Teacher Assistant & Academic Enrichment Coordinator

Tutoring and Instructional Support

• Support lead teachers and tutors during one-on-one and small-group sessions.
• Reinforce concepts in mathematics, reading, writing, English Language Arts, homework support, test preparation, study skills, artificial intelligence education, financial literacy, and other assigned subjects.
• Explain concepts using clear, age-appropriate examples that match the student's grade level and current understanding.
• Ask questions that help students think through a problem instead of simply giving them the answer.
• Help students review assignments, prepare for quizzes and tests, practice academic skills, and correct misunderstandings.
• Encourage students to complete their own work and follow their school's academic-integrity requirements.
• Provide additional practice, examples, or guided review when a student needs more support.
• Help advanced students explore more challenging material when appropriate.

Lesson Preparation

• Review the student's assignments, assessment results, learning plan, tutor notes, and upcoming academic deadlines before each session.
• Prepare worksheets, examples, discussion questions, practice exercises, digital resources, and other instructional materials requested by the lead teacher.
• Organize lesson materials so the session has a clear objective, learning activity, practice opportunity, and next step.
• Confirm that online meeting links, shared documents, presentations, digital whiteboards, and other technology are ready before an online session begins.
• Prepare the in-person learning space with the necessary materials, supplies, and technology before students arrive.
• Adjust materials under the direction of the lead teacher based on the student's grade level, learning pace, subject needs, and recent performance.
• Keep educational materials organized, current, and easy for the instructional team to access.

Academic Progress Monitoring

• Record student attendance, participation, completed activities, skills practiced, areas of improvement, and concepts that require additional review.
• Track assignments, projects, quizzes, tests, grades, and deadlines when that information is provided or included in the student's academic-support plan.
• Review practice results and assessment information to help identify academic strengths, learning gaps, and recurring challenges.
• Notify the lead teacher promptly when a student appears confused, disengaged, overwhelmed, consistently unprepared, or at risk of missing an important academic deadline.
• Help maintain accurate tutoring notes and student progress records.
• Contribute to weekly or periodic progress summaries for parents and guardians.
• Recommend possible areas for future review while allowing the lead teacher or academic team to make final instructional decisions.
• Help students set realistic academic goals and monitor progress toward those goals.

Academic improvement is the goal, but this position should never promise a particular grade, test score, grade-point average, or school outcome.

Parent and Guardian Communication

• Provide clear, professional, and timely updates through communication channels approved by 4.0 Labs.
• Summarize what was covered during a session, how the student responded, what progress was observed, and what should be practiced next.
• Help communicate upcoming assignments, tests, projects, missing work, and academic deadlines when that information is available.
• Share concerns early so parents, guardians, and the instructional team have time to respond.
• Answer routine questions about scheduling, session activities, assignments, and student participation within the scope of the role.
• Refer questions about diagnoses, formal accommodations, school placement, billing, enrollment, major academic decisions, or sensitive family matters to the appropriate 4.0 Labs team member.
• Participate in parent meetings or academic-review conversations when requested.
• Communicate respectfully, avoid educational jargon when possible, and explain information in a way families can understand.
• Maintain appropriate boundaries and never communicate with a minor student through an unapproved personal account or private channel.

Student Safety and Professional Conduct

• Help maintain a safe, respectful, focused, and age-appropriate learning environment.
• Supervise students during their scheduled in-person tutoring sessions and follow established arrival, attendance, dismissal, and authorized-pickup procedures.
• Do not leave a student unsupervised during a scheduled in-person session.
• Report safety concerns, suspected abuse, threats, bullying, harassment, inappropriate conduct, or serious behavioral concerns according to 4.0 Labs procedures and applicable law.
• Maintain appropriate professional boundaries with students and families.
• Protect confidential student, family, school, and academic information.
• Use only approved systems to store or communicate student information.
• Follow emergency procedures and maintain accurate parent, guardian, and emergency-contact information.
• Follow health and safety procedures for the instructional location.
• Notify the appropriate team member immediately if a student becomes ill, injured, highly distressed, or presents a risk to themselves or another person.
• Do not provide medical, psychological, legal, or special-education diagnoses.

4.0 Labs provides tutoring and educational enrichment. It is not a daycare, childcare center, school, or medical provider.

Online Instruction Responsibilities

• Join online sessions on time with a reliable internet connection, working camera, microphone, and appropriate professional background.
• Confirm that students can access the lesson materials and understand how to use the required learning tools.
• Use screen sharing, digital whiteboards, shared documents, guided examples, and other approved tools to make online instruction interactive.
• Monitor student participation and redirect distractions respectfully.
• Protect student privacy by avoiding unnecessary collection or display of personal information.
• Do not record an online session unless advance approval, notice, and any required consent have been obtained.
