To create a partnership between instructor and embedded tutor that increases productivity and depth of learning during group work, one-on-one tutoring and other class activities
To support the growth of tutors in their educational and professional goals and offer a rewarding experience that will allow them to build their interpersonal and leadership skills, develop their teaching philosophy through mentorship by a seasoned instructor, and expand their resume.
