Quote from a former tutor: "Aside from the financial benefit of tutoring, I thoroughly enjoyed spending the time I did with the students I helped and the other tutors I worked with. I am proud to say that I was accepted to three dental schools. The different leadership experiences that came from helping students at the Tutoring Center was something I talked a lot about on my application and during the interviews I had." - Carter Milne (Dec. 2020 Graduate)
