What are the responsibilities and job description for the Reading Tutor position at KnowledgePoints Tutoring?
Consistent hours, convenient location (no in-home), curriculum and lesson plans provided. KnowledgePoints has developed an excellent reputation and has become a trusted name for many families in Pasco and northern Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties. Come work in a fun environment with a team of great people!
KnowledgePoints is hiring a part-time instructor for our basic skills (K-12 reading, writing or math) and SAT/ACT Prep programs at our Land O' Lakes location. We are primarily looking for current or retired (professional) teachers, or those pursuing an Education degree to become a teacher. This is not a position for high school students, those who have only tutored friends and family, or even professional teachers who have not taught Reading/English. We currently have a particular need for someone who can start early in the afternoon, so this person must be able to start by no later than 2:30pm on weekdays.
We are a little different! We are a professional tutoring center that employs tutors (W-2) year-round. All tutoring takes place in our center, so there is no unpaid travel time or excessive gas/mileage expense. Some of our tutors work as few as 5-6 hours per week, while we have others that work as many as 20 hours per week. We take the time up front to understand how much our tutors want to work and when they are available, and then we schedule them within those parameters. We never schedule a tutor unless we can give them at least 2 consecutive hours. For current full-time teachers, we can work with you to find a schedule that will fit with your school schedule without "overdoing it."
All tutoring is individualized - we never exceed a 2:1 student ratio. We handle all parent communication, scheduling, student testing and session planning, allowing our tutors to spend ALL of their time doing what they enjoy most - teaching students!
To Qualify You Must Have:
- Professional Reading or English teaching/tutoring experience
- The ability to start by 1:30 or 2:30pm on weekdays.
- A passion for working with children
- Strong interpersonal skills
- Excellent organizational skills
- Bachelors Degree preferred (Associate's acceptable if working on an Education-related degree)
*We only consider local candidates within a reasonable (30 minutes or less) commute. Our tutoring shifts can be as short as 2-3 hours at times, making a long commute challenging financially. For candidates who plan to relocate to the area, please just reach out to us at trinity@knowledgepoints.com when your relocation is complete. Please include resume with your response.
