Tutor, Embedded Academic Success - Verde

Yavapai College • Clarkdale, AZ

About The Position

Embedded Tutors provide academic support to Yavapai College students by connecting tutoring directly to the courses students are enrolled in. In partnership with faculty, they support students in Canvas, in the classroom, or both, depending on their assigned level. Tutors also meet with students by appointment, over Zoom or in person. They help students build confidence, strengthen their understanding of course content, and develop effective study strategies and learning habits.

Tutors are hired into one of three levels based on course and department needs. Level 2 tutors primarily provide drop-in tutoring, with some online involvement in the course Canvas page, and do not attend class; they may be based at Prescott or Prescott Valley. Level 3A tutors primarily support students online through the course Canvas page and are also available for appointments by Zoom or in person. Level 3B tutors provide in-person and online support, attend one to two class sessions per week, support students in Canvas, and are available for appointments by Zoom or in person, with some drop-in hours depending on department need.

This is a grant-funded position, and continuation is subject to funding. Tutors must complete CRLA Level 1 tutor certification through Yavapai College Tutoring Services during onboarding and ongoing employment unless they have already completed that certification elsewhere. Pay ranges from $16 to $24 per hour based on degree, Spanish fluency, and qualifications to support upper-division bachelor's courses.
