About The Position

Math Corps is hiring Math Tutors to help elementary students improve their math skills at a local school. Tutors receive training and ongoing coaching to deliver proven activities. Each school day, tutors work with groups of up to three students for 20–30 minutes at a time, helping students build skills and confidence through focused practice and encouragement. Tutors return students to their classrooms and collect the next group according to a schedule.

The positions are for the 2026–27 school year and run from January 2027 through June 2027. Full-time members serve 35 hours per week, with fewer hours during weeks with holidays or school release days, during daytime hours aligned with school schedules, Monday through Friday. Part-time positions of 20 hours per week are also available. AmeriCorps members have a total service-hour commitment for the program year and work with program staff to plan their schedules; approved service or training may occasionally take place outside the school day.

Full-time AmeriCorps members receive a paycheck (stipend) every two weeks at $18.18 per hour served. Benefits include individual health insurance with the monthly premium fully covered, child care assistance based on family size and income, a member assistance program, and education benefits. Education benefits include up to $1,956.35 for college tuition or student loans, federal student loan forbearance and interest repayment, and time accrual toward the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. Tutors age 55 and older may transfer the education award to a qualified family member.
