Save to Favorites

Recruiting Organization: Center of Life

Fusion provides homework assistance, tutoring, educational enrichment activities, and a meal for youth in grades K-8. In coordination with Pittsburgh Public Schools, Duquesne University, and other academic and community partners, students are exposed to interactive, developmentally-appropriate activities focused on the areas of science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math.

As a 1:1 after-school tutor, you will work closely with students in grades K-8, providing personalized academic assistance and guidance. Your role will be to help students with their homework, reinforce concepts covered in class, and engage them in enrichment activities that foster their love for learning. You will work with individual students, tailoring your approach to suit their unique learning needs, and help build their confidence in various subjects. Volunteering as an after-school tutor is a rewarding experience that allows you to give back to the community and make a lasting impact on young students' lives. You'll have the opportunity to develop your teaching and mentoring skills while witnessing the growth and progress of the students you support.

Program runs Monday through Thursday from 3:30-7 beginning September 11. Each shift will last one hour within that time frame. We ask all volunteers to commit to at least 1 hour per week for a full semester to establish healthy relationships with our youth.

Requirements:

1. A genuine passion for working with children and helping them succeed academically.
2. Patience, empathy, and excellent communication skills to connect with young learners effectively.
3. Proficiency in K-8 subjects, particularly in areas like math, English, science, and social studies.
4. Reliable commitment to the after-school tutoring schedule (at least 1 hour per week for at least one semester).
5. An understanding of diverse learning styles and the ability to adapt your teaching approach accordingly.
6. A PA state background check, a DHS child abuse clearance, and a FBI fingerprint clearance.
