We are seeking a versatile, student-centered High School STEM Tutor to join our Learning Support team. This professional will work exclusively in a 1:1 capacity with students to reinforce concepts, break down complex ideas, and build academic confidence.

The ideal candidate possesses exceptional content mastery across the high school math spectrum and has a strong knack for making advanced quantitative concepts accessible to students with varied learning profiles. Additionally, the ability to support students in upper-level Chemistry and Physics is a highly valued plus, but not a requirement.

• 1:1 Math Intervention: Provide structured, high-impact, individual tutoring for students across all high school math levels: Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus, Calculus, and Statistics.
• Science Support (Plus): Tutor individual students in the conceptual and quantitative aspects of Chemistry and Physics.
• Team Collaboration: Attend and actively participate in bi-weekly department meetings. These meetings focus heavily on intentional collaboration between tutors who share the same students or support similar subject-matter content to ensure aligned strategy and student success.
• Support of Neurodiverse Students: Experience working with students who have executive functioning needs, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, or other learning differences.
• Progress Monitoring and Communication: Maintain clear, concise, and proactive notes on student progress, collaborating with the learning support team to update families when necessary.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics, Science, STEM Education, or a related field required. A master's degree is a plus.
• Content Mastery: Exceptional conceptual and practical knowledge across all high school math levels (through Calculus and Statistics). Strong foundational knowledge in Physics and Chemistry is a major asset.
• Experience: Proven experience tutoring or teaching high school-aged students in a 1:1 setting. Significant classroom experience in place of 1:1 experience is appropriate.
• Relatability: Exceptional patience, strong interpersonal skills, a collaborative mindset, and a good sense of humor.

Ideal Dispositions

• Equity-Minded: Culturally competent and deeply committed to equity, inclusion, and belonging.
• Student-Centered: Genuinely enjoys working with teenagers and understands their unique developmental needs.
• Growth-Oriented: Self-reflective, open to feedback, and committed to professional growth.
• Collaborative: Thrives in a team environment and builds strong relationships with both students and adults.
