Operations Manager - Full Job Description

Thank you for your interest in working with the Tutorpedia Foundation!

Mission

The Tutorpedia Foundation's mission is to provide high-quality, personalized tutoring and related education services to underserved students.  We carefully match students (grades K-12) with exceptional tutors who are experts in their content, use best practices in test preparation, and improve overall study and organizational skills. Tutoring is student-centered and individualized, improving confidence, motivation, and grades, and test scores.

Vision

The Foundation believes that the one-on-one tutoring model, institutionalized in schools, can close achievement gaps, graduate more students from high school, and prepare more students for post-secondary education. Personalized tutoring is a powerful tool that ultimately promotes equity and social justice through more personalized education.  Our vision is to graduate 100% of our students from high school and prepare them for college.

Values

Central to the Foundation's work is the emphasis on a personalized, collaborative relationship between student and tutor. The Foundation takes a holistic approach to the positive development of each student, and tutors' work is also carefully aligned with state content standards. Tutors conduct assessments of their students, combine assessments with grades and advice from teachers and parents/guardians to determine areas of specific need, and then set measurable goals. In addition to work on academic and test preparation, tutors work with students on cultivating skills and habits of mind that will generalize to all areas of a student's life, such as organizational strategies, critical thinking, problem solving, and time management. Our values are best summarized in the Tao of Tutorpedia: Collaborative Relationships, Innovative Expertise, Holistic Vision.
