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 upper secondary school eligibility requirements. At the non-profit Stiftelsen Läxhjälpen, you contribute your skills and commitment to help more students achieve eligibility requirements with confidence for the future.
We are now hiring new digital homework tutors!
We are looking for you if you are interested in a paid part-time job and at the same time want to make a concrete social impact. The position is hourly employment in the afternoons/evenings and involves, in short, being a digital homework tutor after school as part 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 safety, 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 homework tutor, you can either work as a regular digital homework tutor or as a substitute. As a regular tutor, you work approximately 6 hours per week, divided across two scheduled afternoons/evenings (with the possibility of extra substitute shifts). As a substitute, you work as needed when regular tutors are absent. The work is entirely digital.
We are looking for you if you:
Are a university or college student.
Have strong 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 establish contact and trust online.
Are solution-oriented, proactive, and can work according to our structured approach and method.
Have broad foundational subject knowledge and good study techniques.
Share Stiftelsen Läxhjälpen's values and vision of a society where all children grow up with the capacity to succeed in school and shape their own future.
Since the work involves working with children, we place great emphasis 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 your chances of succeeding in school. Stiftelsen Läxhjälpen is a non-profit foundation that operates where it is needed most. Läxhjälpen is free for students, and tutor salaries are financed through support from the business sector and public sector.
Läxhjälpen is a concrete initiative that tackles one of Sweden's greatest challenges today - an increasing number of young people not succeeding in school and risking being left out of 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 founding in 2007, we have developed a structured approach and a clear goal - to improve grades and help students progress to upper secondary school. Today we operate in over 90 schools in, among others, Stockholm, Södertälje, Västerås, Norrköping, Göteborg, Landskrona, Umeå, Sundsvall, Uppsala, Gävle, and Malmö.
