Round Rock ISD is now hiring college students to work as tutors for the Advancement Via Individual Determination, AVID, program. Tutors will earn $12 per hour and can work between one and five hours per session for AVID programs at Round Rock, McNeil, Stony Point, Cedar Ridge and Westwood high schools. All tutors are able to create their own schedule. Qualified tutors should care about making a difference in the lives of their students and work to prepare RRISD AVID students for future college success. Tutors will work alongside teachers and students while serving as guides and facilitators of students' learning through questioning, writing, thinking and discussing the material. "Students in the AVID program are hardworking and dedicated to creating a successful life for themselves," said John Weishaar, RRISD AVID coordinator. "Collegiate tutors have the opportunity to not only help with academics, but also serve as mentors and inspiration for students as they prepare for postsecondary life." Hired tutors must attend a six hour AVID training to learn the tutorial process before beginning the position. For more information and to apply, please contact Weishaar at (512) 464-5108.
