Virtual Tutor Jobs in Vermont (NOW HIRING)

What We're Building

Mansfield Hall is a living and learning community for neurodivergent college students, students who are capable of college but not yet fully ready for total independence. We organize the work around four areas: Living (independent living skills), Learning (academic and executive functioning), Giving (community involvement), and Engaging (social and emotional growth). Coaches are how all four of those actually happen. Not in a classroom, in the moment, every day.

What You'll Actually Do

• Deliver individualized academic coaching, tutoring, and direct support to students with diverse learning needs
• Facilitate daily Structured Study Time, helping students organize assignments and manage deadlines
• Meet one on one with students regularly to assess progress and adjust strategies
• Strengthen student skills in organization, time management, project planning, and study habits
• Monitor academic indicators such as attendance, grades, and course difficulty
• Connect students with tutoring centers, libraries, and accessibility services
• Guide goal setting across academics, social development, and independent living
• Maintain accurate documentation and collaborate with Academic Directors, other Academic Coaches, and Student Life staff

Why This Might Not Be the Job for You

• You'd rather complete tasks for students than coach them through doing it themselves
• You get frustrated when progress is gradual. Executive functioning growth is slow and non-linear, and some weeks look like no progress at all
• You want a highly predictable workday
• You're uncomfortable giving clear, direct feedback
• You see coaching mainly as homework help rather than teaching a student to manage their own workload

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in behavioral sciences, education, psychology, social work, human services, or a related field
• At least one year of experience in academic tutoring, coaching, or mentoring
• A working understanding of what college actually demands of students day to day
• Strong written and verbal communication, and the ability to manage multiple students, deadlines, and priorities at once
• A belief that students are capable, and a habit of balancing empathy with accountability

Compensation & Benefits

This role pays $22/hr. Alongside your hourly wage, full-time coaches at Mansfield Hall also receive:

• Medical insurance, with the premium cost shared between Mansfield Hall and the employee, plus an HSA option
• Employer-funded wellness dollars
• Free meals and drinks during your shift
• 401(k) retirement plan with a 4% employer match
• Paid time off, plus paid winter break
• Disability and life insurance coverage
• Work expense reimbursement
