What does this job entail?
PPLE is looking for a tutor with an interdisciplinary background who is willing to contribute to the PPLE community and to become an academic mentor. The ideal candidate can teach multiple tutorial classes, both interdisciplinary and Major specific. PPLE is a small scale, interdisciplinary bachelor's programme. Class sizes of the tutorials are around 15 students and student attendance is mandatory. By working together, students learn how to understand and apply course material as well as sharpen their writing, critical thinking and communication skills. Tutorials therefore require an active involvement of each student.

PPLE College actively promotes students’ personal development and academic competencies. You may also perform tasks in the area of student mentoring for a group of around 15 students. PPLE College uses a mentor system to help students with their academic progress and offer guidance throughout their degree. PPLE College follows the UvA’s 8-8-4 schedule or ‘block’ system. In the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th block, students take two courses consecutively. Per course they have 2x2 hours of lectures and 2x2 hours of tutorials per week. During blocks 3 (January) and 6 (June) students take a 4-week course.
