Tutor - Volunteer

Tutoring Position

One Family Illinois is looking for dedicated individuals to act as one on one or small group tutors for youth ranging from 1st grade through high school. While some students will arrive with homework, those who do not will work on supplemental practice work built by the tutor in collaboration with OFI staff. Tutoring takes place once a week during the school year for approximately 2 hours. Hour one is spent on homework, reading, or tutor lead learning. For the second hour, tutors spend 30 minutes in more of a mentoring capacity, getting to know there youth better through anything from board games to building model rockets. The final 30 minutes focuses on reflection and discussion with your fellow tutors and One Family Education staff.

We are looking for individuals who are eager to build relationships with youth and model a love of learning. Tutors must be reliable, creative, patient, and self-motivated. Experience working with youth is required and an understanding of youth who have experienced trauma is preferred. Tutors must be able to submit to a background check, provide a negative TB test, and provide proof of COVID vaccination. Tutors also must be able to commit to weekly tutoring sessions throughout the school year.
