Build Relationships. Inspire Learning. Foster Growth.

Are you passionate about reducing academic opportunity gaps? Do you want to make a direct impact by mentoring and working with children?

Join Tutor-CogSci Collaborative as a Tutor. In this engaging, high-impact role, you will deliver evidence-based, structured tutoring that prioritizes strong mentor relationships and drives children’s academic growth - all while gaining valuable hands-on experience supported by a collaborative community of peers, researchers, and faculty.

“My tutoring sessions are the best part of my week!”

“Being able to witness the development of the kids is truly rewarding, and it’s just an amazing experience to watch these kids learn and master topics right before your eyes!”

Our Vision

To close educational opportunity gaps by expanding children’s access to high-quality, evidence-based literacy support aligned with the Science of Reading.

Our Mission

We serve children, educators, and our community through three core pillars:

1. Expanding Access: Delivering high-impact, evidence-based tutoring directly into local schools. 2. Developing Future Leaders: Providing a premier practicum and workforce development experience for college students preparing for youth-serving careers (educators, pediatricians, cognitive scientists, and advocates). 3. Innovating Learning Design: Advancing open science by developing, refining, and scaling effective tutoring practices.

Position Overview

As a Tutor-CogSci Tutor, you will work directly with children in grades K-3 in one-on-one or small-group settings, supporting structured a local school's literacy programs. You will be paired with your assigned students for the semester to build strong, consistent, and supportive relationships that accelerate learning.

You do not need to work alone: you will be part of an active collaborative design community composed of tutoring specialists, instructional coaches, researchers, and university faculty. Beyond direct tutoring, you will have opportunities to contribute to curriculum development, observe peer sessions, collaborate on student progress reports, conduct research, and shape team recruitment.

Note: Full training on high-quality tutorial principles, child safety, and evidence-based programs—along with required background checks—will be provided before you begin working with students.
