Gain valuable teaching experience! Oxford Learning Kanata is currently seeking part-time teacher-tutors for a role in our learning centre. This position is perfect for anyone who loves working with students, enjoys language, grammar and writing, and is passionate about helping others build their skills in these areas. Our program helps students with academic struggles while also developing cognitive skills - a love of teaching students HOW to learn is a must!
The Role:
At Oxford Learning Kanata, we help students improve their academic and study skills in small groups. Our class sizes are small with a maximum of three students per teacher. Our teachers explain and guide students through the provided material and support students with their schoolwork while teaching crucial learning skills and having fun. You will have flexibility in delivering the material to each student (in fact, we encourage that!), but you must follow all Oxford Learning philosophies and methodologies (training will be provided).
You will not be required to lesson plan or create student learning materials - we do that for you! Your role includes reporting on concepts covered and cognitive skills discussed, monitoring and reporting on student progress, and ensuring student programming moves appropriately, all during your shift - you will never be expected to bring work home.
