Tutors may be asked to do small projects around the Baker Center when not busy with a tutee.
Student tutors may also have the opportunity to serve as a classroom assistant in certain classes.
Job Requirements:
Peer tutors should have content knowledge and a patient, encouraging personality. They should be willing to help students figure out how they learn best and to try different strategies for helping the student learn the material. Also, they should be recommended by a TC3 faculty member.
Peer tutors may be asked to complete an evaluation of their math skills and to keep brushing up as the semester goes along.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
