Yukon Learn Society is looking for a volunteer math tutor to support youth and adult learners working at approximately a Grade 10/11 level.
We are looking for someone who is confident with high-school mathematics and enjoys helping others build their skills and confidence. The tutor will work one-to-one with a learner, providing support with math concepts, homework, and preparation for further education and employment goals.

Work with the learner to identify areas where they need additional support
Adapt your approach to the learner’s individual needs and goals
Has a strong understanding of high-school mathematics
Is patient, encouraging, and comfortable working with adult learners
Can explain concepts in a clear and accessible way

Previous tutoring or teaching experience is an asset, but not required
Approximately 1–2 hours per week, with tutoring sessions generally taking place once a week for about one hour. The schedule can be arranged between the volunteer tutor and learner based on availability. We are looking for someone who can commit to regular sessions over several weeks or months to provide consistency for the learner.
Yukon Learn Society provides an orientation and ongoing support to volunteer tutors. Volunteers have the opportunity to gain practical tutoring experience, develop their communication and teaching skills, and make a meaningful difference in a youth or adult learner’s education and future goals. Yukon Learn values the contributions of its volunteers through volunteer recognition events and reference letters upon request.
