Part-Time Elementary Teacher/Tutor Wanted

Passionate about puns? Excited by literature? Moved by math? Eager to help elementary students succeed in all subjects?

We are currently seeking part-time teacher-tutors at Oxford Learning St. Thomas. This position is perfect for anyone who loves working with students at the elementary level.

The Role:

Our teachers explain and guide students through provided material while teaching crucial learning skills and having fun. You will have flexibility in how you deliver the material to each student (in fact, we encourage that!), but you must follow all Oxford Learning philosophies and methodologies (training will be provided).

You will not be required to lesson plan or create learning materials for students - we do that for you! Your role includes reporting on concepts covered and cognitive skills discussed, monitoring and reporting on student progress, and ensuring student programming moves at an appropriate pace, all during your shift - you will never be expected to bring work home.
