<p>Hi. Anyone know if there is a tutoring agency or something on campus (or nearby) that hires students? I'm interested in making a couple of bucks, but I'd prefer to tutor via an organized agency rather than have to go out and pin ads. Is there something like this at penn?</p>

<p>PS. Anyone know what the avg. rates are? I'd probably tutor spanish (native speaker) and maybe econ or math.</p>

<p>you can tutor me: spanish, econ, AND math, please.</p>

<p>i can pay you $12! ^-^</p>

<p>Penn employs tutors: Tutoring</a> Center</p>

4

<p>There are also many agencies in the area that hire for SAT prep and HS tutoring. Keep your ear out.</p>

5

<p>Yeah, I saw the tutoring center thing, but the require a minimum amount of hours. I was hoping to tutor maybe 3 hours a week or something like that.</p>

6

<p>try facebook spamming large groups of freshmen thru Courses or something?
Might be more targeted and you don't have to go outside and put up all those signs.</p>

7

<p>^ good idea</p>

8

<p>do you think students might be interested in paying for conversational spanish tutoring?</p>

9

<p>not sure - it wouldn't seem that hard for a tutee to make a good friend who happens to speak spanish anyway.
But you'll definitely find students for math and econ.</p>

10

<p>^Yeah, you're right. I guess I'll be tutoring econ 001 and econ 002 and math 103. So if anyone out there is interested, send me a PM lol</p>

<p>The Penn Language Center offers conversational tutors for foreign languages. Here's</a> the link to apply to be such a tutor.</p>

<p>Also, if anyone is looking to be tutored, the link for that is right [url=<a href="http://www.plc.sas.upenn.edu/studentapplication.php%5Dhere%5B/url"&gt;http://www.plc.sas.upenn.edu/studentapplication.php]here[/url&lt;/a&gt;].&lt;/p>

<p>^sweet, thanks</p>

13

<p>theoneo, do you know if it is a paid job? Or is it more of a voluntary thing? (either one would work, because I need $ but I could also use some experience on my resume).</p>

14

<p>I would assume it's paid like the tutor positions through the Tutoring Center, but the Language Center doesn't have much information at all, and the application doesn't ask anything about on-campus jobs or work-study, so maybe not.</p>

<p>So... I have no idea.</p>
