Position Announcement

The Learning Center’s Peer Tutoring program supports students in more than 100 undergraduate courses through appointment-based peer tutoring. Tutors enroll in EDUC 387-Peer Tutoring, in which they learn about effective tutoring and learning strategies.

The Peer Tutoring Graduate Assistant (PTGA) will work with the Peer Tutoring Specialist to teach EDUC 387, grade written assignments, supervise tutors, and manage the peer tutoring program.

The Peer Tutoring Graduate Assistant will work for 15-20 fixed, consistent hours per week. These hours must include 2 weeknight evenings: Mondays and Tuesdays 5:00-8:00pm. The dates for this position are August 12, 2024-May 9, 2025, including a mandatory training the week before the Fall semester begins.

Applicants should have experience teaching or TA-ing, the ability to learn quickly and work independently, and strong organization and communication skills. A background in education is a plus, but graduate students from all backgrounds are welcome to apply. We value having a diverse staff and welcome applications from people of every race, color, gender, national origin, age, religion, creed, disability, veteran’s status, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. Selection will occur through a formal application and interview process.

Applications are due Monday, March 18.
