Beaverton AVID Volunteer Tutoring Opportunity
You are invited to facilitate student led tutorials in a Beaverton middle school AVID class on Tuesdays or Thursdays for 60-120 minutes during the school day. School placement will vary depending on the school tutorial schedule and your availability.
AVID TUTORS:
Tutoring in AVID is different from any volunteer position you have held before. Many AVID students are first in their family to attend college and want to achieve big dreams! AVID students need role models and mentors to support their dream of college. AVID tutors assist students to achieve their full potential by facilitating collaborative tutorial groups that use Socratic questioning and collaborative learning techniques to help students come up with the answers to their questions on their own and by working with fellow students. You can be a part of changing the life of a student while learning valuable skills for your own education and for any workplace!
