About The Position

California Teaching Fellows Foundation (CTFF) is hiring Teaching Fellows to tutor and support students in before-school morning programs in Porterville and Farmersville. Teaching Fellows work directly with students in expanded learning programs, using hands-on activities to support learning and maintain a safe, structured, and positive environment. Pay is $20 per hour at Burton School District, Farmersville Unified School District, and Porterville Unified School District, or $18 per hour for substitute tutors. Applicants available fewer than five weekdays may be considered for substitute, on-call work, scheduled according to their stated preferences.

Tutors monitor and mentor students, prepare lesson objectives and plans, facilitate educational activities and homework help, and lead physical activities and structured learning before the school day begins. They follow CTFF’s morning program outline, schedule, safety procedures, and school-district rules. Tutors collaborate with fellow tutors and school staff, maintain student safety and required supervision ratios, respond to incidents, and attend scheduled staff development meetings and Teaching Fellow Academies. Training and ongoing development include shadowing an assigned master teacher or administrator.

CTFF is a nonprofit focused on developing educators for expanded learning roles serving TK–12 students across six counties. Its mission is to elevate and equip educators to empower youth, communities, and themselves. The organization describes a vision in which Teaching Fellows become credentialed teachers and education leaders, students feel supported and inspired, and communities see education as a source of opportunity and hope.
