Tutor, Embedded Academic Success - Prescott

Yavapai College • Prescott, AZ

10d

About The Position

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

This is a grant-funded position; continuation is subject to funding. Tutors are hired at one of three levels based on course and department needs. Level 2 tutors primarily provide drop-in tutoring, with some 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 Canvas and are also available for appointments by Zoom or in person. Level 3B tutors provide both 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. Subject areas needed include English (writing), Math, and Biology.

Pay rates are $16 per hour for tutors with an associate degree or lower; $18 per hour for those with an associate degree or lower who are fluent in Spanish; $18 per hour for tutors with a bachelor's degree or higher; $20 per hour for those with a bachelor's degree or higher who are fluent in Spanish; $22 per hour for tutors qualified to support upper-division bachelor's courses (300-level and above); and $24 per hour for those qualified to support those courses who are fluent in Spanish.

All tutors must complete CRLA Level 1 tutor certification through Yavapai College's Tutoring Services during onboarding and ongoing employment, unless they have already completed CRLA Level 1 elsewhere. Regular attendance as scheduled is an essential job function. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
