The Sanger Learning Center is hiring student educators for next spring, and we would love for you to share far and wide with your advisees. Applications for most positions are due November 6.

We are hiring for Tutors (all areas, but especially PHY, ECO, Math, languages, and ACC/FIN), Supplemental Instruction (SI) leaders, and Peer-Led Undergraduate Study (PLUS) Coordinators. All positions start at $14/hour.

We love motivated students, but interested applicants need not have a flawless academic record—great student educators tend to be those who can communicate well, manage their time, empathize with peers, and recognize that all learning is a process. We encourage students from all majors and backgrounds to apply.

Both advisors and interested students may contact carissa.abrego@austin.utexas.edu with any questions. Thanks!
