How do I apply to teach at the MTC? top
You may apply on line. To do so, go to the Online Teacher Application page.
Do I have to be a BYU student to teach at the MTC? top
Since the MTC is part of BYU, BYU student applicants are given first preference in the selection of MTC teachers. However, non-BYU students are hired if needs exist that cannot be filled by BYU students.
What are teachers paid? top
Teachers receive a generous starting wage. They are also eligible for a wage increase after four months of excellent performance as a teacher.
How many hours can I work a week? top
As mandated by BYU, student employees may not exceed 20 work hours per week.
When will you have openings for teachers? top
Typically there are a number of openings for teachers at the beginning of BYU semesters/terms, especially Fall Semester. However, teachers can be needed at any time. Apply whenever you have an interest in teaching at the MTC. Your application will then be on file and you can be contacted when there is an opening for you.
Applicants interested in starting a teaching position when BYU Fall Semester begins need to apply in July or early August. It takes considerable time to complete the application and selection processes for filling the many teacher openings at that time. In addition, the hiring and training of new teachers are completed before school begins for the semester.
How long are teacher applications kept on file? top
Teacher applications are kept for one year.
Can international students be MTC teachers? Are there special restrictions? top
The rating session provides teacher applicants the opportunity to demonstrate effective teaching skills.
I want to work part-time at the MTC, but not as a teacher. What positions are available? top
Student openings for all positions except teacher (Cafeteria, Bookstore, Custodial, etc.) are posted by BYU Student Employment. Selection and hiring are handled on the BYU campus. Only MTC teachers are hired at the MTC. Full-time positions are posted on the web at BYU Job Opportunities.
