💡 Please note that for this position you need to have completed our Software Engineering program. Your fitness for this position will be evaluated based on the feedback of your Tutors, Student Success Managers and other Tutor Assistants.

Our Tutor Assistants act as senior peers to the students on Software Engineering program. Tutor Assistants help new students—who just started one of the programs without any previous experience in tech—go through the beginner material and the first few sprints. The primary goal is to guide, support and motivate new students to the point where they feel confident with the material.

Together with other team members, you will be communicating with students on a daily basis, mostly through video calls (group and individual) and direct messages.

You will need to help students with very different requests. Questions will range from navigating the platform and software tools (GitHub, VS Code, Figma) to writing code, starting to work on a project, completing simple platform tasks. You’ll be able to share your own lifehacks, learning and work experience during these conversations.

What you will do

• Host weekly group coworking sessions. Most often, this is just a voice/video chat on Discord that helps students (usually new ones) with all sorts of questions. This is also a space for informal communication and some small questions with quicker responses, which just needs a bit of moderation;
• Conduct and plan 1-1 video sessions with individual students. At these meetings, you will have to explain the material by voice, help students solve some complex tasks and prepare the project;
• Communicate with students on Discord in text messages, either by answering their questions or proactively reaching out to particular students based on the support team’s and success manager’s requests. It may be necessary to maintain contact with certain students on a regular basis.

Requirements

• Ability to be online and available 5 days a week (Mon–Fri) between 2pm and 11pm EST, for 8 hours per day (exact schedule to be confirmed during the interview), including hosting Zoom meetings and being present in online sessions to support students and answer questions.
• You possess a good level of spoken and written English — our students are Americans, many of our team members are natives, so it’s necessary to have a good level of English
• You are careful with communication, can structure your thoughts, provide constructive feedback in an empathetic way, and love helping people
• You have 1+ years of the experience in Software Engineering
• You are skilled in in HTML, CSS, vanilla Javascript, React, Node + Express

What we can offer you

• Pay rate of $25 per hour;
• Remote, part-time work (from 5 to 20 hours per week depending on your desire);
• A schedule that’s convenient for you, there isn’t a focus on micromanaging;
• Free in-house training on how to be a great mentor and role model for students, choose the appropriate tone of voice when communicating with students, improve soft skills;
• Opportunities to develop as a public expert;
• Cross-cultural work experience and lots of opportunities for networking with teammates who love what they do.

We're excited to get to know you and work together ?
