Toronto, Canada Ruth Rumack's Learning Space Full time

Ruth Rumack’s Learning Space is committed to providing work-life balance for all employees. We offer a 36-hour work week at our 40-hour salaries with a choice between:

- four 9-hour days (a 4-day work week) OR
- four 8-hour days and one half-day (a 4.5-day work week)

**Who you are**:
You are an Intermediate/Senior teacher who is willing to learn new things. You have also had experience in the past helping students prepare for standardized tests including the SSAT, ISEE, SAT, ACT and more.

Like a lot of us, you probably studied to become a teacher with a clear idea of what your career would look like
- standing in front of a classroom. This is an opportunity for you to put those skills to use and to do what you love in an unconventional way by providing one-on-one support on a regular basis with a roster of students to support their unique learning needs. You should also be:

- OCT certified (or equivalent)
- Familiar with several standardized tests
- Experienced or qualified to work with students with special education needs
- Able to support students in a variety of grade levels in some (but not necessarily all) of the following areas: reading, writing, math, executive functioning
- Passionate about supporting students in a holistic way
- Kind, patient, and compassionate

**Who we are**:
Ruth Rumack’s Learning Space (RRLS) is a fast-growing educational support company for students from kindergarten to university. We specialize in:

- Teaching students primarily in a 1-to-1 setting, with small group classes offered over the summer
- Using Direct Instruction methods in conjunction with individualized lesson plans that help students with a variety of learning exceptionalities and other education needs.
- Providing lessons that are interactive, kinesthetic, and incorporate creative teaching methods not found in regular classrooms

**What we can do for you**:
Before you start working with any student, you will meet with our Test Prep Director to discuss their learning goals and particular needs. You will be thoroughly trained on any programming that will be delivered to your student but expected to utilize your own teaching toolbox as well. We provide a private teaching space within our office, a computer and iPad, and access to all of our resources and special education materials. We are currently offering a hybrid work model that includes at least one day of online instruction from your home.

**What we are offering**:

- Full-time employment
- A starting salary of $42,500 per year, with an increase to $45,600 after six months
- Paid prep time
- Benefits starting after 1 year
- Thorough, ongoing training and support
- A hybrid work model (at least one work from home day per week)
- Professional development opportunities
- A warm, collaborative work culture

**What a day looks like**:
When they begin with RRLS, full-time teachers will work four 9-hour days per week from Sunday to Wednesday (with an option to select four 8-hour days plus one 4-hour day). For the first few hours of the day, you have time to plan your lessons, communicate with parents and other professionals involved with your students, and work on internal projects.

After the traditional school day is over, students begin to come in for their lessons. The second half of the day is devoted to teaching. Most lessons last for one hour, so teachers see about 3-5 students per day.

Weekday shifts are in the afternoon and evening. Sunday shifts are during the day. In the summer, we shift to a weekday-only week (either Mon-Thurs or Tues-Fri).

We thank all applicants, but only those selected for an interview will be contacted.

Ruth Rumack's Learning Space is committed to workplace diversity. We provide accommodations to applicants with disabilities throughout the hiring process. If you require accommodation, please contact us through our website Contact page.

Please note that our building is only accessible by a small set of stairs from the street.
