The University of Alabama at Birmingham Athletics
Tutor and Mentor Application
Tutors assist student-athletes in becoming proficient in specific academic course(s). Tutors will provide explanation and clarification of course content, and they may also use techniques such as quizzing or questioning to gauge the student-athlete’s understanding and comprehension.
Mentors work to help student-athletes develop appropriate study skills, note-taking habits, and test-taking strategies for college coursework. Examples of mentoring duties might include helping student-athletes make weekly study plans, teaching a student-athlete how to study for a test, or demonstrating time-management and organization skills.
Both of these positions will be assigned specific student-athletes and will meet with student-athletes individually on a weekly basis. Occasionally, you may also be asked to have a one-time appointment or a small group appointment.
