The Trenton MFRC in partnership with the Hastings & Prince Edward District School Board (HPEDSB), is launching a new Youth Resiliency Tutor Program offering free, small group and one-on-one tutoring to students in grades 1 - 12 who are attending a HPEDSB school. This program will require an organized and dedicated employee with a passion for helping youth facing educational challenges.
The Literacy & Numeracy Tutor will be responsible for overseeing and assisting with all aspects of the implementation and execution of the tutoring program. This includes and is not limited to; program planning, promotion, intake, scheduling, and follow up. The tutor will act as the main point of contact for parents and handle any inquiries with the guidance and assistance of the Youth Resiliency Program Coordinator. Lastly, the Literacy & Numeracy Tutor will oversee and assist with the creation of take-home resources for students that reinforce the skills learned during tutoring sessions.
The Literacy & Numeracy Tutor must be knowledgeable in basic literacy (reading & writing) and numeracy skills and be comfortable working with diverse youth populations between grades 1 - 12.
COVID-19 vaccinations are mandatory as per Trenton MFRC policies.
The hours of work are 37.5 hours per week and are structured based on the needs of the program and will include evenings as required.
The Literacy & Numeracy Tutor will:
- Be a current Faculty of Education student or a Supply Teacher
