College Algebra Tutor - Denton TX (UNT Area)

Job Description

Job Description

About the Role:

SiSTEM is hiring an experienced college algebra tutor to work with students in Denton, with a focus on the UNT campus and surrounding area.

This is not a volume tutoring gig. SiSTEM tutors work as trusted academic partners with students who need to pass, and pass well. College algebra is a gatekeeper course. A grade of C or better in MATH 1100 is required before it counts as a prerequisite for other math courses, and a lot of degree plans stall right there. Your job is to make sure that does not happen.

If college algebra is your strongest subject, SiSTEM wants to hear from you.

Core college algebra topics, including:

• Functions, function notation, domain and range, and transformations.
• Linear and quadratic equations, inequalities, and applications.
• Polynomial and rational functions, including graphing and asymptotic behavior.
• Exponential and logarithmic functions and equations.
• Systems of equations and inequalities.
• Complex numbers, radicals, and rational exponents.
• Sequences, series, and conic sections where the course includes them.
• Algebra review and skill gap repair for students who placed into the course underprepared.
  

Related work that comes up often:

• ALEKS and MyMathLab homework support, including how to work problems on paper instead of guessing through attempts.
• Exam prep and test-taking strategy for in-class exams and finals.
• TSI Math for students who need to clear placement.
• Dual credit college algebra for high school students taking the course early.

Students taking college algebra at UNT and at Denton-area campuses, plus high school students taking the course for dual credit. Most are motivated and under real time pressure. They are not looking for a homework service. They are looking for someone who can make the material make sense before the next exam.

SiSTEM is an academic guidance platform that builds personalized roadmaps for students. Every student on SiSTEM has a plan. Tutors are a key part of that plan and are matched to students based on specific needs, not random availability.

SiSTEM started as a tutoring agency in Texas, grew to 300+ tutors serving 10,000+ students, and is now launching a platform that gives educators better tools, better-matched students, and the ability to build a real client base.

• Work one-on-one with students on college algebra at their current level.
• Build conceptual understanding, not just completed assignments.
• Identify and close the foundational algebra gaps that are causing students to struggle in the course.
• Prepare students for graded exams, quizzes, and placement tests.
• Align sessions with each student's broader academic roadmap through SiSTEM's planning tools.
• Communicate on progress and strategy when appropriate.
• Maintain high standards of preparation and professionalism.

SiSTEM is selective about who joins the team. Strong candidates typically have:

• 3+ years of teaching, tutoring, or academic mentoring experience in math.
• Deep expertise in college algebra and the pre-calculus level material around it.
• Experience with college students, adult learners, or dual credit students, not only younger students.
• A track record of helping students raise grades and pass required courses.
• Familiarity with ALEKS, MyMathLab, or similar platforms.
• Clear, patient communication and the ability to make algebra click for students who think they are "not a math person."
• Professional reliability.

Bonus: current or former college math instructors, graduate students or TAs in math or a STEM field, former UNT Math Lab or Learning Center tutors, engineers and STEM professionals who tutor, and educators with degrees in mathematics or math education.

• You set your own rates, and you keep 100% of what you earn.
• Matched with students who fit your expertise. No random assignments. Students are matched to you based on subject, level, learning needs, and your teaching strengths.
• Bring your current students with you. Already have clients? Add them to the platform for free and manage them alongside new students at no extra cost.
• Families and students are already invested. SiSTEM students are paying for a plan. They are engaged, responsive, and serious about their results.
• SiSTEM handles the marketing. You do not have to find clients.
• Tools to manage your business. Scheduling, session tracking, and student relationship tools are built into the platform.
• Build a long-term client base. Students on SiSTEM stay for years, not weeks.
