What is CUNY tutoring?

CUNY tutoring refers to the academic support services provided by the City University of New York (CUNY) to help students succeed in their courses. These services include one-on-one or group tutoring sessions in subjects such as math, writing, science, and more. Tutoring is usually offered by trained peer tutors or professional staff, and is available to all CUNY students for free or at a low cost. The goal is to help students strengthen their understanding of course material, improve study skills, and boost academic performance.

Familiarity with online learning platforms, tutoring software, and campus-specific systems like Blackboard is typically required. Exceptional communication, patience, and the ability to motivate and adapt to diverse student needs are crucial soft skills for success. These competencies ensure effective knowledge transfer, foster student confidence, and support academic achievement within the CUNY community.

Job description


Hello CUNY students!

We are excited to connect with you about joining our team of NYC-based tutors.

Toolkit Tutors works with NYCDOE schools to provide structured, high-impact tutoring that helps students build confidence, master content, and ace their exams. Our tutors work across all subjects and grade levels, with a focus on small-group and one-on-one instruction.

What sets Toolkit apart is that our tutors don't just teach content: they also coach students in personal organization and study skills so they can become self-sufficient learners.
As a tutor, you'll work part-time (2-3 days per week, 4-6 hours per day), with tutoring taking place during the school day at the school site. Each day you will see 4-5 groups of students. We provide all the curriculum and materials you'll need to run a great tutoring session.

This is a W2 position that pays between $32 and $35 per hour, based on applicant experience (roughly equivalent to $37 - $40 per hour as a 1099 role once payroll taxes, paid sick time, and retirement match are factored in).

Responsibilities

  • Provide structured tutoring to small groups of students using Toolkit Tutors or school-provided curriculum
  • Review student baseline data to tailor instruction to students' individual needs
  • Help students deploy effective study skills, including personal organization, problem-solving strategies, and review techniques
  • Take daily attendance and tutoring notes using a personal mobile device
  • Communicate professionally with school staff and Toolkit Tutors leadership

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution, completed (or near completion) with strong academic performance
  • At least one year of experience teaching or tutoring in a school setting
  • Strong content knowledge in your subject area(s)
  • Experience working in urban school communities and an understanding of common student challenges
  • Reliable, punctual, and committed to student growth
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to engage students
  • Ability to commute to assigned NYC schools
  • DOE fingerprint clearance strongly preferred

Benefits

  • Hourly pay rate between $32 to $35 (W2 employee), paid weekly (comparable to approximately $37-$40/hr as a 1099 role when taxes, paid sick leave, and retirement benefits are considered)
  • Paid sick leave
  • Paid training and professional development
  • All curriculum and materials provided
  • Employee 401(k) plan with 50% employer match (up to 5% of wages), available after 6 months of employment.
