Agency: Piedmont Virginia Community College
Location: Albemarle - 003
FLSA: Nonexempt
Hiring Range: $16.87/hour
Full Time or Part Time: Part Time
Job Description:
Piedmont Virginia Community College (PVCC) is a nonresidential two-year institution of higher education that serves Central Virginia – principally residents of the City of Charlottesville and the counties of Albemarle, Buckingham, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson. PVCC is one of 23 community colleges in Virginia that comprise the Virginia Community College System (VCCS). The scenic PVCC campus is located in Albemarle County, Virginia. Classes are also offered at the PVCC Eugene Giuseppe Center in Stanardsville (Greene County), the PVCC Jefferson School Center in downtown Charlottesville and at high school sites across the region. For more information, please visit: pvcc.edu
Duties and Responsibilities: Tutors work with students to develop their thinking, writing, and reading skills and may also work with students in foreign languages, humanities, and social sciences. Rather than teaching students, tutors collaborate with and model the thinking and processes (such as using course resources, working with others, asking questions, navigating the library, etc.) that can support success in their classes. Tutors work with students one-on-one, in small groups or whole class activities; they document their work and participate in robust professional development (both online and in person), which strengthens their ability to give and receive feedback and to communicate effectively. Tutors also create resources to promote and support student writing at PVCC.
