Job description

High School Math & Science Teachers Wanted for Fun After-School Tutoring!

Sylvan Learning Center is looking for fun, dedicated teachers and tutors to help and inspire students. We are currently looking for teachers and tutors who are able to teach Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II, and Pre-Calculus. Statistics, Calculus, and high-school sciences are a plus.

As a Sylvan instructor, you will be tasked with working with students of all ages. While your primary focus will be helping high school students with their math homework, you may occasionally be called upon to work with late-elementary and middle school students with our pre-built curriculums. These are easy-to-teach, pre-planned lessons which involve explaining a topic to a student, and then having the student work independently using what they just learned. You will also play a key role in motivating and connecting with each student, so they feel inspired to learn.

What you should know

  • If you enjoy working with and inspiring students, this is the job for you. (We want you to be happy here!)
  • Each student will typically ask questions about their classwork or homework for the day. Sometimes they will need help preparing for a test
  • For some students, you will use pre-planned lessons. They are straightforward, easy to manage, and fun to teach
  • Teach students in a small group setting. There will be no more than 3 students per teacher.
  • Most teachers choose to work 2-5 days/week
  • This is NOT a remote position

Job Requirements

  • Four year degree required in a discipline requiring 3 or more years of college level math
  • Advanced knowledge and familiarity with teacher or tutoring in the areas of Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry and Trigonometry, Calculus
  • Minimum of one or two years teaching or tutoring experience preferred
  • Ability to multi-task
  • Knowledge of general office equipment such as copiers, printers, and office phones
  • Knowledge of tablet computers preferred

Benefits

• Competitive Pay for fun and easy work.

• Paid training and opportunities for professional development.

• Flexible part-time work hours. We work around your availability!

• Come in, work for a couple of hours, and leave happy with no additional work to take home!

• Fun, enjoyable, and relaxing work environment with lots of support from fellow teachers and staff!

• Happy, understanding, and caring management. You will love working here!
