Remote

In this role, I served as a liaison between Elevate Learning's Operations Department, Chicago Public School Site Managers and online tutors, ensuring that each e-learning session flowed seamlessly. This included monitoring sessions and addressing any technical, educational or behavioral concerns immediately. I managed up to 5 virtual tutoring sessions at once to ensure that learning was successfully taking place. I also audited and assessed instructor performance, documented findings, submitted daily reports to upper management and analyzed student assessment scores to determine content areas that required review. In the case of an absent tutor, I provided remedial lessons in K-12 math, reading, writing and ACT prep. Following the completion of each program, I collected feedback from students and School Site Managers to evaluate the overall program and ensure quality satisfaction.
