Part Time Academic information

What is a part time academic?

Part-time academics are educators or researchers who work at educational institutions, such as universities or colleges, on a part-time basis rather than as full-time staff. They may teach courses, assist in research, or provide academic support while balancing other professional or personal commitments. These roles often offer flexible hours and can be ideal for those pursuing further studies or working in another field. Part-time academics are essential in bringing real-world experience and diverse perspectives to academic settings.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a part time academic, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Part Time Academic, you generally need subject-matter expertise, a relevant advanced degree (often a master's or doctorate), and prior teaching or research experience. Familiarity with learning management systems (LMS) like Blackboard or Canvas, as well as virtual classroom technologies, is typically required. Strong communication, time management, and adaptability help you engage diverse learners and balance multiple responsibilities. These skills and qualities are essential for delivering effective instruction, supporting student success, and managing flexible academic schedules.

What are some common challenges faced by part time academics, and how can they be managed effectively?

Part-time academics often face challenges such as balancing multiple teaching assignments across institutions, limited access to campus resources, and less time for research or professional development. Effective time management and clear communication with department heads can help address these issues. Building connections with full-time colleagues and participating in available faculty meetings or workshops can also foster a sense of community and provide access to valuable resources and support.

Job description

Part Time Academic Success Coach
Flexible Schedule | No Lesson Planning or Outside Work | One-to-One Instruction
$22-23/hour
At Brightmont Academy, we believe in redefining what it means to teach! Founded in 1999, we've been helping students from 1st to 12th grade unlock their full potential through one-on-one instruction. With 27 campuses across the country, we create a personalized, nurturing learning environment where each student thrives.
The Homework Studio is independent learning time to supplement time spent in one-to-one instruction sessions where students have access to computers and a quiet work area. This supervised study lab offers the opportunity for students to complete coursework-related assignments, practice good study habits and build executive function skills, and/or sit for exams. The Homework Studio coach is responsible for overseeing students in Homework Studio and for motivating them to complete tasks.
Our 1:1 Teaching Model Allows you to:
  • Be the Star of the Show! Teach students one-on-one, tailoring lessons to their unique needs and learning styles.
  • Empower Young Minds: Guide students to mastery with a gradual release approach that builds confidence and academic success.
  • No Stress, No Extra Work: Forget about lesson planning, parent conferences, or endless grading. We want you to focus on inspiring your students!
  • Grow With Us: Enjoy professional development opportunities that elevate your teaching career.

Requirements
  • A Bachelor's Degree in your subject area (English, Social Studies, History, Government, Economics-anything that fuels your passion!)
  • Patience & Empathy: You understand that every student learns differently, and you're committed to supporting them every step of the way.
  • A Heart for Teaching: A genuine passion to share your subject with the next generation.
  • Proficiency using G-Suite and Learning Management Software (LMS)
  • Ability to provide fingerprints (AZ, WA, only) and pass a federal background check.

Brightmont Academy is an equal opportunity employer. Our intent is to recruit, hire, and train all persons in all job groups in accordance with the law, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, marital status, disability, national origin, sexual preference, or any other protected status.
