Job Description

Job Description

Help provide a brighter future for kids in your community by joining Michigan Education Corps!

As a Math Tutor, you’ll support students in grades 4–8 as they build foundational math and problem-solving skills. You’ll work with students in pairs or small groups of 3 during the school day, helping them practice math skills, build confidence, and get back on track in math.

You’ll use evidence-based, scripted interventions —proven, step-by-step lessons that guide you through each session—so you’re never expected to create your own curriculum.

We’ll Prepare You to Succeed
