LEARNING ASSISTANTS:
All learning assistants share an enthusiasm for mathematics.
Each quarter, around 20
learning assistants serve in the Math Learning Center. Most assistants work
between 5 and 15 hours a week. Some of these learning assistants are
volunteers, and others work for a salary on an hourly basis or as work-study
employees. Some of the learning assistants have college degrees in
mathematics or related subjects while others are students at Shoreline Community College or
nearby universities. Most of the hiring takes place before the start of
classes in September, but a few additional employees are added throughout
the year. Most learning assistants have completed Math 151
or Math 211 with grades
of 3.5 or better.
DESK ASSISTANTS:
All desk assistants are friendly and helpful to students in the MLC.
The desk assistant is not required (although it is preferred) to
have any knowledge of mathematics, or know how to explain any mathematics.
They need to be able to deal with many people quickly and professionally.
Answering phones, checking books in and out, handing out tests, and
assisting students are also parts of the job. Almost every desk
assistant is a work-study student. (If you are a work-study student
looking for part-time work, stop by and speak to the director about a possible job) If you are not work-study,
and you are looking for a part-time job and have had experience with customer
service or as a receptionist, come talk to the director. Occasionally, some
students who are not work-study can work as desk assistants if there is great
demand for them.
If you are currently a Learning
Assistant or Desk Assistant, and you are looking for the schedule,
please
email or
call (206-633-6627) the Director.
