ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

This role reports to Learning Strategist or Learning Centre Coordinator

SUMMARY

Tutors receive three levels of training. Principle duties include tutoring KPU students to help them become more effective learners. Tutors achieve this by asking questions about the student's understanding of the subject area, making suggestions about how to study or a method of approaching a problem, modelling appropriate learning strategies, and by referring the student to learning resources or other services within or outside the university. Peer Tutors are not expected to teach coursework. They are not expected to be substitutes for teachers and they are definitely not allowed to do the student's work or assignments. Peer tutors are current KPU students helping other students to learn.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • To tutor KPU students in specific subject areas after completing appropriate training
  • To help KPU students to understand main course concepts, how to follow assignment structures, and how to improve their performance in their coursework
  • To provide feedback on students' assignments and to provide students with ways to improve their work
  • To help students to identify and find the assistance they need
  • To assist with transition, orientation and retention programs
  • To assist with the promotion of Learning Centre services and programs

QUALIFICATIONS

Personal Profile

  • Confident in their knowledge of a specific subject(s)
  • Patient and willing to tailor their explanation of key concepts to a variety of students
  • Friendly and welcoming of all students
  • Punctual, focused, and hard-working

Experience

  • Be registered as a KPU student
  • Maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 and have completed at least 24 credit hours
  • Provide references from two KPU instructors who would support your application

Knowledge

  • Can identify ways in which to learn subject matter effectively
  • Can identify errors in students' understanding of key course concepts
  • Has a clear understanding of the key concepts and skills in the courses and subject areas that they wish to tutor in

Location

KPU has four learning centers, which are located on the Surrey, Langley, Richmond, and Cloverdale campuses. Tutors can choose which campus they would like to tutor at; however, different tutors are needed at different campuses depending on the subject that they tutor in. Tutors will also be eligible to tutor online.

Documents Required

  • Resume
  • Unofficial Transcript
  • Course Schedule for the Spring Semester.
  • Salary Information

Student Assistants are paid as per the following:

Less than one year of post-secondary (less than 30 credits) – BC Minimum Wage

One year of post-secondary (30-60 credits) – BC Minimum Wage plus 8%

With a post-secondary diploma or degree – BC Minimum Wage plus 21%
