Posting Title: Speech and Critical Thinking Tutor 

 

Overview   

 

TASC, SFSU’s Tutoring and Academic Support Center, is where students can receive support on course material and assignments for many classes, individually or within a group. TASC speech/critical thinking tutors are passionate about working collaboratively with students enrolled in oral communication (A1) and critical thinking (A3) courses, are trained to connect students to tutoring resources, and support students in developing academic study skills, like time management, public speaking, and critical thinking.  

 

Tutors support students in oral communication classes on speech anxiety, brainstorming, outlining, drafting, researching, timing and delivering speeches. Our speech lab is where students can work through their ideas in a warm, friendly, supportive environment to build on public speaking skills. They can also work with students in critical thinking classes to read academic texts for comprehension, to encourage the development of their reasoning and analytic capabilities, and to provide constructive, specific feedback for students to work through their ideas and formulate them in writing.
