The City Tutors (CT) provides academic support for College Now students in Physics. We are currently looking for tutor to be embedded in the classroom for the Fall semester of 2017.
The Saturday classs meets from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Saturdays.
This is a great opportunity for students who are majoring (or have already earned a degree) in the course area and are interested in enhancing their content knowledge through tutoring, and/or are interested in exploring their subject area at the cross section of education.
As an embedded tutor, you will collaborate with an instructor to improve students’ performance, while being supported and guided by an experienced academic support professional.
All embedded tutors for the College Now classes are expected to commit to four hours per class session. You will sit in on the class, and sometimes provide tutoring support after class (or on a different day if that's more agreeable) depending on students’ availability and interest.
You would identify and support students who are struggling, participate during the lecture to augment the class topic discussions, and provide feedback to the instructor regarding students' concerns and difficulties that can lead to changes in future lessons. You might also design assignments, identify/track students who are struggling and create differentiated instruction as the need arises.
CT's embedded tutoring program has been successful in helping students gain access to support that they otherwise would not have received, given their limited time spent on campus. Having a tutor in the class early in the semester will allow us to employ strategies to reduce withdrawals and student failure rates. Your work with us would help the students’ overall subject area performance, and help us improve this educational support model, reaching more students and departments with comprehensive academic support..
To apply, you must:
- Have received an A- or A in the introduction to the subject course you are applying to tutor
- Have a GPA at or above 3.2, or have completed a degree in physics or other related sciences
- Submit biweekly reports, and meet through Google Hangout/in person with the director on a biweekly basis.
- Be willing to complete 11.5 hours of College Reading and Learning Aligned (CRLA) training.
Training days will be determined based on your schedule and that of the Tutor Training Coordinators.

Mission Statement
The City Tutors (CT) is a NYC wide volunteer tutoring and mentoring hub that ensures historically underserved communities have equitable access to resources that are fundamental to educational and professional success.
Description
Our vision is to create a hub where any New Yorker can leverage their academic and professional skills and content knowledge to uplift their community and where disadvantaged communities can access resources that they need.
We see tutoring as a way to empower individuals to work in the community. We provide flexible times, convenient locations, and meaningful experiences, allowing more community members to participate and to support community partners for longer.
We believe tutoring must be a reflective act that both helps strengthen individuals' support of others and helps individuals better understand themselves. We provide our tutors with access to industry mentors who help connect the work they are doing with us with what they've done in the past and what they want to do in the future.
We believe in leveraging the workforce skills of our community of volunteers by pairing those in need of professional support with industry experts who can provide insight into specific fields and feedback on professional documents.
We see the City Tutors as an opportunity to bring people together under a common purpose. We want like-minded individuals to feel they are part of a fellowship, to build their network with people within their discipline, and to expand the disciplines and industries they've been exposed to.
