PART-TIME POSITIONS FOR
EXPERIENCED READING & MATH SPECIALISTS

Northside Center for Child Development, a mental health clinic in East Harlem, is seeking experienced Reading and Math Specialists to tutor children from ages 6 to 16.  We have part-time positions, which may include afternoons during the school year, and/or Saturdays.  We have one position working two mornings a week with 6 to 8 year olds.  Work will entail individual tutoring of children twice a week, as well as advocating for academic change, if necessary, by working with parents, therapists, and schools.  (Please notice that this job requires a Master’s degree as a learning specialist.)

Applicants should know how to reach children who may have emotional as well as learning problems.   They must  be able to diagnose the problems that are holding children back and engage them in activities that will give them success and make them feel competent.  We need people who can teach phonemic awareness and word attack skills (Orton-Gillingham training a plus), and who also know the perfect books to pique a child’s interest. 

We are also looking for math specialists, who can diagnose and engage children with math phobias and disabilities.  If you are comfortable with both reading and math, so much the better.

We work at two main locations: Northside’s flagship site at 110th St and Madison Avenue, and Central Harlem Services, at 135th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard.   Both sites are convenient to subway and bus lines.

Please send a COVER LETTER and RESUME to jthoms@northsidecenter.org.
