We are setting up our tutorial program again this semester and are hoping that you will be able to distribute this job posting on your career site and/or mail it out to your students. Both Concurrent and Consecutive Education students are welcome to apply. We value the experience that these students can bring to the sessions over and above their subject area competence.

I have attached a pdf document. You will notice that we are considering running tutorials in several other areas besides pure mathematics. Please let me know if you need any further information.

Thank you for your help.
