How do you become a Brilliant Club tutor?
How do you become a Brilliant Club tutor?
This is a meaningful, paid opportunity to teach your own research! Ideally, you would first sign up to attend an information session where you will find out more about the programme and how it works, followed by an assessment centre for those wishing to continue to apply to become tutors. The assessment centre is competitive. Candidates are interviewed with a Brilliant Club member of staff, deliver an 8 minute mini-lesson pitched at 14-year old pupils, take part in a group activity and write a written reflections.
If you are accepted onto the programme, you will then attend a training weekend. Alongside core sessions on pedagogy, assessment, course design and professional induction, tutors are also able to attend a range of electives to explore topics such as bringing your doctoral research into a pre-designed programme, creating scientists, engaging pupils through effective feedback and the power of praise.
Why Become a Scholars Programme PhD Tutor?
· Support local pupils from underrepresented backgrounds to access university
· Get expert training and real experience to develop your teaching and other transferable skills
· Earn £500 per placement plus travel expenses
· Disseminate your research to small groups of school pupils
· Join a nationwide community of like-minded researchers making a huge impact on university access
If you are unable to make this information event, the Brilliant Club also offer several webinars for you to find out more about becoming a PhD tutor. To sign up for an information webinar, click here.
Successful applicants are able to select which terms they would like to work as a tutor in and whether they would like to deliver multiple-placements.
Tutors are supported by a training programme consisting of two full-days including sessions on tutorial pedagogy, assessment and designing a course handbook. Each Scholars Programme placement then begins with tutors accompanying their pupils on a university trip, followed by six further tutorials in their school. At the end of the programme pupils submit an assignment which is marked by their tutor.
In 2019-20, The Brilliant Club will work with its 2000th PhD tutor – this could be you!
You can find out more about The Brilliant Club and the tutoring opportunity online. To apply please visit the application form.
If you have any queries please do not hesitate to email The Brilliant Club at apply@thebrilliantclub.org.
