If asked this question during your interview, you can expect that you will supervise the work of tutors hired to provide direct academic support to students. You will also see this requirement in the job description when you apply for the job. If you have experience supervising employees in your previous work, talk in-depth about that experience. If possible, try to highlight your work in managing employee schedules, approving timesheets, recruiting and training new staff. If you don't have direct experience directly managing or supervising staff in your prior work, that is okay. Just be sure to discuss the leadership qualities you would bring to this role as an Academic Support Coordinator and confirm that you are confident in the supervisory tasks you would be required to perform.

"In my current role, I have two direct reports, and I'm responsible for managing their day to day work, approving their timecards, and writing annual performance reviews. Last year, I was fortunate to recruit one of these employees internally, and I worked with them on all of their initial training. I am a leader that likes to take a hands-off approach with my staff, entrusting them to get the job done. I always keep an open door for questions and to guide them, and they always have appreciated that style of being managed."

In my current role, I do not have any individuals directly reporting to me. As the head of the department, I was tasked with mentoring new teachers. I would observe their classrooms and provide feedback for them to reflect on. I would allow them to observe my classroom to see my teaching style. I am very much a lead by example and really trusted my teachers to get the job done but I was also there to provide support when needed.
