How to apply

To express interest in becoming a Tutor, please submit a completed Tutor Application Form along with your resume to Kezia Sinkewicz at ksinkewicz@coastmountaincollege.ca.

Request a tutor

Are you struggling with your course content?  It's easy to apply for a tutor - just complete the fillable Tutor Request Form! 

Once your application is received, you will be placed with a tutor in the subject area(s) you requested.  The tutor will contact you to set up a mutually good time to meet.  All tutoring will be done virtually using Bluejeans. 

While we strive to provide tutors in most subject areas, it’s not always possible.  If there is no tutor in the subject area you need, you may be referred to Learning Assistance or your instructor to receive assistance while a tutor is located.  

Tutor hours are limited, so we also recommend that you:

  • Connect with your instructor for additional support
  • Connect with classmates or form a study group
  • Make an appointment with a Learning Assistant Specialist
