Access Skills Centre Tutor

Opportunities exist for Postgraduate students to work as a tutor to undergraduate students who are registered with the Mature Student Office, Disability Support Services, or UCC PLUS+ (Access & Participation services). These tutoring sessions involve working one-to-one with undergraduate students or with very small groups in an in-person or online capacity. 

Please note that while this is a paid position, Access Skills tutorials take place on a by-request basis. Therefore, we will only be in touch when a tutorial has been requested that is relevant to your experience. It is therefore an excellent opportunity for those looking to gain experience in tutoring, who are passionate about helping students, and are happy to take on additional occasional hour teaching. 

If you have any questions, we would be delighted to speak with you. Please email accessskillscentre@ucc.ie
