Training Process

We require that hired tutors complete a 7-week Tutor Training Program that includes 3 weeks of tutoring (concurrent with training), during which you will tutor approximately 1-4 students. Below is a description of the time required for the Tutor Training Program and the practicum.

Tutor Training Program:

• Successful applicants must complete our Tutor Training Program.
• Training runs Monday - Friday, 5 days a week, for the entirety of the Tutor Training Program.
• Tutors join learning groups based on their availability with the below options being first come, first serve.
  • Options: 11 AM - 1 PM ET, 1 PM - 3 PM ET, and 3 PM - 5 PM ET
• Tutors commit to 2-hour classes daily, plus a minimum of 1 hour of tutoring daily in what we call “practicum” for the remaining 3 weeks of the training program.
• The Tutor Training Program consists of alternating synchronous, live sessions led by an Ignite Reading staff member, and asynchronous learning experiences, online virtual courses you complete independently. For example, tutors will be in live, synchronous classes up to 3 days a week and complete asynchronous learning 2 days a week. Attendance at live courses requires that tutors be on camera, in a stable location, and with strong internet in order to fully participate. Meeting deadlines for asynchronous courses is mandatory for the entirety of the 7-week program.

Practicum: To successfully complete your practicum, you must provide a minimum of 3 hours a day of availability between 8:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. ET. This availability can coincide with your training during the program, but must continue after you graduate from training.. This provides us with adequate options for scheduling your students five days a week at the same times each day. You may choose the tutoring times you are available.

You must meet these requirements to join this cohort.
