In-Home K-8 Tutor-Mentor - Autism & ADHD Learning Support - Langley, BC

TutorBright is currently hiring multiple experienced in-home Tutor-Mentors in Langley and Langley Township, BC, with a particular need for tutors available near the Walnut Grove and surrounding Langley communities.

We are particularly interested in Tutor-Mentors who have experience supporting elementary-aged students with autism, ADHD, learning differences, and other developmental or communication needs.

The Tutor-Mentor Position

At TutorBright, our tutors are also mentors, which is why we call this position Tutor-Mentor. Tutor-Mentors help students strengthen their academic skills while also building confidence, independence, resilience, and a more positive relationship with learning.

Our Tutor-Mentors create engaging and supportive sessions that are adapted to each student's individual strengths, needs, interests, and learning style.

For some students, this may include incorporating games, hands-on activities, movement or body breaks, shorter activities, repetition, visual supports, or breaking instructions into smaller steps.

What We Are Looking For

-Experience supporting children on the autism spectrum
-Experience supporting children with ADHD, including students who may be hyperactive, impulsive, or have difficulty maintaining attention
-Experience working with children with learning, developmental, behavioural, sensory, or communication needs
-Experience tutoring, teaching, mentoring, coaching, or working directly with children
-A friendly, outgoing, patient, and encouraging approach
-The ability to build rapport with energetic and active learners
-The ability to adapt activities, explanations, and instructions for different students
-Comfort incorporating games, movement, breaks, and varied activities into academic sessions
-A positive and supportive approach to redirection and behaviour
-The ability to identify areas of academic strength and difficulty and adjust sessions accordingly
-Strong communication and interpersonal skills
-Reliable transportation to students' homes in Langley and Langley Township
-Current or completed university or college education

Preferred Educational or Professional Background

It would be especially helpful if you are studying or have completed education in one of the following areas:

-Special Education
-Education or teachers' college
-Psychology
-Behavioural science
-Child and youth care
-Developmental services
-Early childhood education
-Speech-language sciences
-Occupational therapy or related studies
-Social work
-Child development
-A related field involving education, learning, behaviour, or developmental support

Tutoring Requirements

Tutor-Mentors should be comfortable supporting some or all of the following:

-Kindergarten to Grade 8 Math
-Kindergarten to Grade 8 English
-Reading and writing development
-Printing and foundational writing skills
-Homework and general academic skill development
-Students with autism
-Students with ADHD
-Students with learning differences
-Students with language or communication needs
-Students who benefit from additional structure, repetition, movement breaks, or shorter activities
-Students working toward greater independence with schoolwork, organization, and learning routines

Experience supporting multiple types of learning or developmental needs is a strong asset.

Our Approach

We are looking for Tutor-Mentors who can meet students where they are academically and adapt their approach as they get to know them.

For many of the students we support, sitting at a desk and completing worksheets for an entire session will not be the most effective approach. Strong Tutor-Mentors are able to make learning interactive and engaging while still working toward clear academic goals.

This may involve incorporating a student's interests, changing activities throughout the session, using games or hands-on learning, providing movement breaks, simplifying instructions, or finding new ways to explain a concept.

We also value Tutor-Mentors who can communicate observations about a student's progress, strengths, and areas that may require continued support.

Why Work with TutorBright?

-Flexible part-time hours
-Regularly scheduled students
-Opportunities to work with multiple students in your area
-Resources and materials to support your sessions
-Ongoing support from the TutorBright team
-The opportunity to make a meaningful difference in students' confidence, independence, and learning

Sessions are typically one hour long and take place in students' homes throughout Langley and Langley Township. Most tutoring takes place after school, during weekday evenings, and on weekends.
