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 recruiting new homework tutors in Stockholm! We are looking for someone interested in paid part-time work who also wants to make a concrete social impact. The position is an hourly employment in afternoons/evenings and involves being a homework tutor after school at one of our partner schools. You will work in a team of three tutors, all of whom are higher education students. You receive training in and work according to our structured approach. Each homework 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 homework tutor, you can work either as a regular tutor or as a substitute. As a regular tutor, you work 6 h/week distributed over two scheduled afternoons/evenings (opportunity for extra substitute work is available). As a substitute, you work when regular tutors are on leave or sick. The work takes place after school in the school's facilities.
We are looking for someone who:
-Is a university or higher education student
-Has pedagogical ability and can communicate and build relationships with children and young people.
-Is solution-oriented, takes initiative, and can work according to our structured approach and method.
-Has broad fundamental subject competence and good study techniques.
-Shares Stiftelsen Läxhjälpen's values and vision of a society where all children grow up with the ability to succeed in school and shape their own future.
Since the job involves working with children, we place great importance on personal suitability. Providing a certificate from the police criminal record registry 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 it is that you will succeed in school. Stiftelsen Läxhjälpen is a non-profit foundation that works 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 initiative that tackles one of Sweden's greatest challenges today—more and more young people are not succeeding in school and risk being excluded from society. Carefully selected, paid higher education 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 100 schools in places including Stockholm, Södertälje, Västerås, Norrköping, Gothenburg, Landskrona, Umeå, Sundsvall, Uppsala, Gävle, and Malmö.
