Athletics Tutor
Athlete Academic Affairs in the Division of Athletics at UB is looking for Athletics Tutor candidates who are completing an undergraduate, master’s degree or pursuing a doctorate degree to assist in academic achievement, skill enrichment, and learning strategies with student-athletes for specific classes. The desired candidate will work with academically at-risk student-athletes, who might be first-year students (freshmen/transfer), are struggling learners, have a diagnosed disability, are International, or are high performing students that are looking for extra help in a class.
Objective:
- This position will assist student athletes with a specific class that they may be struggling with, confused on subject matter or need extra assistance to obtain a higher grade.
Responsibilities:
- Mentoring and monitoring and teaching a cohort of student-athletes by:
- Implementing college-level academic skills and learning strategies.
- Implementing personal learning skills to re-teach or review classwork and class materials.
- Exam review, writing preparation, skill building, class review and work.
- Promoting and facilitating academic and personal growth to help students become independent learners.
- Documenting on-going student performance and meeting summaries with up-to-date record keeping through Navigate (UB’s student success portal).
- Building and maintaining thoughtful and professional communication with the Athlete Academic Affairs Staff.
- Working in a supportive and multi-disciplinary environment.
Hours:
- All meetings must take place at the Athlete Academic Affairs Learning Center during business hours (M-Th 8am-9pm, F 8am-4pm, and Sundays 12-6pm).
- The nature of this position is very flexible for both you and your student caseload however, meeting days and times should remain consistent throughout the semester.
- Given that you will be meeting with student-athletes anywhere from 1-3 times each week (based on pre-determined need), the meetings should be spread out throughout the week to ensure academic task completion. For example, meeting with a student 1 hour each day on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday throughout the semester.
**Ideally looking for candidates that can work 7-15 hours/week across multiple days.
