Job Summary

CCRI Advantage is an innovative program that helps associate degree-seeking CCRI students get a strong start in college. The goal of the program is to help students prepare for college-level coursework and to meet CCRI's proficiency milestones prior to starting credit-bearing courses in their first semester of college. The program seeks to successfully transition math and reading/writing students from their developmental status to successful completion of credit-bearing/transferable course credits.

The tutor will serve as a team member (three-person team) to deliver seven-week CCRI Advantage math foundational curriculum, providing one-on-one and small group tutoring in-person to students struggling with course subject matter. They will provide in-classroom support to students as an embedded tutor, and facilitate advisory time for additional student learning. Tutors will be an integral member of the team to assess student achievement.

Tutors may be required to commute to two (2) separate campuses (one per each 7-week session in the semester).
