The City Tutors (CT) is looking for tutors to provide academic support for an Intermediate Macroeconomics and Intermediate Microeconomics course at the City College of New York (CCNY). The class covers forces determining income, employment, price levels, and interest rates. Emphasis placed on policy problems. Tutors will create videos to supplement material learned in class or from the course readings, and may hold live study group sessions online outside of the class.

This is a great opportunity for students who are majoring (or have already earned a degree) in the course area to enhance their knowledge and experience and who are interested in tutoring. In this role, you would collaborate with an instructor to improve students’ performance while being supported and guided by an experienced academic support professional.

All tutors supporting economics classes are expected to commit a minimum of three hours availability each week to support students having difficulty with the material. You would work with students who are struggling, as well as designing videos or assignments, and create differentiated instruction as the need arises. You will be supported throughout this process by the City Tutors staff. Tutors providing virtual support outside of the class also need to maintain a reliable internet connection in a relatively quiet space for a minimum of 1 hour sessions.

All tutors are also expected to complete a three session comprehensive, professional training regimen. 3 hours of live training, plus another hour and a half for orientation. This is a commitment of 4.5 hours of live training, over the course of the semester.

Training days will be determined based on your schedule and that of the Tutor Trainer's.

CT's tutoring program has been successful in helping students gain access to support that they otherwise would not have received, given their limited time spent on campus. Having a tutor in the class early in the semester will allow us to employ strategies to reduce withdrawals and student failure rates. Your work with us would help the students’ overall subject area performance, and help us improve this educational support model, reaching more students and departments with comprehensive academic support.

To apply, you must:

1. Have received an A- or A in Economics courses
2. Have a GPA at or above 3.2, or have completed a degree program
3. Submit monthly reports, keep a log sheet of any tutoring appointments done outside of class, and regularly communicate with the tutor training coordinator.
