University of St. Thomas Houston

The University of St. Thomas Tutorial Services Center (UST TSC) is devoted to a single idea: "Students Helping Students Succeed." A group of 10-15 tutors work with individual students or groups of students to assess and improve their academic abilities. Each tutor offers Content-Area tutoring, normally related to their area of study, and General Writing tutoring, which focuses on honing a student's writing abilities in any discipline. At the end of a tutoring session, a tutor is responsible for generating a report which is then sent to the Director and to the professor of record associated with the tutee's request (i.e. an English professor for an English course, a Theology professor for a Theology course). Working at the TSC requires highly-developed interpersonal skills, and exposes tutors to Microsoft Access while honing their data entry and communication abilities.

Its a small campus, thus politics play a large control in each department.Though some are better than other's, the culture has evolved to maintain dictatorships within critical departments who deal with students closely. Since the school is a non-proft, employees are paid at the lowest compared to Houston universities. Recently the change in health benefits to third parties, lead people to seek alternatives. Overall departments will effect other departments therefore be informed from past employees. The only benefit which makes it worth applying is free tution for you and your family after 6months.Weigh your options before applying.Corruption is at large.

The student union representative position was an on-campus job at the University of St. Thomas in which we worked as a desk clerk.

Job responsibilities included:
-Directing anyone who need assistance in the main building.
-Answering the phone if anyone called needing directions or any other questions about upcoming events or anything which had to do with the campus.
-Strolling the main campus making sure everything was in line (Push in chairs, report any messes etc.)

My most enjoyable experience is helping teachers grow as educators. I enjoy being a facilitator for teachers to become more successful in the classroom and in meeting the needs of the diverse population of English Language Learners. 
The hardest is trying to fit in as much as possible the course time. I want to share as much as I can of my own knowledge and experiences with my students.  Teaching other teachers is great!
I teach graduate students (who are working teachers) in the area bilingual dual language and ESL. It is a great opportunity to have an impact and help teachers continue to grow in their knowledge and skills.

St. Thomas has been very good to me overall. There is not a lot of room for advancement within any department unless someone quits or you department hop, because it is so small. Some of the hardest working people I have ever laid eyes on work here, including myself. I was given the chance to work in a department that I knew nothing about, and I couldn't have been luckier to have landed in a better department. I have gained a ton of amazing knowledge because they took a chance on me, and I am forever grateful for that. They have provided me with an outstanding education too.

I have had nothing but wonderful experiences at St.Thomas. They have excelled in molding and creating a productive student and adult. 

A typical day is a day full of classes; however professors are helpful, kind, and work with the students. 

I learned how to manage school, work, and personal life. 

We have a diverse student body, which allowed me to be exposed to a multitude of perceptions, cultures, faiths, and people. 

I have learned to see things as a whole and recognize how many things in life are interconnected. It is a fine liberal arts school that focuses on social justice and preparing their students for the work force, world, and personal identity.

My typical day at UST consisted of Lecture or class prep and between three to 5 hours in the class room.  From this job I learned the work level to accomplish personal and professional goals with high level individuals not only academically, but socially and financially.  The Professors were very supportive of each other, but there was a lot of tension between the professors and the leadership at the University.  The most difficult part of the job was the general campus resistance to growth.  The best part was the intellectual rigor between professors and students..

It was my first job right out of high school and needed something until i figured what i wanted to do with my life.  The job was not difficult once you learned a few basic things.  There was very little room for advancement.  It was a tedious and not so thrilling job once the nostalgia of working with airplanes wore off.  It was a hard job just a relaxed one and was very good with going to school even though they offered tuition reimbursement.  It was ok overall but not something long term unless you didn't mind just staying in one place.


The amount of work and priority they expect from full-time students is too high compared to how low their compensation is. They treat students as though they should put their part-time job above their academics while simultaneously claiming that they put academics above all. If there is a class conflict with an event they assign menial tasks (busy work) as a way to 'make up' the missed event. This is reasonable if missed for other reasons, but seems unreasonable if the absence is for class.

Fairly relaxed atmosphere. Good work/life balance.  Stay away from the faculty and administration politics and you're good.  
Did have good health benefits although a little expensive.  But PPO option will be gong away due to high cost to University.
