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.

Working in a supportive and multi-disciplinary environment.
Hours:
