Kaiako - Tutor: Literacy and Numeracy Learning
Literacy Aotearoa delivers accessible quality programmes designed to ensure the peoples of Aotearoa are critically literate and able to realise their full social, cultural, and economic potential.
We are seeking applications from experienced literacy and numeracy tutors to work with learners part-time during a fixed-term literacy course.
Programmes are provided at no direct cost to the learner, and build on their knowledge and experiences to enhance their confidence and capabilities. Learners celebrate their successes and achievements, growing their independence, confidence and resilience.
You will be part of our Auckland team of educators who are passionate in their understanding that increased literacy and numeracy skills leads to increased opportunities, including employment and further education for learners, and potentially their whānau, families and communities.
Literacy Aotearoa is committed to honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi, working to a strong value base, and contributing to the wellbeing of our learners, our communities, and our country.
