Position Summary

CTL Student Learning Assistance is a program available to UNM students enrolled in undergraduate classes. The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL, formerly CAPS) is looking to hire new tutors to support Math and Science classes in our drop‑in center starting in Fall 2026. CTL’s mission is to make learning more accessible for everyone on UNM’s campus by providing services that meet the needs of all Lobos.

As a tutor, you will support your fellow Lobos while developing your own content mastery and tutoring skills. Each semester, CTL tutors earn accreditation through the nationally recognized College Reading and Learning Association.

We seek students who have done well in their classes and are excited about helping peers. Prior tutoring experience is appreciated but not required. Applicants should have received a B+ or higher in the classes they wish to tutor, though a B or lower is acceptable if the applicant has demonstrated significant growth in higher‑level courses.

Preference will be given to students with work study, but all students can be hired by CTL. CTL is especially interested in hiring students who can tutor STEM subjects in Spanish.
