Math/Business/Science Tutor at TASC - Spring 2027

Tutors at the Tutoring & Academic Support Center (TASC) are upper division and graduate SFSU students who are passionate about working with students to help them learn and develop the math, science, quantitative business, computing, and academic study skills across all majors. Tutors provide support in one-on-one appointments and drop-in sessions to help students at all levels achieve their academic goals.

In addition to providing academic support, tutors serve as peer educators and campus leaders who develop transferable professional skills aligned with the NACE Career Competencies. Through tutoring, training, collaboration, and reflective practice, tutors strengthen competencies in communication, teamwork, critical thinking, professionalism, equity and inclusion, leadership, and career and self-development. These align with the NACE Career Competencies that are considered highly desirable in professional settings (and often cannot be replaced by AI). 

New tutors at TASC are supported with two hours of paid ongoing training every week in their first semester. The training, run by TASC faculty, is held every Wednesday afternoon sometime between 12-4pm (we will work to find a time block when all new tutors are available). The mandatory trainings are helpful and supportive, and they begin the first week of classes. All tutors participate in an all-staff workshop held the Friday before the semester starts. New tutors start working with students within the first month after required training. Both work study and non-work study positions are available.

Once you work at TASC for more than one semester, you might also serve as an embedded tutor for a class; work on campaigns to help support students at risk; facilitate group sessions; create and run workshops; as well as other tasks to expand services and awareness of TASC resources.

You can also apply to be a student project lead, working collaboratively with other leads and TASC faculty and staff on projects that support SF State students, tutors, and instructors, upholding the center’s vision of creating equitable and welcoming environments so that everyone can learn.  

We will review applications and schedule interviews on a rolling basis. We may stop taking applications early if positions get filled, and/or reopen this post as needed. Apply now for early consideration!  

All new tutors will begin working at the start of the next semester following their interview (not mid-semester).
