Critical Thinking, Reading Comprehension & Philosophy Tutor

Location: Remote · India · US shift
Commitment: 4-6 hours per week, Mon to Fri
Compensation: Paid · ₹500 per hour

About the role

Run live online sessions with two students, aged 10 and 11, Monday to Friday on US hours. Teach students to read a difficult passage and work out what the author is actually saying, including what is implied and what is left out. Build the habit of questioning a claim, testing an argument, and spotting weak reasoning. Introduce Stoic philosophy in a form a child can use, and connect it to how they handle setbacks, focus, and their own reactions. Choose age-appropriate texts and build a progression across the term rather than teaching one-off lessons. Give direct, specific feedback in a way that keeps a child willing to be wrong out loud. Document student progress and ensure students complete their daily reflections in our student dashboard. Use and help integrate AI tools into lesson preparation and teaching.

A few questions about this role

1. How would you introduce the concept of Stoicism to a 7th grader for the first time? Describe a short, practical activity you might use. *

2. A student is frustrated and says, 'I don't see the point of philosophy. How will this help me in the real world?' How do you respond? *

3. We emphasize the Socratic method. Describe a time when you used questioning to help someone arrive at their own conclusion, rather than just giving them the answer. *

This could be from a tutoring session, a class project, or even a conversation with a friend.

4. Our program's goal is to keep students two grade levels ahead. What is a potential risk of this approach, and how would you help mitigate it as a tutor? *

5. This is an unpaid internship focused on experience, mentorship, and a reference. What do you hope to learn or achieve here that a more traditional role might not offer? *
