The Position & Schedule

We are seeking organized and inspiring Guides to lead our full-term participant groups ("cohorts") for the upcoming academic year.

  • Potential Alternative/Add-On Shift Availability: We may potentially expand to include an afternoon 3-hour cohort (1:00 PM – 4:00 PM, M-Th).

Key Responsibilities

  • Curate, Don’t Just Deliver: Use our library of premium workbooks and resources (covering chemistry, science, reading comprehension, handwriting, vocabulary, virtues, life skills, art, and more!) to customize, tailor, and lead engaging subject blocks.

  • Maintain Structure with Empathy: Foster an emotionally secure, structured environment. Dynamically coach students through enrichment, academic support, and social blocks, recognizing and supporting children who may feel overwhelmed.

  • Maintain Collaborative Standards: Work closely with leadership if additional student resources or activities are needed. (All outside materials must pass formal leadership approval before entering the classroom).
