Become a tutor

Cégep à distance is looking for qualified people to coach and guide students in various courses. We need a bank of candidates that we can call on to tutor students as enrolment increases.

If you apply, your application will be evaluated and you may be contacted for a videoconference interview when additional tutors are needed.

Role of Cégep à distance tutors

The courses offered by Cégep à distance are self-contained: the course materials provided to the students cover the entire subject matter of the course and include all the exercises and assignments to be completed.

Tutors do not actually teach the course, but rather provide tailored learning support to the students.

Watch these two videos of our tutors in action with their students to better understand what their relationship is like.

To enable subtitles in your language if you wish, first click on the subtitles (CC) icon to enable them, then click on the settings icon and select the subtitles option, then the automatic translation option and choose your language.
