Tutoring Center Peer Leader Position Application Information
What Tutoring Center peer leader positions are available?

Supplemental Instruction (SI) Leader (hiring for various courses): Supplemental Instruction targets historically difficult courses and places an SI leader, an upperclass student leader who previously earned an A- or above and went through a rigorous application and training program, in the class. The SI leader attends all class sessions and holds scheduled weekly SI sessions (3 50-minute sessions per week) to assist students with understanding what to learn and how to learn it based off of the professor’s lectures. A typical SI session might have an SI Leader facilitating peer-to-peer collaborative learning activities to deepen understanding and application of course concepts, as well as giving students an opportunity to ask the SI leader and their peers questions about the material all while strengthening study strategies. This position is typically 8-9 hours per week.

Group Peer Tutoring and One-on-One Peer Tutoring (hiring for various courses): The difference between Supplemental Instruction and peer tutoring is that the student brings their questions to the peer tutor, and in contrast to SI, the peer tutor traditionally does not prepare various activities or problems on course content for attendees in their sessions. Peer tutors also do not attend class with the students. The ideal candidate for serving as a peer tutor is a student who is very knowledgeable about the subject they are tutoring, can tutor multiple courses in a given subject, and can assist students in leading them to the right answer without directly giving them the answer. Often times tutoring is for special populations, such as Student Accessibility Center students (formerly known as Services for Students with Disabilities), ACE, or Athletes. This position is typically 5-8 hours per week.

Language Tutoring (hiring for various courses): In collaboration with the Language Learning Resource Center (LLRC), there are opportunities for students to apply for a Language Tutoring position. Tutoring sessions are held at the LLRC for various languages including Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, and Spanish. It is expected that the tutor’s language courses (at least one) have been taken at Loyola and are at the 250 or above level plus a 300 level course. Language Tutors must have a recommendation from a full-time professor or a section head in the language they wish to tutor. This position is typically 4-8 hours per week.
