We are recruiting tutors for our Noah's Table Tutoring Program. We provide tutoring in math, reading, english, social studies/history. Tutors work with students in grades 1-8 that attend the Fairfield City Schools. Tutoring is based on student need and teacher assessments. Bilingual tutors are welcome. Tutors do not need to be proficient in every subject, we assign based on tutor strength and choice.

Prerequisite skills and qualifications for Tutors include:

• Written and verbal communication skills
• Basic school curriculum skills and knowledge
• Knowledge of test preparation, subject knowledge and successful study methods
• Ability to use calculators, and other learning tools
• Time management skills
• Problem-solving skills

Tutors keep students motivated and interested in the subjects that they teach, instilling a passion for knowledge and continued education. Help students finish assignments and check their work. Tutors may specialize in one or several subjects. Tutors can offer essential assistance for students dealing with learning challenges or those hoping to get higher test scores.

Some other duties and responsibilities include (as needed):

• Teaching notetaking, studying, planning, organization and other effective learning skills
• Helping students to set goals for themselves and motivating them to achieve those goals
• Distributing informative study guides and other teaching materials
• Keeping the area where they teach neat and organized
• Your main responsibility is to help students learn, reviewing content with them, explaining how to solve problems and checking completed work. You may also be asked to help students develop study skills and organization techniques to help improve their academic performance. This may be done in a one-on-one or group setting. Tutors must keep progress reports on students and share those reports with supervisor. In addition to the academic component, tutors serve as role models.

Schedule

• Tutoring can be during the regular school year, usually between the hours of 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. and Saturdays between 1 & 3 (this is optional). As a tutor, you may work with the same student each time or work with a different student, depending on the needs of the students.

As a tutor, you must have patience, as many students you work with will have trouble understanding the content you are trying to help them with. You must also have a positive attitude and know ways to motivate students when they become frustrated by material they do not understand.
