Assistant Chess Tutor Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Role: Full-Time Tutor, Learning Coach & Mentor
Location: Trinity Arch Preparatory School for Boys, Phoenix, AZ
Start Date: Fall 2025

About Trinity Arch Prep:
Trinity Arch Preparatory School for Boys is a Christian microschool serving boys ages 9–16. Inspired by the British tradition and grounded in a Christian ethos of love, hope, and service, our school cultivates intellectual curiosity, personal responsibility, and spiritual growth. We offer a mastery-based, personalized learning model emphasizing rigorous academics, character development, and mentorship.

Position Overview:
We are seeking a mission-aligned, full-time Tutor to join our growing school community. This is a mission-critical position—not merely an academic support role, but a full-time calling to guide, coach, and form boys as confident students and exemplary and young men.

At Trinity Arch Prep, tutoring is not something that happens after class—it is the class. Our "side-by-side tutoring" model means that Tutors work closely with a small group of boys (about 6 students) throughout the day, learning how each student learns and adapting instruction accordingly. You are part teacher, part mentor, and part coach. Your goal: to help each student grow in knowledge, confidence, and character.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide daily academic instruction and support in:
  • Middle School Math (grades 5–8)
  • Reading comprehension and literature analysis
  • Writing (creative, expository, and persuasive)
  • Science and social studies
  • Socratic seminars and project-based learning
• Serve as the academic and personal guide for a cohort of 6 boys, ages 10–14
• Develop and implement individualized learning plans to support student mastery
• Foster meaningful relationships with students built on trust, accountability, and encouragement
• Lead or assist with afternoon sports activities (e.g., soccer, basketball, fitness training) or co-curricular programs (e.g., chess, music, or art)
• Model Christian character and virtues in all aspects of the school day
• Collaborate with colleagues to create a joyful, disciplined, and purposeful learning environment

Schedule & Structure:

• Four-day in-person school week (Monday–Thursday) with Fridays reserved for at-home learning
• Tutor will be responsible for hosting Friday virtual “office hours” and supplemental one-on-one or small-group tutoring sessions
• Afternoon coaching duties will be part of the regular Monday–Thursday school rhythm

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• Committed Christian who believes in the transformative power of faith, discipline, and education
• Strong content knowledge in core academic areas: math, writing, reading, science, and social studies
• Warm, reflective, and relational with the ability to connect deeply with boys ages 10–14
• Passionate about mentorship and committed to understanding how each boy learns
• Athletic or co-curricular coaching experience a strong plus
• Comfortable using basic digital tools for instruction, assessment, and communication
• Eager to contribute to a school that is small in size but big in vision

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Associate's Degree
• Experience in teaching, tutoring, or coaching adolescents
• Familiarity with classical liberal arts education, discussion-based instruction, or individualized learning models

Compensation & Benefits:

• Full-time salaried position
• Compensation commensurate with experience
• Professional development and leadership growth opportunities
