The City Tutors (CT) is looking for an embedded tutor to provide academic support for a Methods and Techniques of Sociological Research course this Fall. Classes meet twice a week, but tutors only need to attend one of those days weekly. The class will meet Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30am - 10:45am.
This is a great opportunity for students or who are majoring (or have already earned a degree) in the course area to enhance their knowledge and experience, and for those who are interested in tutoring in their subject area of interest. In this role, you will be in communication with an instructor to improve students’ performance. Throughout this process, you will be supported and guided by an experienced academic support professional.
The embedded tutor for this Sociology class is expected to commit a minimum of 1 hour and 15 minutes per class session they attend. 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. You will be supported throughout this process by the City Tutors staff.
Requirements
All tutors are also expected to complete a four session comprehensive, professional training regimen. 6 hours of live training, plus another hour and a half for orientation. This is a commitment of 7.5 hours of in person training, and 4 hours of supplemental training for a total of 11.5 hours of training over the course of the Fall semester.
Training days will be determined based on your schedule and that of the Tutor Training Coordinators.
The course will involve quantitative analysis, and may require working with students on making and interpreting charts and tables (cross-tabulations) of collected survey date using spreadsheets. Representative videos are included below:

The course will also include participant-observations/observations of organizations that supporting aging in place, and content analysis of organizations' social media.
About CT
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 program
Submit monthly reports, keep a log sheet of any tutoring appointments done outside of class, and regularly communicate with the tutor training coordinator.

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.
