WHAT TO EXPECT AS A TUTOR :

Compensation : The compensation for this role is $18 per hour for delivery of tutoring sessions and $15 per hour for lesson preparation and professional development. Tutors will be employed and paid via a 3rd party staffing agency as a W2 contracted employee. Tutors are compensated for each 30-minute tutoring session as well as 30 minutes of lesson preparation time for each tutoring session held. Tutors are also compensated for their initial training and ongoing professional development throughout the year.

Background Checks : If selected, fingerprinting and background checks will be required. Tutors cannot work with students prior to clearance. Initial fingerprinting costs average $50-$150. Tutors are reimbursed for costs associated with fingerprinting after submission of receipts.

Equipment : Curriculum is provided to the tutor. Tutors must be able to supply their own laptop / computer, with webcam and microphone, and headphones that can be used during their tutoring assignment and / or during professional development activities and meetings. Chromebooks, iPads / tablets, and smart phones cannot be used for this role.

Location : This is a remote part-time position. All candidates must physically reside within the state of Maryland in the United States and meet U.S. employment eligibility requirements. Tutors should have a private, quiet location free from distractions to work from.

Scheduling : Tutors can request to work between 9 to 39 hours per week. Most tutors work between 9 and 15 hours per week during the school year. Tutoring sessions are conducted exclusively on weekdays, with no weekend classes. Tutors must be available for a 15-minute early login prior to their session start. Each tutoring assignment lasts approximately 15 weeks. We ask our tutors to commit to the assigned tutoring group for the entire duration. Amplify works to fill each tutor's desired number of hours; however, we cannot guarantee immediate or overall work at the volume requested, as this is highly dependent on the tutor's availability matching ongoing school district needs. Tutoring sessions are held according to individual school schedules and may be affected by school closures or session cancellations (ex. holidays, state and local testing, weather, etc.).

Lesson Planning and Delivery : Planning and delivering tutoring lessons are the foundation of our work. Tutoring sessions are delivered using our structured research-based curriculum. Tutors are compensated for both planning and delivering their tutoring sessions. Tutors are initially hired and trained to conduct literacy-based lessons. Once they have demonstrated their success, tutors may have the opportunity to obtain additional endorsements in math tutoring (grades 3 - 5), administering literacy assessments, and other special projects.

Culture and Community : At Amplify, we truly value our tutors. We provide various resources like ongoing professional training and supportive coaching to help them get better at what they do. We also have online platforms for tutors to connect, share ideas, and learn from each other.
