Tutoring Application (CUNY)

Hello CUNY students!

We are excited to connect with you about joining our team of NYC-based tutors.

Toolkit Tutors works with NYCDOE schools to provide structured, high-impact tutoring that helps students build confidence, master content, and ace their exams. Our tutors work across all subjects and grade levels, with a focus on small-group and one-on-one instruction.

What sets Toolkit apart is that our tutors don't just teach content: they also coach students in personal organization and study skills so they can become self-sufficient learners.

As a tutor, you'll work part-time (2-3 days per week, 4-6 hours per day), with tutoring taking place during the school day at the school site. Each day you will see 4-5 groups of students, with groups never exceeding 4 students at a time. We provide all the curriculum and materials you'll need to run a great tutoring session.

Pay starts at $31/hr, with more experienced or bilingual tutors earning up to $35/hr.
