CPS TUTOR CORPS
One item that the results of our recent student survey pointed out was that the majority of College of Education students are working either part-time or full-time while taking classes at DePaul. While many of you may be happy in your current positions, many others are working simply to make ends meet in jobs that have nothing at all to do with education. Wouldn’t it be great to make GOOD money actually putting into practice the SKILLS you are learning in class? Well, now you have that chance with the CPS TUTOR CORPS.
Not only will you gain valuable experience working with 1-4 students at a time, you will also be paid between $20-$22 per hour (training included!) and be guaranteed 20-30 hours of paid work through each school semester.
We encourage our students to take advantage of this great opportunity to serve as literacy tutors (grades K-5) and math tutors (grades 6-12) in CPS schools on the South and West Sides of Chicago. We know that the COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately impacted these school communities so this effort aims to accelerate these students’ learning towards a more successful future and, in order for it to work, they need YOU!
To learn more about this first-of-its-kind, equity-based academic initiative and to submit an interest form, visit https://www.cps.edu/campaigns/tutor-corps
Come serve in the Tutor Corps and help lift up Chicago’s next generation!
