What is a tutor?
Want to make a difference in a kid's life? Are you patient, enthusiastic, and a whiz with improper fractions? If so, volunteer to be a CIS tutor in an elementary, middle or high school. You can assist students in achieving academic success while also helping to provide a caring and supportive scholastic environment. Tutors may participate in a variety of instructive activities with students, such as completing homework assignments, playing educational games, reading or working on the computer. Tutors may work with a child in subjects such as English, math, science, reading, or writing. CIS tutors are required to commit at least one hour a week - Monday through Friday, during the school day - for at least one semester. Tutors should have good listening and communication skills, and basic knowledge in one or more subject areas. Tutors undergo a criminal background check. Tutors will also undergo an initial interview with a member of the CIS Volunteer Coordinator, and attend a CIS volunteer training. CIS needs tutors in various elementary, middle and high schools in Austin, Hays County (Kyle and Buda), Manor, Bastrop, and Lockhart school districts. If you are to become a tutor with CIS, please complete our Campus-Based volunteer application. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at volunteer@cisaustin.org, or call (512) 464-9767. |
