The NAIT Tutor Registry has been retired and has now been replaced with Nimbus Learning!

The Nimbus Learning tutoring program is a course-specific tutoring service providing support at your convenience. Tutors go through a rigorous approval process, which includes verification that they have achieved 75% or higher in the courses that they would like to tutor.

NAITSA has partnered up with Nimbus Learning, a mobile learning platform provider, to ensure that we can easily provide support for as many courses as possible at NAIT while making the booking, communication and scheduling process as easy as can be.

Can't find a tutor in your subject area? Click here to fill out our Tutor Request form

Tip: Remember to search general tutors for your subject with code 000, for example, MATH 000 or ACCT 000. General tutors have a great knowledge of the subject for which they are listed and can help you too!

BECOME A TUTOR

DISCLAIMER: Tutors engaged through Nimbus are not employees of the institution, students’ association, or Nimbus. When you become a tutor through Nimbus, you are considered an independent contractor, therefore, are not eligible to receive any formal employment documents or verification.

The NAIT Students’ Association is looking for knowledgeable tutors who possess a 75% or above grade in the course(s) they wish to tutor. As a tutor, you can gain valuable tutoring experience, choose your hourly pay rate and choose your own availability.

If you’re interested, please apply!

You will need to have a Google account to access the application form below, as well as a NAIT account.

1. For Google Account creation help, please click here. Please note that you DO NOT need a Gmail address to create a Google Account and access the form, and instead can link it to your existing Non-Gmail email address.

2. If you are not a current NAIT student or staff member and wish to be a tutor, please first create a NAIT account here.

3. Please note the following: If you are a NAIT student/graduate you may be eligible to tutor NAIT specific courses. If you have not taken a course at NAIT and wish to tutor that subject, you will be registered to tutor generic courses in that subject. For example, if you have not taken CHEM 2341 at NAIT, but you have proficient chemistry experience, you may be eligible to tutor “General Chemistry Courses 000” but not Chemistry 2341 specifically. 

If you have any questions, please email support@nimbuslearning.com.

NIMBUS LEARNING TUTOR APPLICATION FORM

TUTOR F.A.Q.

Why do I have to create a new tutor account with Nimbus?
Earlier in 2026, NAIT implemented new rules to their user accounts as a security measure. With that, user accounts now expire after a certain time when the student graduates. Therefore, all tutors who have graduated, staff who are no longer teaching, or were never students (external tutors) would lose access to Nimbus. The way to ensure tutors will always have access to Nimbus and will be able to continue supporting NAIT students is by creating a new tutor account with their personal email address.
Who is impacted by this change?
All vetted NAITSA and Nimbus tutors will have to change their accounts. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to make the transition process as seamless as possible.
Will my profile be reset? Will my profile data be lost?
The sad news is that possibly some tutor accounts will have to be reset while others will not. There are many variables that determine who will have to reset their accounts or not. We are working with Nimbus to ensure the majority of the accounts will remain as is (just the tutor’s login will change).
What happens to my student account on Nimbus?
Nothing! Current student accounts will not be impacted by this change. Make sure you continue logging in with your NAIT username when prompted. When you graduate, you will lose access to your student profile in Nimbus after a few months, however.
My friend who is a tutor did not lose any data in his tutor profile but I did. How come?
There are many variables currently determining whose accounts need to be totally reset or not. If you would like to understand more about why yours is impacted in a particular way, feel free to email us at tutor@nait.ca or stop by the NAITSA office.

The Fine Print

We urge students to talk to their professors before seeking outside help; professors are the best tutors and want to help, and office hours are free of charge. Tutoring remains a private arrangement between the tutor and tutee; NAITSA does not take responsibility for the quality or results of a tutor or appointment, but NAITSA does verify that registered tutors have successfully completed the courses they tutor with a grade above 75%. External tutors are vetted and are able to teach generic subjects.

DISCLAIMER: Tutors engaged through Nimbus are not employees of the institution, students’ association, or Nimbus. When you become a tutor through Nimbus, you are considered an independent contractor, therefore, are not eligible to receive any formal employment documents or verification.

Payment Info: All payments must be made by setting up a Stripe account through the Nimbus app. The max amount you can charge per course is $60.00 Cad. Cash payments are not allowed.

How do I pay a tutor?

You add a credit card under your account settings and payments are handled securely through Stripe.

Does Nimbus Learning take a commission or add fees onto my payments to my tutor?

No, Nimbus Learning does not take any additional fees, so when you pay your tutor they get the whole amount of money directly.

I’m a tutor, so how do I get paid?

After applying and being hired, you will receive a confirmation and registration email from us. In the Nimbus Learning app or web browser you will need to set up your payment information with Stripe to enter your direct deposit information. Stripe processes the payment from your tutee right after your session, but the money may not be deposited into your bank account right away depending on your financial institution (times may vary).

I am an international student. Can I tutor? Does that count as employment on campus?

For more information, you can submit Immigration questions through NAIT.ca/help. You can also book an appointment with an advisor here.

I can’t find a tutor in my subject – what should I do?

If you checked Nimbus Learning and still cannot find a tutor for the class you need help with, please fill out this form to let us know. We will target our recruitment to your program or subject area.

I still have questions. Who do I contact?

If you have any questions about the Nimbus Learning program, or for any technical inquires, please contact Nimbus Learning directly at support@nimbuslearning.com. If you are a tutor and have questions please email support@nimbuslearning.com.
