Knoxville, Tennessee, United States Emerald Youth Foundation Full time
Position Overview

Compensation: $17.00 per hour

We appreciate your interest in the Emerald Youth JustLead Tutor position.

Emerald Youth Foundation has been dedicated to uplifting the youth of Knoxville since 1991, fostering generations of principled community leaders. Over the years, we have engaged over 30,000 children and young adults through diverse community initiatives. Each year, we support more than 3,000 youth in Knoxville through programs focused on faith, education, and health.

Purpose of the Role:

Our after-school programs utilize the MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) Assessment to identify students' academic strengths and areas for improvement. We aim to address learning gaps effectively. Last year, many students paired with tutors demonstrated significant academic progress, highlighting the importance of this role. Tutors will assist students in enhancing their reading and math skills through tailored resources and content that cater to their unique learning levels.

Work Environment:

Tutors will be assigned to one of the JustLead program sites, which operate through a network of over 18 churches and faith-based organizations. This initiative aims to cultivate urban youth who are passionate about their faith and capable of leading community renewal efforts. Engaging and structured activities, including academics, health, and service-learning, will be conducted within these community settings.

Responsibilities:

Tutors will focus on helping students achieve their reading and math objectives, depending on their grade level and specific needs. Elementary tutoring will emphasize reading skills, while middle school tutoring will concentrate on mathematics. Comprehensive curriculum and resources will be provided, along with training on their effective use.

Working Hours:

Tutors are expected to work between 8-10 hours weekly during after-school hours, typically from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Availability for at least 3-4 days a week for 2-3 hours each day is required. The specific schedule will be tailored to the candidate's availability and aligned with site needs.

Target Age Group:

Tutors will work with groups of 3 to 6 students from elementary and middle school levels. One-on-one tutoring will be prioritized to ensure personalized support, although some instances may involve small groups of two students. Placement will be determined based on the candidate's qualifications and availability.

Compensation:

Tutors will receive a payment of $17.00 per hour.

Commitment Requirements:

• Commitment to the full academic year is essential.
• In-person tutoring is required.
• A genuine desire to foster the academic development of urban youth is crucial.
• Ability to build meaningful relationships with students.
• Openness to feedback and a willingness to learn and improve.
• Enrollment in post-secondary education or a college degree is necessary.
• A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Previous teaching or tutoring experience is advantageous.
• Enrollment in a teacher-preparation or education-related program is preferred.
• Experience working with urban youth is a plus.

Next Steps:

Interested candidates are encouraged to complete the application questions thoroughly. We recommend attaching a resume if available. Detailed responses will help us in the selection process.

Emerald Youth Foundation is committed to providing equal employment opportunities to all individuals, regardless of race, color, sex, age, or national origin.
