Open Positions
Academic Tutor
Bay Area, CA
Part-Time
Pay: $30-$45/hr
Job Description and Details
Aspire has more than 20 years of experience delivering high quality, affordable educational services for students throughout the Bay Area. We partner with schools and youth-serving organizations like Girls Inc of Alameda County, the YMCA of the East Bay, and the Boys and Girls Club of San Francisco to deliver effective tutoring and mentorship to students throughout the Bay Area.
As an after-school academic tutor, you will work with students in small groups, providing engaging, student-centered tutoring that builds motivation, confidence, and academic growth. All our tutoring programs take place in person. As an Aspire tutor, you’ll give back to the community while developing high-demand skills including communication, problem-solving, and creativity.
Location and Schedule
On-site (e.g, in person) at schools and youth-serving institutions
Oakland, San Francisco, and West Contra Costa (Richmond, San Pablo)

Aspire can work with you to design a predictable schedule that works with your other commitments, including adjusting midyear if needed.
Two to four shifts per week; each shift lasts two hours.
Key Responsibilities
Your most important responsibility is to build relationships with the students you serve; mentorship is at the heart of Aspire’s approach to tutoring. You’re not expected to develop lesson plans; you’ll be focused on providing homework help to students and using the materials that Aspire provides in order to support students with their academic needs.
Provide academic support across multiple subject areas, primarily reading and math.
Teach and tutor groups of ~3-5 elementary students in an engaging and interactive way.
Monitor and track student attendance and progress throughout the program.
Communicate regularly with Aspire and partner staff regarding attendance, engagement, and growth.

(preferred) Spanish language skills
