Cannot convert method group 'ToList' to non-delegate type

I'm trying to write a method that generates multiple invoices. This is for a college, where clients are enrolled with tutors in a class called Enrollments. With this method, I am trying to accumulate the monthly fee of the tutors clients multiplied by their commission percentages, as tutors earn a certain commission on the lessons they give. Here is my code for this:

    public ActionResult CreateBulkCommissions()
    {
        var month = DateTime.Now.ToString("MMMM");

        var enrolments = db.Enrollments.ToList();

        var newCommissions = from enrolment in enrolments
                             select new TutorCommission()
                             {
                                 CommissionAmount = enrolment.MonthlyFee,
                                 CommissionMonth = month,  // string constant 
                                 CommissionStatus = "Unpaid",
                                 Tutor = new Tutor { TutorNoID = enrolment.Tutor.TutorNoID, TutorCommissionPercentage = enrolment.Tutor.TutorCommissionPercentage }
                             };
        foreach (var newCommission in newCommissions)
        {
            List<TutorCommission> TutorComs = newCommissions.GroupBy(g => g.Tutor).Select(s => new TutorCommission
            {
                CommissionAmount = s.Sum(u => u.CommissionAmount) * s.Key.TutorCommissionPercentage,
                TutorNoID = s.Key.TutorNoID

            }).ToList;

            db.TutorCommission.Add(newCommission);
            db.SaveChanges();
        }

        return RedirectToAction("Index");
    }

On the ToList line, I am receive the error that it convert convert the method group ToList to a non-delegate type. Here are my relevant model classes:

public class Enrollment
{
    [Key]
    [Display(Name = "Enrollment ID Number")]
    public long EnrollmentIDNumber { get; set; }
    [Display(Name = "Client ID Number")]

    public long TutorNoID { get; set; }

    public virtual Tutor Tutor { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<CommissionPayments> CommissionPayments { get; set; }

}

public class Tutor

    [Key]
    [Display(Name = "Tutor ID Number")]
    public long TutorNoID { get; set; }
    [Required]
    [StringLength(50, ErrorMessage="First name must be less than 50 characters")]

    public string TutorPostalCode { get; set; }
    [Display(Name="Full Name")]
    public string FullName
    {
        get
        {
            return TutorFirstName + " " + TutorLastName;
        }
    }
    [Display(Name="Commission Percentage")]
    [Required]
    public double TutorCommissionPercentage { get; set; }

    public virtual ICollection<Enrollment> Enrollments { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<TutorCommission> TutorCommissions { get; set; }

}

You should be calling ToList () not ToList.

ToList is method not a property. Should be ToList()
