Chinese Language Tutor Application

(updated May 2018)

Attention: Chinese tutoring is NOT a job with payments. It is NOT an opportunity for practicing English either. It’s a course (Chn 197T) or volunteering opportunity for UCD students and beyond to develop multiple career competences through helping others in Chinese learning. A Chinese tutor shall:

1) be highly responsible, reliable, and self-motivated to help others

2) speak standard Mandarin Chinese,

3) have the ability to read simple articles in Chinese newspapers,

4) be able to write Chinese characters neatly,

5) be willing to learn new knowledge and skills,

6) be a team-player and cooperative with others,

7) attend the scheduled orientation (first-time applicants shall also attend the

screening interview),

8) have no problem to strictly follow the tutoring schedule; for the assigned

tutoring hours, must not be absent, or come late or leave early, and

9) submit a reflection report at the end of the quarter before the final exam starts.

If you think you are such a person and would like to be a Chinese tutor this quarter, please complete this form and send as an email attachment to the professor in charge. Returning tutors shall also complete and submit the form. The professor will contact you with his/her decision after reviewing your application.

Volunteer tutors shall also complete a Volunteer Form (download at ).

Please read the following reminder and sign before completing the form:

The U Davis Code of Academic Conduct and University of California Standards of Conduct require that students be honest and act fairly at all times.  Any dishonesty in completing academic work or when providing information to the University may be referred to Student Judicial Affairs for disciplinary action.  Repeated acts of dishonesty can result in Suspension or Dismissal from the University.
