Position Title STEM Center - Tutor - Major: SPRT/PT/AES

Division Library

Department Provost & Student Experience (AA)

Location

Erie, Pa

Position Summary Believe in your own knowledge and perseverance, and the amazing potential of Gannon students. Lead Gannon students to conquer their academic hurdles, both small and large. Unleash your love for your major and your favorite courses. Enjoy making a deep impact on a very flexible schedule. Key responsibilities and highlights include tutoring peers in STEM subject material they are qualified to cover, and may seek or perform other necessary STEM Center work with approval. Some initial and ongoing paid training is likely to be required. The position will have one regular paid guaranteed shift per week (likely 3 hours, in the late afternoon and early evening such as 4-7 PM on a Sunday-Thursday). During this shift, duties include tutoring, preparation/training, other tasks to support the STEM Center and stakeholders, or other work to benefit the University. Additional on-call tutoring availability within library hours of operation is needed (paid for actual tutoring appointments only; up to about 3 additional hours if holding appointments, more may be possible but cannot be guaranteed). There will basically be one such tutor per major (one per set of similar majors) for each area traditionally served by the STEM Center.

Career Readiness Learning Objectives:

• Critical Thinking/Problem Solving: A STEM tutor develops critical thinking and problem-solving skills by breaking down complex concepts for students, identifying gaps in understanding, and helping them develop strategies to solve problems.
• Oral/Written Communication: STEM tutors must clearly explain complex ideas and concepts to students during tutoring sessions and in interactions with coworkers and STEM Center management. They may be required to speak to classes, reach out to students, and represent the STEM Center at functions or events. They may also need to send emails, make phone calls, or initiate other communication on behalf of the STEM Center.
• Teamwork/Collaboration: STEM tutors can facilitate or assist with group study sessions and participate in other projects or initiatives to support the STEM Center.
• Digital Technology: Tutors may create online resources, utilize software or apps to visualize concepts, and must use scheduling systems, MS Teams, and other software to perform essential functions of the job.
• Leadership: Tutors have regular opportunities to thrive in changing environments, address complex problems, and navigate ambiguity.
• Professionalism/Work Ethic: By being punctual, prepared, and professional in interactions with students, tutors demonstrate a strong work ethic and must adhere to ethical guidelines and respect student confidentiality.
• Career Management: The STEM Center is a cocurricular opportunity to develop and showcase the ability to teach or train others. Tutoring course material often builds additional competencies in these areas.
• Global/Intercultural Fluency: Tutors have opportunities to work with a diverse slate of students, learning, understanding, and adapting to academic and nonacademic facets of culture and communication.
