Contract Tutor

Overview
We are educators passionate about helping ALL students succeed. Our story has grown from seeing the tremendous educational needs and academic gaps children face daily. Students who struggle to keep up academically, students who struggle to stay interested and focused, and students who need individual help beyond regular school. We are focused on celebrating diversity, having FUN, and getting students involved in their educational journey. We strive to find effective solutions for every child. Our teachers are dedicated to showing every child that YES they can learn. We believe in making the process of learning a gift for everyone.

Role Description

Our Mission:

We are highly dedicated to meeting the needs of ALL students, especially those that typically struggle to fit in a regular school setting. This means that we often see students who may have behavioral or attention difficulties. Some lack motivation and turn away from learning because it has been so hard for them in the past. Our team is dedicated to showing these students that YES they can learn! Not all our students fall into this category, but many students who need individual tutoring have found it a struggle to get what they need in a traditional classroom setting. We help them discover why this is occurring and then how to fill in their needs.

Our Job:

Many of our students are learners that have unique needs, interests, and learning styles and therefore require a more personalized approach to education. We find ways to reach these students that might require alternative/differentiated practices. These practices include sensory breaks, working for incentives/goals, experiential learning, competency-based and game-based learning.

What Blooming Minds does for our tutors:

Blooming Minds will be your go-between and support. Once families show interest in tutoring, we will complete intake assessments based on student need. You will receive these assessments so you can plan for your student. Blooming Minds also provides tools for instruction and teaching supplies. As we begin the process these items will be determined based on student needs. We also provide professional development or learning sessions. You may need instruction on an evidence-based practice that a student may use or may need a refresher on a specific strategy. We will provide this for you if needed. Blooming minds will also complete family contracts, collect tutoring payments/send tutor payments, and manage administrative items as needed.

What Tutors will do:

First, we match you with a student that requires tutoring services based on your qualifications and experience. Once matched, you work communicate with families to determine your own schedule and location for tutoring. We offer flexible scheduling, which means it can be any day of the week within reasonable times based on both parties’ schedules. Tutoring might occur at the closest library, which is our recommendation, or a location where you can provide a quiet learning environment. Times and locations must be agreeable for all parties. Once tutoring begins, you will be responsible for developing learning plans, keeping track of student progress, and communicating with families, to include both academic progress and tutoring schedule.

Most Importantly:

We are here for our students, families, and YOU! We want this tutoring experience to be GREAT for all parties involved. We are open to clear communication and encourage families and employees to ask questions and have transparency throughout this process. Teaching is not easy, and we want to make this experience enjoyable for all.
