Tutor in AVID

AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination. It’s a program that helps students get ready for college, careers and life after graduation. AVID builds confidence, organization and study skills while encouraging every student to aim high and reach their goals.

AVID volunteers, known as tutors, play an important role in supporting student success. Tutors are needed in all Beaverton middle, high and option schools and commit to volunteering in at least one class per week during the school day. 

Tutors guide small, student-led tutorial groups with support from an AVID elective teacher. No subject-matter expertise is required. Instead, tutors serve as coaches and mentors by helping students ask questions, think critically, and find solutions together.

Volunteers can choose the school and schedule that work best for them (Tuesday through Thursday between 8:25AM and 4:15PM), making this a flexible way to support students while fitting into their own schedule.
