After-School Math Elementary/Middle School Tutor – WCUSD Campuses

Location: West Covina Unified School District campusesJob Type: Part-time, limited-termPay: $21 per hourSchedule: Monday–Friday, beginning as early as 1:00 p.m.

Sylvan Learning of West Covina is hiring up to 15 teachers and tutors for an upcoming after-school math intervention program at West Covina Unified School District campuses for elementary and middle school.

This is an in-person, school-site position designed for educators who want to make a meaningful impact without creating curriculum, writing lesson plans from scratch, grading papers, or taking work home. Sylvan provides the curriculum, lesson materials, manipulatives, training, and ongoing support.

What the Position Looks Like

Tutors will provide live, teacher-led math instruction to groups of up to eight students. Students will be grouped according to their instructional needs, and tutors will follow Sylvan’s structured Ace It! Math program.

Consistency is very important to our students and school partners. Once assigned, tutors are expected to remain with the same classroom and student groups for the full 12- or 24-week program.

Daily shifts will range from approximately 1.5 to 4 hours, depending on the campus schedule and number of groups assigned. We will make every effort to provide as many back-to-back instructional hours as possible based on each tutor’s availability. However, specific daily hours cannot be guaranteed.

Applicants with consistent availability on multiple afternoons will receive priority consideration.
