We can, however, offer letters of recommendation to tutors who display consistent and successful tutoring to our students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tutors are assigned on an as-needed basis. Once a tutor submits their resume and is approved by the Director\/EAP Coordinator, they will be put on the tutor list and notified of being put on the list by email.
