Do you want to make a difference?

19,916 students did not pass primary school in Sweden during the 2023/2024 school year. There are schools where 7 out of 10 students do not achieve eligibility for upper secondary school. At the non-profit Stiftelsen Läxhjälpen, you contribute your skills and commitment to help more students meet the eligibility requirements with confidence for the future.

We are now looking for new tutors in Stockholm! We are looking for you who are interested in a paid part-time job and at the same time want to make a concrete social contribution. The position is a part-time employment in the afternoons/evenings and involves being a tutor after school at one of our partner schools. With us, you work in a team of three tutors, all of whom are university students. You will receive training in and work according to our structured approach. Each tutoring group consists of 15 students, and together with your colleagues, you are responsible for planning, implementing, and following up on the work.

As a tutor, you can either work as a regular tutor or as a substitute. As a regular tutor, you work 6 hours a week spread over two scheduled afternoons/evenings (there is an opportunity for extra shifts). As a substitute, you work when the regular tutor is on leave or sick. The work is carried out after school hours in the school's premises.

We are looking for you who:

• Are a university student
• Have pedagogical skills and can communicate and build relationships with children and young people.
• Are solution-oriented, proactive, and can work according to our structured approach and methodology.
• Have broad basic subject competence and good study techniques.
• Share Stiftelsen Läxhjälpen's values and vision of a society where all children grow up with the conditions to succeed in school and shape their own future.

Since the job involves working with children, we place great emphasis on personal suitability. Presentation of a police record extract for the employer is a legal requirement to work with children and young people.

The differences between schools, where you live, where you come from, and what your parents do increasingly determine the likelihood of your success in school. Stiftelsen Läxhjälpen is a non-profit foundation that operates where it is needed the most. Tutoring is free for students, and the salaries of the tutors are financed through support from the business community and the public sector.

Tutoring is a concrete initiative that addresses one of Sweden's biggest problems today - that more and more young people are not succeeding in school and risk falling outside of society. Carefully selected, paid university students help young people with their studies two evenings a week and are also positive role models and mentors. Since our inception in 2007, we have developed a structured approach and a clear goal - grades must improve, and students must progress to upper secondary school. We are currently present in over 100 schools in Stockholm, Södertälje, Västerås, Norrköping, Gothenburg, Landskrona, Umeå, Sundsvall, Uppsala, Gävle, and Malmö.
