Become A College Ta







In college, you will more likely than not be studying a specific concentration. Your college course concentration can be in any subject matter. Regardless of your major, having a TA position is fulfilling and allows you to learn something from your instructor and the specific course you taking in a whole new light.








Instructions


1. Keep your grades up. In order to apply for a TA position, it is best to choose a class in which you have good grades. Your instructor will want to know you are dedicated to this class and are able to keep your grades up, along with taking on more responsibilities.


2. Ask your instructor for a TA position. After a couple weeks of the class, and you have good grades, make it a point to ask your instructor, or your college counselor, if there are any TA positions available this semester or term.


3. Apply for the TA Position. Your instructor, or counselor, might even be impressed you asked about a TA position, and tell you get a TA application. If your instructor likes how you apply yourself in class, complete all class assignments and help other students, you will most likely qualify for their TA position. On the TA application, write down the courses you have already taken that qualify you for this TA position and what volunteer work, if any, you have completed. Also, write down other instructor's names, as references, on the application, along with your current grades and what year you intend to graduate.


4. Contribute in class and keep all of your grades up. Help other students and ask or answer questions in class to show your dedication and prove you would be a valuable TA to an instructor.
