The tutor should align with our values around curiosity-driven learning and be capable of building a long-term trajectory that leads the student from foundational arithmetic through advanced elementary mathematics. Curriculum familiarity and the ability to clearly explain the roadmap are required.

• Attend bi-weekly Tutor Council meetings to share insights, progress, and concerns
• Submit a short feedback form after each lesson assessing effort, knowledge mastery, and observations
• Assign and review homework regularly

Requirements

• Daily availability at the specified time
• Proven experience teaching math to children aged :5
• Ability to design a clear, motivating learning journey through foundational and intermediate math
• Strong presence: kind, flexible, but able to set and hold structure
• Deep alignment with learner-centered, intrinsic motivation-based pedagogy
• Skilled at feedback, progress tracking, and coordination with the education team

Qualifications

• Degree in Education, Mathematics, or related field (preferred)
• Training or certification in child development, pedagogy, or elementary math education (preferred)
