Applicants for non-resident tutor positions use the same application as Resident Tutors. Please note that the hiring process for non-resident Tutors generally extends beyond the Resident Tutor process. Those interested in non-Resident roles after the close of this application should contact the House offices individually.
The Resident Tutor application is open year-round; however, we hire the majority of tutors between December and early April.
