This search is for the academic year 2021-22 only. Students who applied for this position earlier this year may re-apply.
General Duties/Description:
Job duties include, but are not limited to, teaching Korean language classes in Korean (on MWF, usually in the morning), preparing/grading tests, homework, and assignments, keeping student records, participating in TA meetings, attending course lectures, and collaborating with the supervisor and other TAs.
Requirements:
Graduate students accepted by or enrolled in the University of Washington are eligible to apply. Previous teaching experience is a plus. Strong Korean language skills are required. TA positions require strong organizational and communication skills and the ability to work well both individually and as part of team.
