Interested in becoming an LA?

Are you thinking about becoming an LA? Check out our brochure to find out about what it's like to be an LA, and how to get involved with the program.

There are many different types of undergraduate teaching positions at GW, including TAs and Lab TAs, Peer Writing Preceptors (PWPs), Academic Commons Tutors, and Athletics Tutors. Some departments use the phrase LA interchangeably with TA. Please note: there are two content areas that are recognized by the GW LA Program -- Physics and Astronomy, and World Languages. Faculty in these content areas implement all three components of the LA Program model -- LAs work with students during regular class time, all first-time LAs complete comprehensive pedagogical training, and course instructors meet weekly with their LAs to prepare for class. 

• Astronomy and Physics
  • Professor Mark Reeves is the point of contact if you are interested in being an LA for an astronomy or physics course.
• World Languages
  • Contact Professor Margaret Gonglewski if you are interested in being an LA for a world language course.
