CAA Tutoring Program
Do you need some help in your accounting/finance courses or want to earn some extra income? Sign up for our tutoring program and share some knowledge! Rates are to be determined through an agreement between the tutor and student.
The intention of the Capilano Accounting Association’s (CAA) policies and procedures for tutoring is to protect both tutors and tutees, as well as the CAA, from misunderstandings and academic misconduct. Additionally, this document provides a guideline for a successful tutoring contract.At the beginning of the semester, interested tutors must meet the CAA’s Director of Tutoring to sign the CAA policies and procedures agreement in order to be eligible to tutor. Tutors are required to repeat this process every semester.

A person who is interested in tutoring for any specific course must have received a minimum of B+ in that course and have an overall GPA of at least 3.0 to be eligible to tutor.

Tutors act as a guide and are contracted to clarify course material and concepts. Providing answers (without helping student to find the answer) and completing assignments or homework for a tutee is considered academic misconduct).
