Job Description

Do you want to help reduce academic opportunity gaps? Do you enjoy working 1:1 or 2:1 with students to help them learn literacy and math concepts? If you answered “yes” to these two questions, then we need you on the TutorND team as an early childhood intervention specialist!

VISION AND MISSION:Our vision is to help close educational opportunity gaps by increasing access to high-quality, evidence-based learning and enrichment programs for children at no cost to their families. Our mission is to serve children, tutors, teachers, administrators, our community, and the field of education through three major aims: (1) directly providing evidence-based tutoring and assessment for children in grades PK-8, with priority for children who do not typically have access to private tutoring; (2) serving as a nationally-recognized, open-access hub for tutor training, instructional coaching, tutoring curricula and assessments, and collaborative design communities for tutors; and (3) innovating tutoring programs and practices and contributing to high-quality, open science through the development, improvement, sharing, replication, and scaling of effective tutoring programs and practices.

POSITION OVERVIEW:Early Childhood Intervention Specialists will work three days a week with other intervention specialists and tutors to travel to local schools to work with students aged PK-5 on structured literacy and math tasks. The person in this position will learn how to administer the scripted interventions and will need to pass necessary background checks before being approved to work with the children.

Feel called to do something about social injustice in education
Enjoy mentoring and sharing knowledge and skills with children
Feel a sense of personal responsibility to help improve students’ academic growth
