We offer primarily associate degrees in career and transition programs, as well as general education courses and technical baccalaureate degrees to approximately 5,100 students.

The academic tutor will support students, on an individual or small group basis, as they learn disciplinary content and implement study strategies to meet faculty expectations in courses such as Anatomy and Physiology, Biology for Health Professions, Biology, and Microbiology. These are required courses for undergraduate students majoring in nursing, dental hygiene, allied health, and veterinary technology, as well as biology and other scientific fields.

This position requires proficiency in English and the ability to communicate effectively with students in a fast‑paced environment. Key responsibilities will be conveying difficult content in understandable language and helping students develop effective study skills for science courses.
