Universities offering complete tuition Fee Waiver
Most students miss this
90% of students don’t get TAs, not because they aren’t good enough, but because they don’t know how to apply or when.
I studied at UIUC for $0
My TA covered full tuition + stipend. You can do this too if you know how to reach out the right way.
Save you $60k–$80k/year
A TA can wipe out tuition and pay your living costs. I almost missed it too until I figured out exactly how to do it.
Ready-to-use email templates
No guessing what to write. You get the exact emails I sent to professors that got me replies (and my TA).
Learn from real success stories
I’ve included case studies and guest lectures from students who saved $100k+ some got TAs in their 1st month.
I’ll guide you personally
This isn’t one of those “watch videos and good luck” things. You’ll get 1:1 sessions with me and I’ll personally guide you step by step.

The guidance I received felt like being part of a well-thought-out system. From university shortlisting tailored to my career goals and financial situation, to understanding how to position myself for assistantships — everything was covered. We also dived into job market trends and strategies to stand out, plus I got help connecting with the right people on LinkedIn. It wasn’t just advice — it felt like a complete roadmap

In this course you'll master…
1. Finding & approaching the right opportunities
Randomly emailing professors doesn’t work. This part teaches you how to research departments strategically, identify the right professors or course coordinators, and craft outreach that actually gets restanses. You’ll also learn how to leverage networking platforms and on-campus resources to find openings that are never posted publicly.

2. Crafting a powerful profile: resume & linkedin optimization
Professors don’t just look at your grades, they notice how you present yourself. In this section, you’ll learn: • how to build a TA-focused resume (with a dedicated 1:1 resume-building session). • how to optimize your "LinkedIn" profile so you show up in searches and look credible to professors. • how to post the right kind of content on "LinkedIn" to signal expertise (even as a student). You’ll also get ready-to-use resume and "LinkedIn" templates that have worked for other successful TAs.

3. Resume & "LinkedIn" optimization
Your grades alone won’t get you a TA, professors care about how you present yourself. I’ll help you build a TA-focused resume that highlights the right projects and skills (we’ll even do a one-on-one session to make sure it’s perfect). We’ll also optimize your "LinkedIn" profile so that if a professor or senior TA checks you out, you look credible and professional. And yes, we’ll talk about what kind of content you can post on "LinkedIn" to make yourself visible without looking like you’re “trying too hard.” Plus, you’ll get ready-made templates for resumes and "LinkedIn", so you don’t have to start from scratch.

These are not generic samples; they’re based on real conversations that have converted into offers.

What students say about the course
Some kind words from course graduates
I wish I had done a call with Jugal before coming here. I missed out on a TA for two whole semesters just because I didn’t know the right way to apply. After his consultation, I finally got a TA in my third semester, and now my tuition is fully waived. Better late than never, but I wish I started earlier.

"I thought TA positions were only for PhD students, but Jugal explained how even first-semester master’s students can get them. His email templates and advice on following up politely worked like magic. I secured a TA in statistics in my first month, saving me almost $15,000 this semester alone."
Rohan Verma

"I had decent grades but zero teaching experience, so I didn’t think I stood a chance. Jugal showed me how to highlight the tutoring I did for my juniors back in India. Professors actually responded! I got a TA in my very first semester, and it feels unreal to be studying here debt-free."

Take this if you
DO
You’re ready to do the work, sending those emails, following the step‑by‑step plan, and actually applying what you learn. You’ll get real guidance from me, 1:1 reviews of your emails, help deciding whom and when to contact, and honest feedback at every step. If your university offers TA/RA roles and you want to pay $0 like I did at UIUC, this course is built for you, fast to complete (even in a weekend), practical, and proven to save $60 k–$90 k per year.
DON'T
Your university doesn’t offer TA or RA roles, check this before enrolling. Some programs, like professional MBAs, short one year master’s programs, or fully online degrees, rarely have TA positions. And if you’re not ready to put in the work, sending emails, following the timelines, this might not be useful for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Some answers to some frequently asked questions.
Can I get a TA position in my first semester, or do I need prior research experience?
Yes, you can get it in the first semester, but only if you apply strategically. Most students wait until their second semester, but departments with high undergrad enrollment need TAs every semester. Even if you don’t have research experience, solid academic performance, a relevant undergrad background, and strong communication skills can help you land one immediately. We train you on how to email professors before arriving on campus, which increases your chances drastically.
How competitive is it for international students?
Highly competitive if you wait to apply on-campus. But emailing professors early + showing teaching/tutoring experience boosts chances by ~3x
How many hours per week does a TA work?
Usually 15–20 hours/week (grading, labs, office hours). Visa rules limit you to 20 hours during the semester.
How much does a TA actually save me per year?
On average, $50,000–$80,000/year (tuition + living stipend combined) depending on the university and location.
Can undergraduates apply for TA positions?
Yes, but rarely with tuition waivers. Undergrad TAs are mostly paid hourly ($10–$15/hr). Graduate TAships are the ones with full waivers.
