  • Help students improve their reading proficiency by sharing reading and vocabulary-building resources and strategies
  • Prepare for tutorials by selecting materials and approaches suitable for students' needs
  • Lead tutorials that are student-centered, supportive, and consistent with ITC policies
  • Keep thorough and organized reports of tutorials
  • Contribute to ITC pedagogical materials and projects as needed
  • Communicate reliably with ITC staff via email
  • Attend monthly staff meetings




Minimum Qualifications:

  • At least two years of experience teaching or tutoring English at the post-secondary level
  • Experience working with second-language learners and sensitivity to their distinct needs
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in a related field (TESOL, linguistics, English, speech pathology, etc.)
  • Strong written and oral English language skills; non-native English speakers are encouraged to apply




Preferred Qualifications:

  • Master's degree or higher in a related field




Details:
