Live-in Resident Tutor (male, rent-free), Part-Time, Radnor A Better Chance

Posted by Radnor A Better Chance on August 29, 2023

Radnor ABC Live-in Resident Tutors (RT) live in the Radnor ABC house rent-free with the scholars and assist the Resident Director(s) (RD), supervising evening study halls, acting as counselors and friendly mentors to the scholars, and sharing in their informal activities. The duties of the RT are varied, but their primary focus is the academic development of the scholars. RTs provide understanding and informal counseling. They provide models of success that the Scholars can emulate and must possess sufficient maturity to maintain authority during their supervision of the house. They act as intermediaries between the Scholars and Resident Director(s) and can also assist Scholars in their relationships with their teachers. The RT should be familiar with the demands and performance required at Radnor High School so that they are able to help the Scholars meet those expectations.
