The staff consists of three full-time tutors: Scott Colbert (Marietta and Paulding sites), Jennifer Hicks (Floyd and Douglasville sites), and Nea Martin (Cartersville Campus). The full-time or Senior Academic Tutors spend most of their time tutoring and also supervisor the part-time, volunteer tutors and peer (student) tutors at their sites. Part-time tutors are professional tutors employed at each site. Volunteer and peer tutors may also volunteer to work with students in specific areas. As funds permit, peer tutors are sometimes hired on a temporary basis. Students interested in becoming peer tutors should complete the Peer Link Application form and turn it in to the Tutorial Center at their sites. Community volunteers should complete the Community Volunteer Application Form and turn it in to the Tutorial Center at their sites.
