Who we are
The LRC is a community of staff, faculty, and students working collaboratively as educators to support the academic confidence and success of all students at CSUCI. We specialize in providing tutoring support for Math, Nursing, Spanish, and other Quantitative Reasoning & STEM-based subjects.
Join our Team
Experience the many benefits of working at the LRC including competitive wages, a positive working environment, and the opportunity to work closely with faculty members and students. Tutoring is a service that will strengthen your ability to learn and retain academic material in your courses. The LRC prioritizes students by offering a flexible work schedule and opportunities for advancement that contribute to students’ professional development. Our training program provides the opportunity to receive your CRLA Level 1 and/or Level 2 certifications. Best of all, Peer Tutors are academic leaders on our campus who make a difference in the lives of their peers and contribute to student success at CSUCI.
We also employ a smaller team of Student Assistants, whose main duties are hosting the front desk, matching students to tutors, ensuring that the daily data tracking for logging students in and out for LRC services is accurate and timely, monitoring the LRC inbox, answering the phones, booking tutoring appointments, and other associated office duties.
