Grinds and Academic Support

What Is the Grinds and Academic Support Programme?

If you have completed your undergraduate degree and wish to work as a paid tutor to our UCC PLUS undergraduate students, please register with our tutoring partners at the Skills Centre to join their database of Potential Tutors. 

Successful Tutors are paid the standard, Hourly, UCC PG Tutorial rate to all our Tutors for the PLUS Programme grinds, and we no longer recruit Tutors directly ourselves.  The UCC Skills Centre handle all applications on our behalf.

Desirable criteria: Candidates should have practical experience and familiarity with the content of particular modules that are needed and with accessing UCC Past Exam papers. Candidates should have recently completed their own studies of the undergraduate modules which they now wish to tutor in. Previous experience of working as a tutor is desirable but not necessary as training will be provided.
