Volunteer

About the role

We are looking for friendly, helpful, reliable students who love working with children! No experience is needed! As an instructor/tutor, you will be working with students ranging in ages generally from 4 (pre-kindergarteners) to 13 (older middle school). We will train you thoroughly on Gideon Math & Reading curriculum and methods. Our goal for each student is for him to achieve any school goals he may have, whether it is to catch up, keep up, or stay ahead of grade-level work.

Gideon is an after-school math and reading center that builds confidence through academic mastery. Through our step-by-step curriculum, we strengthen and grow a child’s education by going at the student’s pace and only progressing into the next topic once the child shows competency. Gideon is a fun, calm learning environment to help children catch up, keep up, and stay ahead! You get to help kids and not work early mornings or late nights. Gideon is passionate about building a child’s confidence to show them what is possible with some extra practice in math and reading.
