A subject tutor is responsible for breaking down concepts to a student for a particular course. The tutor must be able to explain the course material in an easy-to-understand manner and in a variety of ways. The tutor is not required to have taken the course personally; however, the tutor must be knowledgeable on the subject matter. Subject tutors typically meet for weekly sessions, so a consistent schedule is preferable. Subject tutors are able to tutor as many subjects as he/she/they feel comfortable tutoring.
