Math or Reading Tutor during school year

Save to Favorites

Help students attain grade level reading and math in 2nd-5th grade! Students who are not at grade level by thrid grade are much less likely to graduate from high school.We are looking for Math and Reading tutors for our interventional programs at Hamilton School. We are in need of tutors interested for the 2024/25 school year.

Please read the description of our program below. We are only limited by the number of tutors that can volunteer on a Tuesday or Wednesday morning!

The Programs: RISE Scholars, Incorporated provides two Interventional Tutoring Programs for elementary grade students at the Hamilton Meadow Park School in Novato: RISE in Reading (RIR) and RISE in Math (RIM).We pull the students out of class once a week for 45-minute sessions in a dedicated Clinic on campus. Each student works with a trained volunteer: 1:1 for RIR and 1:2 for RIM. The tutor guides their student/s through a customized and proven curriculum, based on Common Core Standards. The reading curriculum is specialized, hands-on and phonics based. The math curriculum is delivered through a popular online program called IXL. Both curriculums move the student step-by-step through sequenced skills, to find and fill in the holes in their learning. Tutors work alongside, giving encouragement, and direct instruction.

The Results: 92% of students advance to grade level, and 100% advance at least 1.5 grade levels, while they ALL become more confident, engaged and independent learners.

The Tutoring Commitment: Two hours one morning a week during the school calendar year. 2-3 hours of initial training.

The Reward: We train and support our tutors so that they're given the tools they need to deliver effective help to their assigned student/s. Every session, our tutors see student progress, and feel the difference they are making.
