Academic Learning Center Tutor Training Program

The Academic Learning Center offers training for tutors across campus. Our tutor training program consists of ten hours of training that begins with a 2-hour orientation session which covers the roles, rights, and responsibilities of a tutor. After completing the orientation, tutors have choices of how they will complete the additional eight hours of training:

Four online modules

Setting Goals and Planning
Learning Styles
Study Skills
Memory and the Brain

A selection of 1-hour workshops covering topics such as working with students with disabilities, effective communication skills, and preparing for cumulative exams.

In addition, once students have completed the orientation session, they will have access to the Tutor Training D2L site with handouts and other information useful to tutors.
If your department offers tutoring and would like your tutors to participate in our training, please contact us via email, alc@stcloudstate.edu, or phone, 308-4993, and we will notify you of our schedule.
