Who's Hiring



What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in supplemental instruction leader jobs.
- Bachelor's degree in a relevant academic subject area or enrollment in a graduate program
- Prior experience as a tutor, teaching assistant, or peer educator in a college setting

Tips for Your Supplemental Instruction Leader Job Search
Tailor your resume to SI metrics
Hiring committees want to see session attendance rates, grade improvements, and repeat participation numbers from students you led. Pull those figures from any SI program reports you have access to and put them front and center on your resume.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists supplemental instruction leader openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Highlight your subject-area depth clearly
Many applicants undersell the content knowledge side. If you led sessions for organic chemistry, econometrics, or calculus, name those courses explicitly on your resume so hiring managers can match you to their highest-need courses quickly.
Get your CRLA certification before applying
College Reading and Learning Association certification, especially the Tutor and Peer Educator levels, appears in a large share of SI leader postings. Completing even Level 1 before you apply gives you a concrete credential to reference in cover letters and interviews.
Prepare a sample session plan for interviews
Many SI programs ask candidates to demonstrate or describe how they would structure a session for a struggling cohort. Walk in with a one-page sample plan for a course in your subject area, showing how you'd open, scaffold concepts, and check understanding.
Follow up with the academic support office directly
SI programs are often run by a single coordinator or academic support director. After you apply, a brief, professional email to that office confirming your application and your availability to start training signals initiative in a way a form submission alone does not.
Supplemental Instruction Leader Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most supplemental instruction leaders?
The companies hiring the most supplemental instruction leaders right now include South Texas College, Tarrant County College, and College of Southern Nevada, with the largest share of openings in Texas, Michigan, and Arkansas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Community colleges and large public universities tend to post the highest volume of openings each academic term.
How many supplemental instruction leader jobs are remote?
About 50% of supplemental instruction leader openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the growth of online course sections at many institutions. Remote roles are most common in writing centers, online math support programs, and asynchronous tutoring platforms attached to community colleges.
How do you become a supplemental instruction leader?
Start by earning strong grades in the course or subject area you want to support, since most programs require demonstrated academic performance in that specific discipline. Apply to your institution's academic support or tutoring center, complete their SI-specific training, and shadow an experienced leader before running sessions independently. Earning a College Reading and Learning Association certification strengthens your application significantly.
Can you get hired as a supplemental instruction leader with little experience?
Yes, many programs hire candidates with no formal SI experience as long as you have strong subject-area grades and some peer teaching background, such as informal tutoring or TA work. Emphasize any time you explained difficult concepts to classmates, led study groups, or created review materials. Programs at community colleges and regional universities are especially open to training candidates from scratch.
What does the supplemental instruction leader interview process look like?
Most SI programs use a two-stage process: a screening conversation with the SI coordinator or academic support director, followed by a practical demonstration where you facilitate a short mock session or explain how you would structure one. Interviewers focus on your content knowledge, your ability to ask guiding questions rather than lecture, and how you handle students who are disengaged or stuck on the same misconception repeatedly.
Where can I find and apply to supplemental instruction leader jobs?
You can find and apply to supplemental instruction leader jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your subject area and institution type, then apply directly to each listing that fits your availability and qualifications.
