One-on-One Refugee Tutor

Provide individualized instruction to a refugee learner (or small family unit) on a recurring basis, tailoring pace and content to that person's specific needs - often language acquisition, literacy, or academic subject support.

Responsibilities:

• Meet with an assigned learner on a consistent weekly schedule (in-person or virtual)
• Assess the learner's current level and adjust lesson plans accordingly
• Track progress and share brief updates with the program coordinator
• Maintain patience and cultural sensitivity given language barriers and trauma histories
• Communicate promptly if a session needs to be rescheduled

Qualifications:

• Hard working high school students comfortable with teaching bare minimum the English language
• Comfortable working one-on-one with adults or children from diverse cultural backgrounds
• Reliable, punctual, and able to commit to the same learner over time

Time Commitment:

1-2 hours per week, ideally for a minimum of one semester/3-month term to build rapport and momentum with the learner.
