The next evolution from working as a undergrate teaching assistant for Clemson's General Engineering was working as a Graduate Assistant to the department. As a GA, I had a few primary roles: administration, reporting, and UTA coordination. - I would take care of any odd jobs or organization the ~16 professors in the department might need, from grading, to classroom tech upgrades, to inventory of lab materials. - I was also in charge of tracking and reporting attendance and other records for all students in the department. To facilitate this, rather than doing things by hand, I used my expertise in MATLAB and Excel to automate much of the work. I also made sure to fully comment and documented my scripts so that my successors in the position could use them.- I coordinated and monitored the Undergraduate Teaching Assistant program of ~45 tutors, helping to coordinate shifts, absences evening hours, and any questions or conflicts. Finally, in a less-common role for a GA, I was trusted in a few cases to fill in as a substitute for professors that had conflicts. After my time tutoring, I was thrilled with the opportunity and really enjoyed working in this capacity.

Greenville, South Carolina Area

I worked part-time as a KAPLAN teacher, in charge of running standardized exam prep classes of ~5-15 students and instructing them in the KAPLAN methods for a particular exam (SAT/ACT). Classes were 3 hours long and were extremely interactive and engaging; using provided materials, I would prepare an outline and class notes with exercises and talking points. Presentation and teaching skills were absolutely essential.

For most of my undergraduate degree, I worked Clemson's General Engineering tutoring program. An Undergraduate Teaching Assistant (or UTA) was responsible for helping the teacher in a general engineering classroom and making the class run smoothly. Responsibilities varied from teacher to teacher, but for the most part, I functioned as part tutor and part aide, answering questions and passing out materials as needed. In addition, UTAs would (in groups) hold "office hours" open tutoring sessions several nights a week without teachers present. Luckily for my development, General Engineering also held training sessions and seminars to improve teaching and personal skills.This was position was incredibly valuable for me, as I discovered a love of teaching and tutoring I wouldn't have otherwise. I went on to tutor privately, as well, for the remainder of my time in school.
