Job Description
Job Description
Help provide a brighter future for kids in your community by joining Michigan Education Corps!
As a Math Tutor, you’ll support students in grades 4–8 as they build foundational math and problem-solving skills. You’ll work with students in pairs or small groups of 3 during the school day, helping them practice math skills, build confidence, and get back on track in math.
