Temp, PT American Sign Language Tutor

Overview

The tutor is primarily responsible for encouraging self-directed learning and development in each student. To do this, a tutor assists students with their coursework. This may require the tutor to help clarify a concept or give a clear explanation of an assignment. The tutor is not expected to know how to answer every possible question, but rather to work to ensure that the student develops a firm foundation to take learning to the next level.

ASL tutors are asked to visit classes at the start of each semester to introduce themselves and make students aware of tutoring resources. They may also be asked to attend ASL club meetings or other college events to promote tutoring services. Additional tasks may also be assigned by the director.

• Fluency in ASL is required.
• Degreed tutors (Bachelor’s to master’s) must present a list of references.
• The ability to relate well to people, to self-start and to adjust easily to a variety of learning styles is beneficial.
• Tutors must also be willing to submit to a background check.
