ECE Student Services maintains a Google Group of Virginia Tech students who are interested in earning money through private ECE tutoring. The tutoring requests range from 1000 – 4000 level ECE courses and, generally, several requests are made per week. There is no obligation to take any jobs. However, if you decide to take a job, all arrangements (including rate charged) are up to the individuals involved.
Please keep in mind the following ethical boundaries when considering a tutoring request:
- If you are a grader for a course, you cannot tutor a student enrolled in the specific section(s) for which you are a grader.
- However, you can tutor a student enrolled in a different section.
- If you are teaching a course, you cannot offer tutoring for the course (this includes any section).
- Please treat the transaction between you and the student as confidential.
