The Process for Students
Please follow these steps to guide your journey
- Complete & submit the online Tutoring Request Form
- Once the completed request form is received, an inquiry is sent to Upstate International’s database of teachers and tutors.
- The student then reviews the resume(s) received and notifies UI’s Programs & Events Coordinator, Linley Crocker, of their selection. The student may ask for interviews to be set up if a decision can not be made based on resumes alone.
- Once a decision has been made, the student’s information is provided to the tutor.
-
The tutor will initiate contact with the student to coordinate dates and times.
(Cancelled or rescheduled sessions made less than 24 hours prior will incur a charge for the full session rate.) - At the end of each month, the tutor submits that month’s tutoring hours to UI’s Office & Membership Coordinator, Evelyn Hargett.
- Upstate International will invoice you for the tutoring sessions at the end of the month. You can pay by cash, check, card, or through PayPal. If you have any further questions about payment, please email Evelyn Hargett
The Process for Tutors
Please follow these steps to guide your journey:
- The tutee will contact Upstate International to inquire about tutoring and fill out a form to determine their tutoring needs. If you teach the language they are looking for, we will email you to see if you are interested in taking the student.
- We will email you the answers to the questions they filled out on the form and you can determine if the student will be a good fit for you.
- You will email us with your resumé and hourly rate for tutoring, both of which we will pass on to the student.
- If the student chooses you as their tutor, we will send a group email connecting the two of you. Feel free to set up a phone conference or Zoom call or even set up a time to meet for coffee if you would like to get to know your tutee before the sessions begin. From here you can also determine the scheduling and timing for the sessions, etc.
- You will submit your hours from the tutoring sessions at the end of each month on a timesheet, linked below
- Upstate International will pay you via check. If you have any further questions about payment, please contact Evelyn Hargett
