Grace Church School

Manhattan, NY • On-site

Part-time

Re-posted yesterday

Job description

About Grace

Grace Church School’s mission of fostering academic excellence, ethical values, and an inclusive community anchors our program and informs our pedagogy and curriculum, preparing our students to lead meaningful and productive lives.  The school nurtures and educates the whole child, understanding that our humanity comprises mind, body, heart, and spirit. We celebrate our differences, respect our diversity, and embrace our shared human experience.

We are seeking confident, ethical, adaptable and thoughtful educators with excellent communication skills to join a diverse and nurturing school community. 

Our Commitment to Equity, Inclusion, and Anti-Racism:

Grace Church School seeks to provide its students with an outstanding education and with the desire to use it to make the world a better place.  Every facet of our work is enhanced by the diversity and strength of our community. We believe that equity and inclusion are not only hallmarks of a just society, but also virtues essential to sound learning.  And so, Grace seeks to recognize and honor the unique gifts of its students, families, faculty, and staff—and the cultures, beliefs, values, and experiences that have shaped them—striving always to cultivate mutual understanding, humility, respect, and kindness.

But inclusion is not enough and equity is an impossibility if we cannot name, acknowledge, and oppose the forces of racism and all forms of bias, hate, and fear that exist in our society and that seek to diminish so many in our midst.  Knowing this, we commit ourselves to the work of anti-racism and to the cause of justice: that all students may find in Grace a home, may learn from Grace their precious worth, and may hear from Grace a call to serve the common good and the dignity of humanity.

About the Position:

The High School Division at Grace Church School seeks part-time math and/or science consultants for the school’s Math & Science Center.  Most tutoring will take place on campus, with Zoom as an additional option. 

The ideal Math & Science Center consultant is reliable, an exceptional listener, clear communicator, interested in working with high school students, and embody anti-racist ideals in practice. Consultants must attend orientation meetings and participate in an in-house certification process with Math & Science Coordinators.

Additional opportunities for substitute teaching may also be available on occasion

Note that a “consultant” is much like a tutor but with more emphasis on encouraging the student to take the initiative in the session.  In practice, the terms “consultant” and “tutor” get used interchangeably.

Qualifications:

  • Experience with high school tutoring or teaching experience are preferred.
  • Working knowledge of one or more of these subjects: Algebra, Geometry, Precalculus, Calculus, Statistics, Physics, Chemistry, or Biology.  Experience with multiple subject areas preferred
  • Possess a high degree of emotional intelligence, flexibility, and strong interpersonal skills.
  • Commitment to antiracism and accessibility of student education for diverse learners.
  • Openness to feedback and excellent communication skills.
  • Proficient computer skills and management of online information.

Primary Duties:

  • Tutoring students in math and/or science over Zoom, one-on-one or in small groups, for an estimated 3-10 hours per week
  • Apply creative and flexible approaches in response to students’ diverse learning needs
  • Complete online summary reports regarding a student’s progress following the tutoring session
  • Collaborate with Math and Science teachers, Class Deans, fellow tutors, Math & Science Center Coordinators, and Director of High School Learning Support

Hours of Operation

Monday - Friday 8:00-9:00 am, 12:00-2:00 pm, 3:20-5:00 pm, potential for evening Zoom hours.

Please note that consultants need not be available for ALL sessions. However, consultants are asked to reliably commit to a regular schedule on a semester basis. 

Compensation: $30/hour

Interested applicants can apply by submitting a résumé and cover letter through the employment page of our school website.
