Job Description

Part-Time Tutors

About Us

At Joyfully Learning & the Greer Meister Group, we believe that kids learn best when they’re having fun. We provide our students with an unparalleled level of support and engagement through our strengths-based approach to one-on-one tutoring. We meet children where they are, and we connect learning to each child’s interests. Every child we work with is heard and respected, and parents are empowered to advocate for how their children learn best.

We believe that kids deserve joy in learning and that there’s nothing more fulfilling than seeing a child’s “Aha!” moment when they make a learning breakthrough.

The tutors on our team have diverse interests and pursuits, and we nurture a culture of supporting each other’s work both as tutors and outside of tutoring. Whether it's through dance, drawing, storytelling, baking, or something entirely new, our tutors are empowered to bring their passions and pursuits to their work on our team to help our students thrive.

About the Role

We are looking to add a wonderful, enthusiastic, part-time, in-person tutor to our team.

We have openings for tutors in the following subject areas:

- Advanced Math and Science (AP Calc AB/BC would be a plus!)

- PreK-5 and Emerging Literacy

- Standardized Test Prep (SAT, ACT, ISEE, and/or SHSAT)

If that sounds like you, you might be a great addition to our team!

Our tutors work on a part-time basis, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 3:00 - 9:00pm, anywhere from 6 to 30 hours per week. Unlike traditional teaching or tutoring, we are flexible and allow our tutors to set their own availability.

Candidates who do best in this role have a passion for education but aren’t currently teaching full-time in a traditional classroom setting.

What you’ll be responsible for:

  • Teaching students one-on-one at a location of our client’s choosing (home, library, etc.)
  • We may ask you to tutor via video conferencing from time to time, however we are primarily an in-person organization and are only hiring tutors with availability for in-person instruction
  • Maintaining consistent communication with clients, colleagues, and team leadership
  • Participating in occasional trainings and team-building activities
  • Learning from and sharing your knowledge with other members of the team

What we’ll love about you:

  • You have previous experience working with students on Advanced Math and Science, Emerging Literacy, or Standardized Test Prep.
  • You’re excited when a student achieves those “Aha!” moments.
  • You strongly believe that kids learn best when they're having fun.
  • You believe that every child deserves to be heard and respected, and parents deserve to be empowered to advocate for their children’s needs.
  • You’re flexible and eager to meet each child where that child is and adapt your work to meet each child's needs.
  • You show flexibility, empathy, and understanding.
  • You are able to travel to meet students in their homes in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
  • You have excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
  • You have a desire to learn new skills and strive to always be learning and growing.
  • You pride yourself on your flexible thinking and your ability to plan and prioritize tasks.

What you’ll love about us:

  • We offer flexible scheduling that works with your daily life.
  • We offer highly competitive compensation.
  • We provide opportunities to continue your professional development through employer-paid courses and training.
  • We are a team of kind, supportive, and caring individuals who learn and grow together.
  • We encourage our tutors to be creative with their lessons, and we value your insights into what works best for each child; we don’t demand you follow a rigidly-prescribed curriculum.
  • We are dedicated to a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach.
  • Our team brings beautifully diverse experiences to our work, and we love supporting each other’s work outside of tutoring! We have tutors on our team who are authors, scientists, journalists, visual artists, dancers, actors, musicians, private and public school teachers, college professors, and more.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s Degree (or higher)
  • Minimum of six hours of availability Monday - Thursday between the hours of 3:00pm-9:00pm
  • Availability to teach in-person in Manhattan and Brooklyn
  • Willingness to teach via video conferencing (i.e. Zoom, FaceTime, or equivalent)
  • If applying for the Standardized Test Prep position: You have previous experience and proven success working with students on all sections of the ISEE, SHSAT, and/or SAT and ACT Preparation.
  • If applying for the PreK-5 and Emerging Literacy position: You have previous experience working with emerging literacy students and students who have language-based learning differences, preferably using the Orton-Gillingham approach. If you don’t already have Orton-Gillingham experience, you must be willing to attend a summer training.
