Job description

StudySpot is looking for Academic Coach / Mentors to provide support to middle school, high school, and post-secondary students in the North York Area.

Academic Coaching is an effective form of academic support that targets how student learn as opposed to what they learn. For over 20 years, StudySpot has provided academic coaching support to bright, capable, post-secondary bound students who underachieve due to a lack of organization and / or academic skills. We have a niche of students who have been diagnosed with weak executive functioning associated with a learning challenge or ADHD. Experience in this area would be valuable but not manditory.

The primary function of the Academic Coach is to work one-on-one with adolescent students to teach, practice, and apply effective executive and academic skills. Mentoring the student to develop better habits and strategies is a major component of this role. The specific areas of focus will be :

Executive Skills

Organization

Time Management

Planning

Academic Skills

Reading & Notetaking

Writing

Test and Exam Preparation.

Coaching sessions are delivered both in-person at local libraries around the North York area, and virtually on our StudySpot platform. A travel premium will be paid for in-person session. Training provided.
