Information on Tutoring
SBCC Tutors
An Accudemia Kiosk is a specific software tool used on a physical computer station placed in each tutoring space on campus. Since we are no longer on campus, we have designed a version that can be operated from your computer at home. The student will not directly interact with the kiosk. The tutor will ask a series of questions (3 to be exact) of the student and make the selection for them.
The information that is gathered through Accudemia will be vital to demonstrate the positive impact you and your fellow tutors have on student success.
Training Material for tutors:
- Watch the training video (4 minutes): https://youtu.be/IAfxSOfmm7I
- Creating an Accudemia Kiosk
- Signing in Students
- Signing out Students
After reviewing the training material, tutors should complete this survey(coming soon) to document your status on setting up an Accudemia Kiosk.
*Please note that this Form requires authentication with a campus account. If you have a personal Google account, you should sign out of the personal Google account and then select the link. Alternatively, you can open the link in an incognito window. This will prevent the web browser from recognizing your personal Google account.
Hourly tutors not enrolled in any SBCC classes may purchase a parking pass at a reduced rate.

If you are an SBCC tutor, the Tutor Hiring and Work Experience Guide (Spring 2021) contains valuable information for you. You will learn the steps to an effective tutoring session, familiarize yourself with the different types of tutoring on campus, find out how to access your online time sheet, and see when your paycheck will be ready for you to pick up. Pay rate information is located on pages 17 and 18 of the Tutor Handbook.
