RCC seeks applicants for our Embedded Tutor opening. This is a part-time position without benefits working approximately 15 hours/week at a pay rate of $15 per hour.
Under the direction of the Coordinator of Learning Resources, the Embedded Tutor provides in-person and virtual tutoring services for designated course sections to support student success. Embedded within the classroom, this tutor provides accurate explanations and examples to clarify course concepts. The incumbent uses a variety of auditory, visual, and interactive approaches to support student learning. Examples of tutoring assistance include using a whiteboard to review the solution to a difficult math problem, discussing study guide questions, and adding comments to a shared document.

The Embedded Tutor comes prepared to all course sessions and meets with the Coordinator of Learning Resources to review performance and receive feedback for improvement.
