Do you want to make a difference?
19,916 students did not complete compulsory school in Sweden during the 2023/2024 school year. There are schools where 7 out of 10 students do not meet the requirements for upper secondary school. At the nonprofit Stiftelsen Läxhjälpen, you contribute your expertise and commitment to help more students achieve the requirements with confidence for the future.
We are now looking for new digital homework tutors!
We are looking for you who are interested in a paid side job and at the same time want to make a concrete social contribution. The position is an hourly employment in the afternoons/evenings and involves, in short, being a digital homework tutor after school within the scope of our digital program.
As a digital homework tutor, you meet students online and support them in their schoolwork via digital tools. You work in a team with other tutors and receive training in, and work according to, our structured approach and method.
A central part of the assignment is relationship building. As a digital homework tutor, you need to be able to "break through the screen," create a sense of security, and build trusting relationships with students despite the physical distance. You are present, engaged, and attentive, and understand how important relationships are for students' motivation, study environment, and development.
As a tutor, you can work either as a regular digital homework tutor or as a substitute. As a regular tutor, you work approximately 6 hours per week, distributed over two scheduled afternoons/evenings (with the option for extra substitutions). As a substitute, you work as needed when regular tutors are absent. The work is entirely digital.
We are looking for you who:
Are a university or college student.
Have good pedagogical skills and can communicate clearly, engagedly, and in a relationship-building manner with children and young people in digital environments.
Are comfortable leading and participating in digital meetings and find it easy to build contact and trust online.
Are solution-oriented, take initiative, and can work according to our structured approach and method.
Have broad basic subject knowledge 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 work involves working with children, we place great importance on personal suitability. Providing an extract from the police's criminal record register to the employer is a legal requirement for working with children and young people.
The differences between schools, where you live, where you come from, and what your parents do increasingly determine how likely you are to succeed in school. Stiftelsen Läxhjälpen is a nonprofit foundation that operates where it is needed most. Läxhjälpen is free for students, and tutors' salaries are financed through support from the business sector and public sector.
Läxhjälpen is a concrete action that tackles one of Sweden's biggest problems today - that more and more young people are not succeeding in school and risk being excluded from society. Carefully selected, paid college students help young people 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 upper secondary school. Today, we operate in over 90 schools in, among others, Stockholm, Södertälje, Västerås, Norrköping, Gothenburg, Landskrona, Umeå, Sundsvall, Uppsala, Gävle, and Malmö.
