I applied to be a tutor in the Student-Athlete Academic Services.
Just wondering if I can wear casual or do I have to dress up?
When I talk with the person on the phone, she made it sound like the interview is very informal.
Also, what are some of the possible questions they will be asking?

I'm guessing just wear semi casual, some khakis and a dress shirt. i doubt they're going to be quizzing you on what you'll be teaching, but probably just asking you about your past experience and what not.

That should be quick, I have no past experience.

it is very informal, but it can't hurt to show up in khakis and a polo shirt or a nice button down shirt. anything more and its too much for athletic tutorials.

i don't remember what they ask in the interview, for me when they asked they said "do you have time to tutor this quarter?" but i also knew the guy before so an interview wasn't necessary. my bf was a tutor and i don't think they interviewed him either.

basically you have to maintain confidentiality about your athletes, you can't help them with their homework, even if they have take home exams you can't go over it with them, and make the tutoring session a supplement to their classes, not a replacement.

Got the job.
There weren't enough econ tutors so they really didn't have a choice.
The guy that was tutoring for Econ got his phd.
I am just a Junior finishing my econ major, so it's going to be fun, yeah.

Don't worry about me helping them on homework, I don't even do my own homework.
