Position Summary

Bedford Elementary School is seeking a dedicated Part-Time Math Remediation Tutor to provide targeted academic support to elementary students who need additional assistance in mathematics. This position will work approximately 20 hours per week, focusing primarily on helping young learners strengthen foundational math concepts, build number sense, close learning gaps, improve classroom performance, and prepare for Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) assessments.

The tutor will work closely with elementary classroom teachers, instructional specialists, and administration to identify students needing extra support and deliver small-group and individual interventions based on assessment data.

Essential Responsibilities

• Provide small-group and one-on-one math tutoring and remediation to elementary students across K–5 grade levels.

• Focus on foundational elementary math skills, including early number sense, basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division), fractions, measurement, and word-problem strategies.

• Use benchmark data, SOL results, and teacher observations to identify specific skill deficits and track progress.

• Provide targeted, hands-on instruction aligned with the Virginia Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) and current classroom curriculum.

• Reinforce classroom instruction using multiple strategies, including visual models, math manipulatives (e.g., base-ten blocks, counters, fraction tiles), and interactive math games.

• Assist students with prerequisite skills required for mastery of grade-level math concepts.

• Collaborate regularly with grade-level teachers to align remediation with weekly learning targets and SOL preparation.

• Maintain simple records of students served, skills addressed, attendance, and growth.

• Build student confidence, resilience, and a positive mindset toward mathematical problem-solving.

• Maintain strict student confidentiality and adhere to all school and Bedford County Public Schools division policies.

Schedule

• Approximately 20 hours per week during the school day.

• The specific schedule will be coordinated with school administration and classroom teachers to maximize intervention time during dedicated small-group, guided math, or resource periods.

• Experience tutoring, teaching, or supporting young children in an educational setting.

• Ability to use concrete manipulatives and visual representations to explain math concepts in engaging, accessible ways.

• Familiarity with Virginia Elementary Math SOL standards preferred.

• Patience, strong communication skills, and empathy for elementary-aged learners.

• Ability to work collaboratively with teachers, staff, and administration.

• High school diploma required; teaching license, associate degree, or college-level coursework in education or STEM fields preferred.
