What’s It Like Being a Tutor at Cabot?

Each year, Cabot House selects a new batch of resident tutors. Many prospective tutors have questions: about the house system, roles and responsibilities as a tutor, and what makes being a tutor at Cabot House such a unique and rewarding experience.

Fortunately, Julie Kobick, a Cabot House alumnus—both as a student and a tutor—has written a lovely essay explaining the many aspects of being a tutor at Cabot. We encourage you to take a look!
