Tutoring

Occidental College students are skilled in tutoring students in a range of subjects. If you want to list a part-time tutoring position at the Occidental College Career Development Center, please fax the following information to (323) 341-4900 or email to careers@oxy.edu

• age of your child 

• subject area for tutoring 

• hours per week

• pay-rate ($12 - $20 is recommended depending on the difficulty of the subject matter) 

• contact information 

• transportation arrangements if needed

Your listing will be posted for three weeks.  Occidental students know to check part-time employment binder for tutor openings.  The Career Development Center does not match tutors with families.

Please be advised that Occidental College is a residential campus. Students are not on campus during the summer; therefore, it can be more challenging to fill your tutoring needs at this time.  

As a service to you, we have provided information below about our Community Literacy Center which is part of the Department of Education on campus.

Community Literacy Center

The Occidental College Community Literacy Center provides children in grades K-6 with instruction in reading and writing.  The philosophy of the Literacy Center is developmental, with each child progressing at his or her individual pace. Instruction is individualized and targeted to meet each child’s particular needs. 

The Center has provided services to the community since 1963, when it was first established. Its reputation and successes with students have been widely recognized by parents, local teachers and administrators. As a result, openings in the program fill quickly. Contact with the center or early submission of applications is highly recommended.

Children who enroll at Occidental’s Community Literacy Center are matched with a college tutor. Children also use computers and digital technology to enrich reading and writing activities. The literacy program includes a wide range of experiences in reading and writing.

The Literacy Center is open from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the Fall 2002 and Spring 2003 semesters. Classes run from 4:00 to 5:30 and each child attends twice a week. Cost to community $200.00 per semester.

If you would like an application or if you need additional information, please contact literacy@oxy.edu.

Babysitting

If you have a babysitting need, we recommend that you contact Pasadena City College or Glendale Community College.  Occidental College does not offer a Child Development major and few students seek these type of part-time positions.  We appreciate that you have a very important need, and advise you to contact our neighboring colleges to access a larger candidate pool.

Other Needs

If you have an odd job, or a short-term or one-time need, such as yard work, academic research, etc., please contact us at (323) 259-2623.  The Career Development Center will evaluate your need and determine if the position is appropriate for our student population.  The Career Development Center does not list openings for community members who seek companionship.
