Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) Tutors:
Job Description The AVID College Readiness System is designed to increase the number of students who enroll and succeed in higher education and in their lives beyond high school. AVID tutors work with small groups of approximately 5-7 middle or high school students during the school day in an academic elective class called Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID). The class is led by a trained teacher and may include 2-4 tutorial groups (depending on class size). These groups use higher order questioning strategies to help students develop a variety of college preparatory skills such as critical thinking and problem solving.
Tutors may work 1 to 25 hours per week (depending on tutor availability) in select Fairfax County public schools, earning $17.19 per hour. Candidates must be college graduates, or currently enrolled in college. They should possess excellent rapport with middle and high school students and be willing to serve as positive role models. Comfort with higher-level math is especially needed, though not required. Interested applicants should send a resume to Bridget Wright at [email protected].
