Inevitably a few students in my full-time NMPD Web Communications classes at SAIT become somewhat overwhelmed with the material, most especially in the 1^st year of classes.

SAIT seeks to ease this process through the Learning Skills & Tutoring Program, offering part-time positions for students to tutor others. The only requirement is an A grade in the course being tutored, and an overall average of 3.5 GPA. The program is an excellent opportunity for those who have survived into the 2nd year to become paid tutors for 1st year students.

Interest in the program from 1^st year students is growing, but historically it has gained relatively little involvement from 2^nd years (which, to be fair, may be due to the fact that many of them feel they have more than enough work already). It’s also possible that students just aren’t aware of the procedure.
