Undergraduate Tutor Positions

Title: Undergraduate Tutor for the Mathematics Support Center
Pay: $8.10+ per hour (FWS not required)
Hours: variable

Responsibilities

Undergraduate tutors who work in the Math Support Center conduct one-on-one and small group tutoring sessions and should (at minimum) be able to help students with the material taught in

• Calculus I (MATH 1110),
• Calculus II (MATH 1120),
• Finite Math for the Life and Social Sciences (MATH 1105),
• Calculus for the Life and Social Sciences (MATH 1106).

Applicants with sufficient background to tutor for some of the upper-level math courses are encouraged.

Tutors will be assigned specific hours to work in the Math Support Center each week. They may also work additional hours during busy times of the semester (e.g., right before an exam is held in one of the courses). During quiet times the tutors may help with the development of materials for the center.

All new tutors will be expected to attend a one-hour training session.
