iv) PEER TUTORING: The Arts Undergraduate Society is looking for peer tutors!

If you are interested in peer tutoring a course that you have taken, a language that you have mastered, or a skill like academic essay writing, please contact AUS Peer Tutor Coordinator Melissa Tam at tutoring@ausmcgill.com <mailto:tutoring@ausmcgill.com> Qualified students must have received a grade of A- or higher in a course they wish to tutor, or a B+ if their program GPA is above 3.5. The tutoring program is a volunteer based service, but we do make the friendly suggestion that all tutees buy their tutors a cup of coffee per session as a form of reimbursement and a sign of gratitude.
