We are looking for experienced English & Humanities tutors dedicated to making education more equitable to join our team in the fall (September start date).

Be at ease during your summer off, knowing you have a job with us waiting for you.

Our tutors are language and writing experts who approach essay review as tutors rather than as editors or proofreaders using The Paper Method: A Customized Methodology to engage with students asynchronously and help them develop their skills and confidence by providing individualized guidance and step-by-step support through our Review Center.

You'll have the chance to hone your essay review and tutoring skills, all while making a meaningful difference in students' lives by helping them improve their academic, professional, and personal writing skills. We have tutors online around the clock covering many different subjects, and as a Paper Tutor, you will receive students in any of the topics that you are proficient in (which you identify in your application). When working in the Paper classroom, you may be tutoring several students at once, working on varying topics at different grade and ability levels!

Responsibilities:

• Chat-based Live Tutoring: Manage tutoring sessions with multiple students (simultaneously) in your area of expertise.
• Voice Notes Tutoring: Communicate with students through asynchronous audio messages (think "Walkie-Talkie") - a great option for younger students with emerging literacy and keyboard fluency, as well as other K-12 students with assistive technology needs.
• Essay Review: Provide constructive feedback and suggestions on student essays and other written assignments.
• Respectfully encourage critical thinking in students who have diverse beliefs, opinions, and experiences while being aware of your own biases.
