AVID PROGRAM HIRING TUTORS NOW
Our AVID program is looking to hire current college students, who are also Mission Hills alumni, as AVID Tutors. AVID Tutors assist students in grades 9 - 12 with mathematics, science, English, history, and foreign language; AP and Honors experience is preferred. AVID Tutors work 10-18 hours a week. Because college classes come first, tutoring hours will be scheduled around a tutor's college schedule. The current pay is $15.50/hour. Applicants must apply on edjoin.org. We are hiring very soon (prior to the Sept 30 application deadline), so If you're interested, please apply as soon as possible through this link: AVID Tutor Edjoin
Questions? Please contact our AVID Coordinator, Mrs. Yorba @ jamie.yorba@smusd.org.
