Tutoring Basics

Tutors arrange their own schedule. The number of hours tutored depends upon student demand for the subject area. Tutoring hours are not guaranteed.

Tutoring sessions must be held on the UTA campus between the hours of 7:00 AM and 10:00 PM.

Tutors receive $8.00 per hour with the potential to earn up to $10.00 per hour as they gain experience and attend required training.

UTA students pay $6.50 per hour for tutoring and Student Service Fees fund the remainder of the tutor wage (Cost-Share Tutoring).
