Applicants are required to have a Masters degree in Mathematics or Mathematics Education, and must have demonstrated experience and achievement in teaching at the secondary, foundation/bridging and/or undergraduate level. Candidates must demonstrate the ability to work well in teams, possess strong interpersonal skills, and demonstrate experience in problem solving and mathematical modeling.

This is carried out by working with the students one-on-one and by communicating with the counselors and other academic department members.
