Academic Mentor for College Students

2 weeks ago

Brooklyn, New York, United States At The Table Full time
Position Overview

At the Table is in search of dedicated educators to enhance our dynamic organization, committed to empowering students with a history in foster care by providing essential academic resources.

We connect current and prospective college students who have experienced foster care with 1:1 tutors who also act as mentors and knowledgeable allies in navigating the complexities of the educational landscape. Unlike typical tutoring roles, our positions are designed for long-term engagement: tutors will work with students until their graduation, fostering relationships that enable them to become academic mentors and positive role models.

Tutors will maintain a caseload of up to 16 students, developing strong, collaborative relationships while delivering instruction across various subjects, including Humanities and STEM. They will also assist students in mastering organizational strategies, preparing for tests, and reinforcing foundational skills in any area where support is needed. Additionally, tutors will guide students through the college experience, helping them with course selection, applications, financial aid, and scholarship processes.

We highly encourage candidates whose experiences reflect the diverse backgrounds of our students, including communities of color, working-class backgrounds, and LGBTQ+ communities, to consider this opportunity.

While the majority of our tutoring occurs remotely, candidates should be available for in-person meetings with staff or students as necessary.

Key Responsibilities

  • Organizing tutoring sessions and meeting with a caseload of 16 students for 1-2 hours weekly.
  • Providing assistance across all core subject areas and addressing educational needs such as study skills and time management.

  • Upholding and promoting the values of At the Table.
Professional Development
  • Participating in coaching, training, and self-directed learning to enhance academic and advisory skills.
  • Keeping abreast of current trends in higher education and the foster care system, as well as educational theory and pedagogy.
  • Identifying opportunities for personal and organizational growth.
  • Creating educational materials and curricula, and participating in knowledge-sharing initiatives as needed.
Qualifications
  • A Bachelor's degree is required.
  • Ability to tutor effectively in all core subjects, including English and Math.
  • Previous experience as a teacher, tutor, or guidance counselor is preferred.
  • Availability for evening and occasional weekend hours.
  • Demonstrated patience, engagement, and commitment to fostering a growth mindset.
  • Participatory teaching style; collaborates equally with students.
  • Self-reflective and capable of integrating feedback into tutoring practices.
  • Punctual, persistent, and dedicated to the role and the students served.

At the Table is an equal opportunity employer. We do not tolerate discrimination or harassment based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, marital status, citizenship, national origin, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by law.

We offer a competitive benefits package, including health insurance, life insurance, 401k matching, paid time off, and New York State mandated PFL and disability insurance.
