Great Oaks Tutor Corps - Urban Education Fellowship

Great Oaks Tutor Corps - Urban Education Fellowship The Great Oaks Tutor Corps is a one-year Urban Education Fellowship designed to close the Achievement Gap one student at a time.

The Tutor Corps lets idealistic and dedicated young people invest their time and energy in the success of six middle school students to improve their academic skills while building critical personal relationships with students and families. A highly selective full-time service year for recent college graduates, the Corps members work in a startup charter school on the front lines of education refo

rm in Newark. Our students’ needs are acute and the effort required is considerable: Corps members work 60-hour weeks, much of that time spent tutoring two or three students. Corps members also take on secondary projects at the school such as coaching teams, leading clubs or assisting teachers and staff. Corps members receive housing in a modern apartment building in downtown Newark as well as a modest living stipend. When considering applicants, we’re looking for a strong academic record, good interpersonal skills and a readiness to rise to the demands that come with working in an urban school. Above all: A relentless work ethic.
