A tutoring position is available in our North Vancouver location, near Lonsdale and 20th.

The position will commence with paid training in the Orton-Gillingham approach. Most training time will be online and can be completed from home, but all tutoring for this position will be in-person in our North Vancouver location.

The position involves tutoring children, many with learning disabilities like dyslexia, in either language or math. All lessons are 1-to-1. You will be fully trained by us in the Orton-Gillingham approach, which is multisensory and phonics-based, prior to beginning tutoring (the training is difficult and intensive so be prepared to work hard, learn and be challenged; training time is paid).

This work is challenging, but extremely rewarding as you start to see success with these struggling students.
