The document summarizes the role and responsibilities of an Exam-AID Tutor. It explains that tutors will work in groups of 2-4 to develop and run review sessions for courses, with the goal of providing a helpful and high-quality service to the 400+ students who attend. Tutors are expected to create materials like PowerPoints and practice sample exams. The VP Academics oversees tutor preparation and coordination, while other volunteers advertise sessions and collect donations. Becoming a tutor provides leadership experience and strengthens one's knowledge, while helping many students on campus.

2. Becoming an Exam-AID Tutor is a
great way to make a difference to
many students on campus!
In 2011/2012, we taught 400 students
and raised $7700, proving there is a
definite need for our services!

3. President’s Message:
Our goal is not only to get large numbers of students
attending our sessions, but more importantly to ensure
we provide a helpful and high-quality service.

4. What’s involved in the
Exam-AID Tutor position?

5. The VP Academics will organize Exam-AID Tutors into groups
of 2-4 to develop and run sessions for a course of your choice.
You must have attained at least an A- in the course you wish to
teach and be comfortable explaining the material.
(Exceptions can be made if you have gone on to study
related content in higher-level courses).

6. Tutors are expected to:
- develop a PowerPoint that includes the review
content for the session
- make a sample exam or take-home review package
for students to access after the session
- practice and then run 1 or 2 sessions before the
midterm/exam
A Course Coordinator in each subject group will
help you stay connected and on track!

7. Responsibilities of Tutors can be split either:
a) By task – some tutors prepare the session and others
make the take-home package
b) By content – Evenly split the units to be reviewed
among the tutors
Additionally, you will have access to the review materials
used last year and by SOS chapters at other universities.

8. Tutors can expect to meet
other exceptional students
who are dedicated to making a
positive difference at UVic!

also refreshing and strengthening their knowledge of the course content.
