The City Tutors (CT) provides in-class academic support for a math class (a total of little more than 30 students) at Community Health Academy High School (located a block away from the 157th stop on the 1 train). The teacher has really enjoyed working with City Tutors, and we would like to continue to support her course in Spring 2019 The times of the classes are to be determined, but expected to run from 10am - 2:50PM Monday-Friday.
This is a great opportunity for individuals who have a strong foundation in the material, and are interested in gaining practical experience working in the classroom.
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 commit three hours for the week. 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 will speak with the instructor weekly to prep for the next class and debrief after the tutoring session
You would identify and support students who are struggling 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. Your work with us would help the students’ overall subject area performance, and help us improve this educational support model at the site.
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 received a degree recently.
- Be willing to complete 11.5 hours of College Reading and Learning Aligned (CRLA) training at City College of New York.
We can accommodate your schedule for the training sessions.

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.
