Frequently Asked Questions

Benefits

Can my friends serve with me?

Do I get to choose where I serve?

During our selection process, a member of the recruitment team will speak to you about our different school communities. Based upon the conversation, the recruiter will suggest the community that would be the best fit. Candidate preferences will be taken into account. Final placement will be based on candidate’s skills, preference, and the needs and vacancies in each of our school communities.

Responsibilities

What are the primary duties of Tutors, and how are they assigned?

In-person Tutors will provide small-group instruction to students in math and/or ELA. You might also have secondary support roles that directly impact the academic achievement of students. These projects may include providing in-class support or organizing after-school clubs. Virtual Tutors will provide small-group instruction to students in math and/or ELA at a specified time a few times a week.

General

How do I apply for the Teacher Residency program?

What is the calendar for next year?

In-person tutors typically start in the late summer or fall and finish up the year at the end of June. Virtual tutors can choose to work for the full school year, or just one semester. The first semester will run from September through December and the second semester will run from February through April. All tutors will get federal and school holidays off. If you are a current college or grad student, the school schedule might not align to your college or university academic calendar.
