Job Description

The Huntington Learning Center of Fairfax (Brightminds Inc) has partnered with Friendship SE Middle and Elementary Schools in SE Washington DC to provide reading tutoring to students going into 4th-8th grade this summer. We are an authorized HIT (high impact tutoring) provider through OSSE, working with high-priority DC schools. Most of our tutoring locations are in SE DC. This summer and next school year, we are working specifically at Friendship SE Elementary and Middle Schools at 645 Milwaukee Place SE.

Sessions will be built into the summer school schedule, which will run from 6/24/24-7/25/2024. Sessions will be in the morning, with the specific time still being worked out with school staff.

This program is being funded by a grant to provide HIT (High Impact Tutoring) to students in an effort to recover from learning loss during the pandemic. Teachers will use proven, individualized academic programs working with students with up to a 4:1 ratio. The goal of the program is to help students bring their foundational academic skills up to grade level by starting at the level so they can work confidently at school. Every student has their own program, and we adjust it based on your feedback to make sure we get the most out of each session.

Teachers are expected to engage and interact with their students; we are looking for individuals in the community who see the importance of reading fluency and comprehension skills and are passionate about helping our students become better students. We know that this will make our students more confident and provide the foundation they will need to be successful in all of their classes moving forward. We have a proven, individualized academic program for every student based on an academic evaluation. There is no prep, planning or looking for curriculum. You will be paid for simply teaching the assigned program to your assigned students, each at their own pace. Teachers always have the option to adjust their availability as needed.

If you have a college degree, and are available to come work with students at Friendship SE in the mornings this summer, we have immediate openings to start working with your own group of up to 4 students as a primary teacher. You would work in a Friendship classroom with a Friendship teacher who teaches at the school. You will work with your own assigned group of up to 4 students from the beginning to the end of this summer program.

We will also be offering sessions at 2 SOME (So Others May Eat) housing locations in SE DC this summer. We will also be continuing sessions during the school year at Friendship next school year. There are additional opportunities to continue teaching with us after this summer.

This is a great opportunity to make a difference in our community, and we look forward to sharing more about this exciting opportunity!
