays.

Tutoring Expectations:

  • Conduct individual and small group drop-in tutoring sessions throughout the semester.
  • Have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.
  • Work 6 in-person hours per week, Monday to Thursday, and/or Sundays. Shifts are from 5-8pm, 6-9pm & 7-10pm on weekdays and from 3-6pm on Sundays.
  • Work a limited number of online hours per week and have open availability for online appointments.
  • Tutors must be either mechanical, computer, electrical or biomedical engineering majors.
  • Must attend a mandatory training before tutoring resumes each semester.
