Yup, it's a tutor. (Y)

we call em TA's where I live, which stands for Teachers Aide, but really as illini said it can be either of those words. Aide can also stand for assistant.

Wait Koldphyre, is it a student in the class or a student learning to become a teacher?

If its just a classmate or soemthing like that, it's a tutor.

If its a student studying education/teaching and comes in for work experience and helps out, that's a student teacher.

A student aid is a qualified teacher who helps students with special needs in the classroom.

A teacher aid would be a qualified teacher who is helping out the teacher in the classroom.

hum... it's just a student...
e.g.:
I'm in the 2nd year in my university... if I got a good grade in a course X (in my 1st year), the teacher of this course X picks me to help the 1st year's students. and i get some discount ($$$ ;) )...

so... it would be a tutor, right?
but lot of people is sayin' that it is a TA - Teacher/Teaching Aide...
what do u think? :roll:

Sounds to me like you're a tutor. A teacher's aide would be hired through the university, not just picked by the teacher of the course. (Y)

it would depend on each institution i think...the professor maybe able to tell the university "here, i want this guy to be my TA" and they do it...i've seen it done here many times...but if you're helping the other students and not actually teaching them, you're a tutor...if you actually teach like a discussion section, you're a TA

^ If you're a tutor/TA, for the students' sake I hope it's not an English course. :P
