Online STEM and Essay Tutor (Federal Work-Study)

All Remote

- Explaining math and science concepts clearly and patiently to middle and high school students
- Giving specific, encouraging feedback on writing
- Guiding students to their own answers instead of giving answers away
- Clear written communication in a text-based chat
- Reliability: showing up for your scheduled shifts every week

No previous tutoring experience is needed. We provide training and ongoing feedback.

Duties:
- Tutor students one-on-one in UPchieve's virtual classroom, which has a text chat and a shared whiteboard. Using your mic is optional.
- UPchieve is on-demand, so you won't be assigned specific students. During your shift, you'll stay logged in on your dashboard and be matched with students who need help in the subjects you're certified in.
- Help students work through problems step by step so they build their own understanding.
- Review student essays, especially college application essays, and give clear, encouraging feedback.
- Complete UPchieve's tutor training and apply feedback from the UPchieve team.
- Enter your hours in Workday (through MyUW) after each shift. Hours for each pay period are due by 11:59pm the Tuesday after it ends.

What happens after you apply:
1. If you're a fit, you'll receive an offer. Accept it in the Student Jobs portal and complete your Student Information Form.
2. Complete your I-9: you'll get an email from E-Verify+ (check your spam folder). Create your account with the same email the invite was sent to, then book a short I-9 call with UPchieve and bring your original documents.
3. Once your I-9 is cleared, you'll get a UW-Madison sign-up link. Create your UPchieve account, pass your 3 certifications, and choose your shifts.
4. Start tutoring once your schedule is confirmed. Please don't tutor or log any hours before then.

Sitting and typing at a computer for 2-hour shifts.
