WHO ARE OUR TUTORS?

Southern State tutors come from a variety of backgrounds ranging from students and part-time faculty to full professors and local community members. Each tutor is evaluated and hired based on their area or areas of expertise. Generally a student must be recommended by a full-time member of the faculty or a senior staff member before they being hired.
