HomeAbout Hirodai TA Matching Platform
The Center for Academic Practice and Resouces has established the "Hirodai TA Matching Platform" to provide an opportunity to match students who want to work as TF and QTA with faculty members who want to support them in their classes.
If you have always wanted to work as a TA but have never had the opportunity, or if you are aiming to become a faculty in the future and would like to be involved in the classroom in a leadership role, please register on the "Hirodai TA Matching Platform" if you would like to work as a TF or QTA. Registered users will be able to view and apply for TA positions!
Also, please consider using this system when it is difficult to arrange for students to be hired as TAs.
The flow of use is as follows. Please check the attached file "FAQ" (Listed at the bottom of this page) before proceeding.
