I tutored chemistry and biology by appointment and on a drop-in basis. Appointments allowed me to tutor one-on-one, and drop-in tutoring involved tutoring a large group of students at one time on a variety of subjects. I tutored by appointment about 12 hours per week, and by drop-in about 5 hours per week.

Assisted with day-to-day tasks at the VSLC including contacting potential volunteer sponsors and distributing information about opportunities to potential volunteers.
