* Job Description:

** The America Reads/America Counts (ARAC) tutoring program is designed to enhance the reading and math skills of Kindergarten-8th grade students in Macon-Bibb County. ARAC tutors are compensated through federal work-study funds and receive coordination and training from Mercer University’s Center for Community Engagement and ARAC program partners.

ARAC tutors provide one-on-one and/or small-group instruction to their tutees. ARAC tutors control their schedules each semester by selecting their preferred after school program(s), as well as their preferred day(s) and time(s) of tutoring. The ARAC tutor's schedule remains consistent for the duration of the semester*.
* Responsibilities of an ARAC tutor include
* attending scheduled tutoring sessions
* attending all required trainings and meetings
* updating accountability logs and submitting timesheets on time in Canvas, Workday, and Bear Pulse

Previous experience working with children in a mentoring or tutoring capacity is preferred, but not required. ARAC tutors should be competent in multitasking, time management, and prioritizing work assignments.
