SmartyCats tutors are current MSU students who enjoy sharing their knowledge with fellow students. They must have achieved at least a B+ in the courses they tutor and must have received a recommendation from the faculty member who taught the course.

They are good communicators and good listeners. They understand how challenging school can be, and they are on your team to help you succeed.
