    AmeriCorps tutors needed in EP schools

    EPLN Staff ReportsBy EPLN Staff ReportsJuly 9, 20242 Mins Read

    With fewer than a third of Minnesota students achieving grade-level proficiency in literacy and math, Eden Prairie schools are seeking five tutors for the upcoming academic year.

    Little Eagles Preschool-Forest Hills Elementary needs three early learning tutors, and Oak Point Elementary needs two reading tutors.

    These positions are part of the AmeriCorps tutoring programs – Reading Corps, Math Corps, and Early Learning Corps – which are dedicated to helping all children become strong learners through evidence-based approaches.

    In all, 900 tutors are needed statewide.

    Tutors placed at local schools can choose to serve 35, 25, or 18 hours a week. Using scripted activities, tutors meet with students individually and in small groups to practice essential skills.

    Prior teaching experience isn’t required – all tutors receive comprehensive training and ongoing coaching.

    Tutors receive a stipend every two weeks (about $15/hour served), plus up to $5,176.50 to pay for college tuition or student loans. Those who are 55 or older may choose to gift their education award to their child, grandchild, stepchild, or foster child. Many tutors also qualify for additional benefits such as free individual health insurance and childcare assistance.
