Hi, Kate,



      It would be better, if you had a job to post, to send it (normally

to Brooke Miller, but she's on vacation) to one of us advisers.  Our

majors in both Math and ACMS may well be very interested in Kaplan

tutoring (either Math or GRE prep, etc.)  Please send an email that I
can

forward, and if there's an attachment, let them know in the body of the

email what the attachment is (since we have to be protective vs.

passing viruses).  I'll be happy to forward it on to our majors!



      Also, we do have a public Math Tutor list on the web, and some

people contact them directly to see if they are interested in a more

steady type of tutoring.  See

http://www.math.washington.edu/Undergrad/tutorlists.php

Some of those people have actual tutoring business; some do it more

casually.  Good luck to you in finding excellent math tutors!



Julie
