Private Tutorial Assistance
The University Casual Employment Officer, Malcolm Ross, offers a service to match up tutors with students by advertising requests from students looking for a tutor. He also keeps a database of tutors offering their services and gives contact details to anyone enquiring. This is an 'all care, no responsibility' approach, so tutors and students sort out their own arrangements. Refer to the private tutorial assistance website for contact details.
