Join the Team

The Center for Teaching and Learning hires undergraduate, graduate, and professional students to work as Peer Learning Consultants. Our program is organized into four divisions, each of which supports students in its own way: Peer Academic Coaching, Engineering Equity, Program Coordination, and Communications. This divisional structure provides opportunities for learning consultants to support student learning in their preferred format, whether that's 1:1 interaction with students or delivering presentations to a large group or designing and innovating academic skills curriculum. Learn more about each of our divisions below to determine which may be the best fit for you. Please note that each division has its own recruitment and selection process.

Learn About Each Division

Peer Academic Coaching

Peer Academic Coaches are mid-to-late-stage graduate or professional students who have undergone extensive training to be able to help students identify and pursue goals related to learning and thriving academically at Stanford. Our Peer Academic Coaches work alongside our Professional Academic Coaches to provide one-on-one academic coaching to all Stanford students. 

Engineering Equity

Through a joint partnership with the School of Engineering's Equity and Inclusion Initiatives, (EII) the Center for Teaching and Learning hires Engineering Learning Consultants to primarily work with Stanford graduate students in the School of Engineering. ELCs promote equity and inclusion in Engineering learning spaces and are current graduate students in the School of Engineering. 

Program Coordination

Program Coordinators are responsible for managing and facilitating academic skills events such as our study halls and time management refreshers. They are also responsible for managing the logistics for academic programming, events, workshops, study halls, and academic studios. They provide administrative support for the other four divisions and ensure operational efficiency of the Peer Learning Consultant Program.

Communications

The Communications Division is comprised of undergraduate and graduate students who seek to increase awareness of CTL's student learning programs and events across campus, promote practical, evidence-based learning strategies, and foster a culture of academic resilience at Stanford. Team member responsibilities include graphic design, social media content creation, and copywriting. Projects include creating program and event flyers, developing visual and written content for Instagram, and contributing to CTL's weekly academic skills newsletter.
