  • Expertly manage a classroom of up to 16 students.

  • Possess strong content knowledge in reading, writing, and grammar with the ability to help students navigate advanced concepts requiring critical thinking.
  • Skillfully provide clear, thoughtful, and thorough feedback on students' writing assignments.
  • Expertly motivate and challenge advanced learners.

This position requires a minimum initial commitment of 3 hours per week for each assigned class. Each course meets once per week for 1 hour 45 minutes.
