Our Tutors

SALT tutors are juniors, seniors, or graduate students with a minimum cumulative G.P.A. of 3.0. They are currently enrolled at the University, and have been recommended by University faculty members or other individuals who attest to their content knowledge and skills/character. A few tutors, already graduated at Bachelor, Masters, or Ph.D. levels, are hired outside of the University population.
