Academic Tutor

Academic Tutor Job

We are looking for friendly, helpful, reliable students who love working with children! No experience needed! As an instructor/tutor, you will be working with students ranging in ages generally from 4 (pre-kindergarteners) to 13 (older middle school). We will train you thoroughly on Gideon Math & Reading curriculum and methods. Our goal for each student is for him to achieve any school goals he may have, whether it is to catch up, keep up, or stay ahead of grade-level work.

Gideon is an after-school math and reading center that builds confidence through academic mastery. Through our step-by-step curriculum, we strengthen and grow a child's education by going at the student's pace and only progressing into the next topic once the child shows competency. Gideon is a fun, calm learning environment to help children catch up, keep up, and stay ahead! You get to help kids and not work early mornings or late nights. Gideon is passionate about building a child's confidence to show them what is possible with some extra practice in math and reading.

Through our training, you will guide up to 4 students at a time through the Gideon curriculum while helping the students develop an independent approach to learning. You will be the positive and patient instructor for the students as they sit with you at a table to work through their pre-assigned booklets. You will keep the students focused and answer any questions they have.

Stay positive, encouraging, and professional with students.

Grade all work done by students and ensure corrections have been completed for students to learn from their mistakes.

Answer any questions for students and guide them to independent learning with techniques like: sounding out words, encouraging the rereading of the story or directions, asking what they do know, or having them use a dictionary. Introduce new concepts to students.

Complete documentation of students' progress and booklets.

Monitor the students at the table to keep them on task and promote a productive learning environment by keeping the table quiet and mostly chatter-free.
