Teachers staff a designated CLASSTIME room at the sports facility on school nights during the 4:00–8:00 PM window, helping students complete homework, stay on top of their grades, and develop stronger academic habits before they get on the court and head home.

The program is designed to provide accessible, structured academic support rather than traditional private tutoring. Students may walk in for homework help, and siblings are welcome. The position is primarily in person in  Randall’s Island , with the potential for teachers to support CLASSTIME ONLINE as well. Teachers may also work on a rotational basis across CLASSTIME  locations , depending on program needs and their ability to commute between locations.

• Staff and supervise the designated CLASSTIME study hall environment.

• Provide guidance with organization, planning, time management, and study skills.

• Track student usage and communicate relevant concerns to the Novella Prep program manager.
• Maintain a positive, structured, and supportive learning environment.
