Job Description
TripleTen
All Jobs
Teacher Assistant for Software Engineering Program
- Student's experience
- Caribbean
- Associate
- Full-time
TripleTen is a service that empowers individuals, regardless of their prior experience, to embark on the exciting and challenging journey of mastering tech professions. Our bootcamps focus on training students in software engineering, data science, business intelligence analytics, and QA engineering in a feasible and accessible way, ultimately leading them to thrive in a new career.
Our mission is to ensure that every student has the opportunity to successfully master a new profession, find their purpose, and become a valuable member of the tech industry.
TripleTen is a remote first organization mirroring our students who complete our bootcamps in a remote environment.
Please note that for this position you need to have completed our Software Engineering program. Your fitness for this position will be evaluated based on the feedback of your Tutors, Student Success Managers and other Tutor Assistants.
Our Tutor Assistants act as senior peers to the students on Software Engineering program . Tutor Assistants help new students—who just started one of the programs without any previous experience in tech—go through the beginner material and the first few sprints. The primary goal is to guide, support and motivate new students to the point where they feel confident with the material.
Together with other team members, you will be communicating with students on a daily basis, mostly through video calls (group and individual) and direct messages.
You will need to help students with very different requests. Questions will range from navigating the platform and software tools (GitHub, VS Code, Figma) to writing code, starting to work on a project, completing simple platform tasks. You’ll be able to share your own lifehacks, learning and work experience during these conversations.
What you will do
- Host weekly group coworking sessions. Most often, this is just a voice/video chat on Discord that helps students (usually new ones) with all sorts of questions. This is also a space for informal communication and some small questions with quicker responses, which just needs a bit of moderation;
- Conduct and plan 1-1 video sessions with individual students. At these meetings, you will have to explain the material by voice, help students solve some complex tasks and prepare the project;
- Communicate with students on Discord in text messages, either by answering their questions or proactively reaching out to particular students based on the support team’s and success manager’s requests. It may be necessary to maintain contact with certain students on a regular basis.
- Ability to be online and available 5 days a week (Mon–Fri) between 2pm and 11pm EST, for 8 hours per day (exact schedule to be confirmed during the interview), including hosting Zoom meetings and being present in online sessions to support students and answer questions.
