Position Summary
Kellogg Community College is seeking an Instructional Assistant (part-time) who is passionate about helping students thrive academically! In this role, you will provide subject-specific tutoring and personalized academic support within the Center for Student Success (CSS), empowering learners to deepen their understanding of course concepts, strengthen study strategies, and make meaningful progress toward their educational goals.

Unlike full-time Instructional Assistants, this position focuses exclusively on high-impact tutoring during scheduled hours, without broader program coordination responsibilities. You'll be part of a collaborative, student-centered environment dedicated to fostering academic achievement, persistence, and a culture of learning across the College.

We have immediate openings in following disciplines:

• Anatomy and Physiology
• Business, Accounting, Economics, and Business Application Systems (formerly Office Information and Technology)
  
  

KCC Equity Statement
At Kellogg Community College, we are committed to creating an inclusive environment where we foster respect for others and our differences, support cultural understanding, demonstrate ethical behavior and champion social justice. We will accomplish this by:

• Deepening our understanding of diversity, equity and inclusion through learning, engagement with others and personal reflection;
• Valuing the lived experiences and perspectives of others while nurturing and understanding the differences between us;
• Rejecting all forms of prejudice, discrimination and racism; and
• Advancing integrity, justice and civility among and between us.

Physical Demands
The job responsibilities are performed in tutoring and academic support environments with moderate noise and foot traffic. Travel by car required. The job has intermittent periods during which continuous physical exertion is required, such as walking, standing, sitting, stooping, bending, climbing, lifting material or equipment, some of which may be heavy or awkward (8 - 45 pounds). Typically requires regular use of one or more physical senses of medium intensity and long duration. Must meet reasonable deadlines, quotas or demands for accuracy, and may be involved in some mildly unpleasant situations.

Minimum Qualifications

• Associate's degree or equivalent combination of education and successful coursework in the subject area(s) tutored.
• Demonstrated proficiency in the academic discipline(s) the individual will tutor.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to explain concepts clearly and adapt to varied learning styles.
• Ability to use basic educational technology and computer applications such as Microsoft Office, LMS platforms, and online learning tools.
• Dependable, punctual, and detail-oriented with the ability to maintain accurate records.
• Commitment to fostering equity, inclusion, and student success.
• Ability to uphold student privacy and follow FERPA guidelines.
  
  

Preferred but not Required

• Bachelor's degree in the subject area or related field.
• One year of tutoring, teaching, or other academic support experience in a higher education or similar setting.
• Familiarity with community college student needs and barriers to success.
• Experience using tutoring or academic support software, online scheduling tools, or learning management systems.

Proposed Salary
Part-time instructional assistant functions will be paid at the current Board-approved rate (2025-2026 rates are $18.00/hour).
