Teacher/Tutor - Glenville, NY

Sylvan Learning Center of Glenville, NY
Schenectady, NY Full Time
POSTED ON 3/11/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/10/2026

Job Overview
We are seeking a person who loves to teach, full-stop! The ideal Sylvan Teacher will have a strong background in working with children of different age groups and who need support in many different academic areas. Sylvan teachers are required to come to work on time, teach our awesome kids in a 3 to 1 ratio, and then go home! Sylvan teachers are not required to develop curriculum, create or grade homework, create or grade quizzes/tests, or meet with parents. This job requires that you care so much about kids that you just have to put in more teaching time after-school and on Saturdays to help them achieve the success that you know is possible.

Responsibilities

  • Utilize Sylvan's patented learning technology to enhance the educational experience and engage students effectively.
  • Manage a table of up to 3 students per session and create an inclusive and supportive environment for all learners regardless of age, subject, or ability level.
  • Collaborate with Center Directors and Lead Teachers to support student progress and address any learning challenges.
  • Maintain records of student performance during your sessions and provide feedback on areas for improvement in Sylvan's learning platform.

Skills

  • Patience - We know that our students are often coming from a full day of school and will need our peace and patience to help them complete their tasks.
  • Flexibility - We know that the same methodology will not work for every student. Sylvan teachers should be prepared to change up their teaching strategies when necessary.
  • Reading and writing upside-down - While this skills is not required, it's highly recommended :-). Our students are quite impressed when their Sylvan teachers can read their work without having to spin it around. Their jaws drop when their Sylvan teacher writes sight words upside down perfectly on our dry-erase tables during instruction.
  • Personable/approachable yet professional communication style - Students need to see Sylvan teachers as educational professionals while at the same time experience the fun of learning from unintimidating and engaging people.
