The Job:

SmartStart Education seeks two High School ELA Tutors and one High School Math Tutor to provide small-group tutoring services to students in Middletown, Ohio. Tutors will work with small groups of 1–4 students who have been identified as struggling with fundamental ELA or Math skills.

This position involves working at two school locations throughout the afternoon. Tutors will begin their day providing academic support to high school students, including after-school tutoring. Following the high school assignment, tutors will travel approximately 12 minutes to a nearby elementary school to provide additional after-school tutoring services.

Groups may take place within the classroom (push-in services) or outside of the classroom (pull-out services). Tutors should be flexible and comfortable with both settings. Each tutor will be responsible for taking daily attendance and monitoring student progress using a personal device (mobile phone).

Job Details:

The tutoring position begins promptly on January 5, 2027, and ends on May 20, 2027. The schedule will be Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, with assignments at two school locations:

• High School Assignment: 11:00 AM – 3:15 PM (including after-school tutoring).

• Elementary School Assignment: 3:55 PM – 5:00 PM (after-school tutoring).

Tutors will be expected to travel approximately 12 minutes between the two school locations. A 40-minute transition period is provided between assignments.

Applicants must be comfortable working with both high school and elementary school students and independently commuting between the two locations.
