Athletics Tutor
Athlete Academic Affairs in the Division of Athletics at UB is looking for 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. The desired candidate will work with 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 support 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:
● Tutoring student-athletes by:
o Implementing college-level academic skills and learning strategies.
o Implementing personal learning skills to re-teach or review classwork and class materials.
o Exam/quiz preparation and review.
o 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.
● Ability to work in a diverse and welcoming environment.
Hours:
● All meetings must take place at the Athlete Academic Affairs Learning Center during business hours
(M-Th 8:30am-8pm, 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
predetermined 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.
