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 reach the requirements for high school eligibility. 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 Uppsala! We are looking for you who are interested in a paid part-time job and want to make a concrete social contribution at the same time. 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 based on 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 a substitute. As a regular tutor, you work 6 hours a week spread over two scheduled afternoons/evenings (there is a possibility for extra shifts). As a substitute, you work when the regular tutor is on leave or sick. The work is performed after school hours in the school's premises.

We are looking for someone who:

• Is a university or college student
• Has pedagogical skills and can communicate and build relationships with children and youth.
• Is solution-oriented, proactive, and can work based on our structured approach and method.
• Has broad basic subject competence and good study techniques.
• Shares 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 clearance certificate for the employer is a legal requirement to work with children and youth.

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

Tutoring is a concrete initiative that addresses one of Sweden's biggest problems today - that more and more young people are failing in school and risk becoming marginalized. Carefully selected, paid university students help youth with their studies two evenings a week and are also positive role models and mentors. Since our start in 2007, we have developed a structured approach and a clear goal - to improve grades and help students advance to high school. We are currently in over 90 schools in Stockholm, Södertälje, Västerås, Norrköping, Gothenburg, Landskrona, Umeå, Sundsvall, Uppsala, Gävle, and Malmö.
