Other Sources of Help

2. Virtual Job Board https://osfaweb1.ad.uiuc.edu/vjb/ - The Virtual Job Board allows you to post an ad for a tutor. Check the board to see the “going rate” for tutors and determine what you are able/willing to pay for one. Students in DRES who have used this resource have generally had success in finding a tutor.
3. Academic Advisors – Your academic advisor may know of resources in individual departments to assist you.
4. DRES Academic Staff – Contact your Resource Facilitator (case manager) to determine if s/he may know of another student who would be willing to tutor you. Sometimes students who are receiving DRES services are interested in tutoring other students in their strong areas as a way of giving back to DRES for what they have received.
