JOB INFORMATION:

HeyTutor has partnered with a school district in Long Beach and we're looking to hire paraprofessionals/paraeducators who can assist students before and during school hours. You will be working with students in K-12th grade.

You'll be actively supervising students as you help them catch up from learning gaps developed over the past school year.

You must be comfortable passing an IN-PERSON background check.

If you are passionate about a career in education, looking for consistent tutoring hours, or simply just want to provide some assistance to students in your community, this is the perfect opportunity for you!

JOB DESCRIPTION:

The environment could be a general education classroom, or a special education classroom (i.e. resource room or specialized classroom).
