Metro Academies Seeking Tutors

What is Metro Academies?
Metro Academies is designed to boost college completion for low-income and first-generation students by coordinating course requirements and accelerating academic development during the first two years college—a make or break time for many students—and institutionalizing educational “best practices” that will lead to improving college completion rate for both CCSF and SFSU. Metro Academy is a four-semester learning community (cohort).  Metro Academy students receive one-on-one support from faculty and have individual education plans worked out with an academic counselor.

As we roll into our third year, Metro is seeking out ways to better support students in their first two years of college.  In addition, our prior experience has demonstrated being proactive and beginning tutoring at the start of the semester, leads to higher passage rates in crucial courses like Math.  We are seeking Math tutors to work with students who are currently enrolled in remedial Math courses, for both CCSF and SFSU. We asking for tutors who can commit a minimum of 15-20 hours a week for the Fall 2010 semester, working at both SFSU and CCSF. Tutors will receive a $10 an hour stipend.
