Group Facilitators Needed
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Modular Group Tutor, Computer Tutor, Classroom Assistant, or Small Group Facilitator. Working within a classroom can be a very rewarding experience. It can give you the opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives, and enrich your own. We will provide you with training, curriculum, resources and ongoing support while you are either supporting a TLG staff instructor or running a small group on your own. Groups may be online or in-person.
Training
Tutor applicants will participate in a 10-hour online training workshop. After the training, each tutor will complete a minimum of 4 hours of mentoring with either the class or curriculum. Every tutor has the option to complete the in-class training to become a Laubach-certified tutor.
Time and commitment
To be a Classroom Assistant, we ask for a 6 month minimum commitment. The Group Facilitator role requires anything from 6 weeks to 1 year. Modular Group Tutors can commit to 8-12-week sessions throughout the year.
