Tutor Center Specialist @Cuyamaca College

El Cajon, CA, US

As the Tutoring Center Specialist for the STEM Achievement Center I develop and implement policies and procedures for the effective operation of tutoring and learning assistance services. I actively assist in planning my center\'s federal, state, and district budgets, while monitoring expenditures. I have the privilege to recruit, hire, develop, and recommend the discontinuation of team members, short term and/or student workers. Additionally, I am responsible for the training, evaluation, review, and oversight of their daily activities. With the successful preparation and engineering of the center’s work schedule I ensure tutorial coverage that best accommodates the needs of students across multiple STEM disciplines. I utilize planned and coordinated staff meetings, to review and revise office procedures and etiquette as necessary. Under the direction of the Learning Assistance Director I assist in the development and coordination of on-going training programs for team members, including workshops on special topics given by campus faculty and Student Services. I provide consistent communication with faculty and various department personnel, including a multitude of funding resources on campus, in the assessment and provision of student needs, and I coordinate these needs and classes assisted by team members. I routinely collect department data to assess the success and improvement of my center’s services, such as hours of tutoring, tutorial roster, student success and subjects tutored.
