College Algebra Tutor - Denton TX (UNT Area)

About The Position

SiSTEM is hiring an experienced college algebra tutor to work with students in Denton, with a focus on the UNT campus and surrounding area. This is not a volume tutoring gig. SiSTEM tutors work as trusted academic partners with students who need to pass, and pass well. College algebra is a gatekeeper course. A grade of C or better in MATH 1100 is required before it counts as a prerequisite for other math courses, and a lot of degree plans stall right there. Your job is to make sure that does not happen. If college algebra is your strongest subject, SiSTEM wants to hear from you.

Core college algebra topics, including: Functions, function notation, domain and range, and transformations. Linear and quadratic equations, inequalities, and applications. Polynomial and rational functions, including graphing and asymptotic behavior. Exponential and logarithmic functions and equations. Systems of equations and inequalities. Complex numbers, radicals, and rational exponents. Sequences, series, and conic sections where the course includes them. Algebra review and skill gap repair for students who placed into the course underprepared.

Related work that comes up often: ALEKS and MyMathLab homework support, including how to work problems on paper instead of guessing through attempts. Exam prep and test-taking strategy for in-class exams and finals. TSI Math for students who need to clear placement. Dual credit college algebra for high school students taking the course early.

Students taking college algebra at UNT and at Denton-area campuses, plus high school students taking the course for dual credit. Most are motivated and under real time pressure. They are not looking for a homework service. They are looking for someone who can make the material make sense before the next exam.
