DRAFT AD FOR RETIRED PROFESSIONALS AS TUTORS:

Embudo Valley Tutoring Association seeks retired professionals to tutor high need 

elementary students in the Espanola School District:

EVTA is a 501 C (3) non profit that provides free tutoring services to high need students

in a few schools in the Espanola Independent School District during the school day 

and/or after school in Reading/Language and Math.  We are seeking committed,

retired professionals who are interested in supporting children who need one-on-one

support.  All positions are part time.

How assignments are made:

EVTA coordinates between the school’s schedule and needs and the prospective tutor’s

availability.  Each EVTA student must receive a minimum of two full sessions (45 min – 1 hour)

per week in order to be effective.  So the tutor would, ideally, serve at least two hours two

days a week. The focus of the tutoring sessions is on building the student’s skills so they can 

perform at grade level.  Many of them are a year or two behind.

Applicants with education or tutoring experience are encouraged to apply.  Those with no experience working with children will be provided training by EVTA.  All that is required is that the tutor have a good rapport, and feel comfortable working with children up to 6th grade.  EVTA does ask that the tutors make at least a 

One year commitment.

The wage is approximately $20 per hour.  (EVTA must raise all monies from private foundations.)

A lengthy background check by the school district is required.  So the sooner you apply, the better.
