Job Summary
As an expert in specific content subject matter, the CLE Tutor is the catalyst who enables the students to not just learn, but to develop the skills necessary to generalize across other areas. The role of the Tutor, though complex as is may be, is to ultimately help the student help themselves through developing independence. It is of highest importance to the CLE team that the Tutor create a one-on-one or group learning environment that is welcoming, inclusive and safe, so students may grow and develop.
The CLE Tutor provides guidance and instruction on subject matter topics while also seamlessly adapting to various learning styles. With a passion for student development and transformation to reach their potential, the CLE Tutor holds the perfect balance of integrity and knowledge while at the same time proving instruction not only on material, but in their ability to help others understand it. The top three characteristics a CLE tutor must possess are:
Passion: It is our privilege to support and walk alongside the students we serve. If a CLE student senses that you don’t have enough passion related to your instruction then their interest level can significantly decrease resulting in an inefficient tutoring session.
Creativity: We are in the human service industry where no one day or person is alike. A great tutor appreciates and understands this and is able to adjust their teaching method to each student and way of grasping the material.
Persistence: In order to be leading edge, we must go the extra mile. For the topics like math, it may take time for students to understand and master. Tutors need to have a positive attitude coupled with patience and persistence to celebrate the highs and push through the lows.
