About The Position

We are looking to recruit an Online Tutor to join our BA (Hons) Game Development (Online) team in the Games Academy. As an Online Tutor on the BA (Hons) Game Development (Online) you will support Game Tools and Technology. Module content centres primarily on contemporary game development workflows within a game engine, exploring how programming, art, audio, narrative and animation integrate throughout the production pipeline. The module also introduces industry standard tools and practices, including version control and collaborative development workflows. Online Tutors are vital to the success and vibrancy of our online courses. They are a constant presence in the module, the first point of contact for students’ academic enquiries and supporting their learning activities. As the Online Tutor you will deliver live sessions such as webinars, workshops or tutorials each week to a cohort of students. Around these live sessions you will be responsible for topic discussions, and academic guidance via emails, one to ones and an online learning space. You will work closely with the course leader and module leaders to ensure best possible student experience. The hours for this role are flexible and spread throughout the week as agreed by your line manager. The flexibility of this role means that you can fit the hours around existing responsibilities. The role compliments individuals who have freelance careers or other teaching commitments. Each online tutor is responsible for no more than 30 students, making this an extremely rewarding role. The Online Tutor for this module will be allocated 112 hours to support up to 30 students with learning, assessment and feedback, working in Study Block 1, from September 2026 to January 2027.
