About the position

We are looking for an individual to work with students of all grade levels in one-on-one tutoring of content knowledge and executive functioning skills. Content needs include but are not limited to: support for students in Spanish classes as well as others who would like to improve their knowledge of Spanish outside of a formal Spanish class. Candidates must be fluent in both English and Spanish. Our approach is relationship-based and focuses on social/emotional learning. We prioritize trust and rapport building, making reliability a critical requirement.

We work with a diverse population of public and private students in the Seattle area with varying backgrounds, needs, and subject areas. This is an in-person position at our Green Lake office, though some students may choose to meet remotely. Because relationships and trust are at the forefront of our work, all tutors are requested to commit to keeping their assigned students through the school year.
