Job Description:

Subject-area tutors provide assistance to UVM undergraduates in different ways. ‘Flexible scheduling’ tutors work with students directly to set-up appointments around campus while Tutoring Center based tutors hold regularly scheduled hours via our scheduling system. Tutors meet either one-on-one or in groups, reviewing course-specific material and learning strategies.

Tutoring sessions are typically an hour in length, and tutors are expected to work no more than 10 hours each week, though the hours are incredibly flexible. Hours are often split between scheduled time, and more variable appointments made by request with students.

We hire on a rolling basis, so if at any time throughout the school year you are motivated to share your expertise, you can apply at any time!

Qualifications:

All undergraduate students are encouraged to apply beginning their second-year until their final semester as a senior. Tutors are required to have completed the course(s) they wish to tutor, having earned a grade of B+ or better and will be required to obtain a faculty recommendation completed by their professor for each course they wish to tutor. The recommendation is not necessary for application, but must be submitted prior to starting work. Upon hire, tutors must also attend training before they can begin work in the Tutoring Center.

Compensation:

$13.93 per hour to start; with raises available with experience.

Job Description:

Supplemental instruction is a program instituted at universities nationwide. SI is offered in those classes that have high rates of enrollment and high rates of D's, F's, or withdrawals, predominantly in the sciences and social sciences.

The program assists students by offering opportunities for an increased level of engagement with course material. SI leaders attend lecture and take notes along with students, then prepare two, hour-long review sessions each week that focus on key skills and concepts presented. SI leaders incorporate valuable study skills, techniques, or strategies within practical applications of the course material.

Leading supplemental instruction requires a substantial time commitment and dedication. SI leaders are expected to:

• Attend the Tutoring Center's study skills training
• Attend all class meetings of selected course
• Act as a model student
• Schedule and conduct two, 50-minute study sessions each week
• Hold office hours each week
• Prepare materials and plan each session
• Make in-class announcements and distribute surveys, as needed
• Collect and submit contact data for ALL SI sessions
• Maintain close contact with students, professors, and supervisors

Qualifications:

Supplemental instruction leaders work within the peer-tutoring model embraced by the Tutoring Center. As students, they have taken the course for which they are leading SI (or an appropriate equivalent) and received a minimum grade of a B+. In addition, each leader must receive a recommendation by the faculty in the department ensuring their knowledge of the material. Often, SI Leaders have previously worked and continue to work as Subject-Area tutors in this discipline with the Tutoring Center.

Compensation:

$13.93 per hour to start; with raises available with experience.
