Tutor Expectations  and Resources

Tutor Expectations

ATTENDANCE: Tutors are asked to commit to one day a week for the entire semester. Please be consistent; your students will expect you and appreciate your regular routine! We understand that scheduling issues may arise, so if you are going be absent, please email us to let us know in advance.

GRADE LEVELS & FLEXIBILITY: At the beginning of the semester, tutors choose a particular grade (Pre-K through 5th) for which they feel best suited; however, please be flexible and recognize that we will place you where you're needed. One or two tutors sit at each table, depending on the number of tutors present. There are two to four children at each table. The goal is to have just two children to work with; unfortunately at times there are not enough tutors, so expect to tutor more than two children some days and invite your friends to come tutor with you!

CREATIVITY & LEARNING: During tutoring, tutors are strongly encouraged to use various provided lesson plans, flash cards, and their own creativity to reinforce academic principles in all major subjects. They work with students practicing math, penmanship, reading, writing, science, and social studies. They also help students complete all homework assignments before recess. Tutors then supervise and engage in recess activities with the children.

HOURS REQUIRED: Tutoring Monday through Thursday begins at 2:30 and ends at 5:00, with recess time outside. At 4:40, the children are dismissed, and tutors meet inside F-8 building with Oasis Team for a brief discussion / in-service meeting. Tutors are dismissed at 5:00 PM.

HELPFUL MATERIALS: Below, you will find some schedules and helpful materials to prepare you to be as effective as possible for our students! Please look over the ones appropriate to your grade level. Feel free to speak with us if you have any questions!
