Volunteer Teaching Assistant

Location : Brampton

Goal

As a non‑profit organization looking to provide Skills, Education, and Training to the community, we are looking for volunteers to help us achieve this goal! We have around 400 adult learners yearly, all of whom are looking to better themselves for various reasons. We hope that our volunteers gain experience through this role, while helping us provide a more individual‑focused education to our many learners.

Description

Volunteer Teaching Assistant needed! We are looking for a dedicated volunteer to support our adult learners in their English and math pursuits! Volunteers will primarily assist our students with math and occasionally with English; working within small groups or one‑on‑ones. Our wonderful volunteers assist us through their support in classroom activities, preparation of learning materials, and assisting with the learner's assignments.

The perfect candidate would be a passionate and enthusiastic individual who can help us foster inclusive, respectful, and supportive learning atmospheres for our students. This role is ideal for those who are genuinely interested in education, community service, and helping others reach their learning goals. By helping us, you can support your community in Literacy and Basic Skills for life!

Aside from the satisfaction of helping your community, we offer letters of recommendation to volunteers who assist us for at least 3 months, with strong possibility of contract renewal based on performance. Additionally, we provide 1 hour free time between morning and afternoon sessions to ensure proper breaks and lunch time allowance.

Qualifications

We require strong communication skills in English for both verbal and written, as well as strong understanding in basic math concepts and problem solving as part of the job. Volunteers are not expected to have teaching or tutoring experience, but experience is an asset. Previous social services, education, or caregiving experience is also an asset.

Our volunteers should be comfortable teaching up to Grade 11 math and have a good attention to detail. Our ideal volunteer will also be patient, empathetic, and have genuine interest in what we strive to provide the community.
