Summary Job Description:

Lake County High School is seeking an enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and patient Math Tutor to support high school students taking Integrated Math 2. Integrated Math 2 blends quadratic algebra, geometry, probability, and trigonometry. The ideal candidate will help students bridge these concepts, rebuild their academic confidence, and develop strong problem-solving skills. You will work closely with students to master current coursework, prepare for exams, and fill foundational learning gaps. 

Essential Job Tasks:

• Provide targeted academic support to high school students in Integrated Math 2 concepts (math concepts from Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II).

• Break down complex, blended topics including quadratic functions, complex numbers, geometric similarity, right-triangle trigonometry, and conditional probability.

• Help students see the connections between algebra and geometry rather than treating them as isolated subjects.

• Review homework assignments, clarify textbook explanations, and guide students through practice problems.

• Teach effective test-taking strategies and help students prepare for quizzes, unit exams, and standardized tests.

• Assess student progress, identify foundational gaps, and adapt tutoring methods to match various learning styles.

• Maintain a positive, encouraging, and patient learning environment that reduces math anxiety.

Required Qualifications

• Experience: Previous experience tutoring or teaching high school math is a strong plus.

• Education: High School Diploma or GED, minimum.

• Subject Mastery: Deep understanding of Integrated Mathematics content:

• Graphing, factoring, and solving quadratic equations.

• Working with real and complex numbers (imaginary units).

• Proving geometric theorems regarding similarity, circles, and right triangles.

• Applying the Pythagorean theorem and basic trigonometric ratios (Sine, Cosine, Tangent).

• Calculating independence and conditional probabilities using data tables

• Communication: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to explain complex mathematical concepts in simple, accessible language. 

• Preferred bilingual English/Spanish.

• Soft Skills: Highly patient, empathetic, reliable, and passionate about helping teenagers succeed.
