About The Position

California Teaching Fellows Foundation (CTFF) is hiring an After School Tutor for Fresno Unified School District.

The hourly pay range is $23.00 for Fresno Unified School District positions and $18.00 for substitute positions. Applicants available fewer than five days per week, Monday through Friday, will be considered for substitute tutor positions, which are filled on an on-call basis according to the schedule preferences provided in the application.

The position focuses on monitoring literacy learning and academic improvement, including supporting foundational phonics and decoding skills such as consonant digraphs and L-, R-, and S-blends. Tutors assist site staff with administering and tracking literacy assessments, observe student reading performance and progress, and help maintain orderly, engaging classrooms. They model responsible, professional, and positive conduct in accordance with CTFF and Fresno Unified standards.

Tutors collaborate with school-site staff and CTFF, adapt to changing schedules and program needs, follow attendance and operational policies, and attend monthly Teaching Fellow Academies and scheduled professional development. They are responsible for active student supervision, classroom behavior management, maintaining required tutor-to-student safety ratios, following emergency procedures, and promptly reporting incidents or safety concerns.
