study group program. You will be expected to attend trainings and 
monthly check-ins that will provide you with support for this important

sessions (scheduled at times convenient to you and the students), one 
hour course material preparation and submitting timely student 
evaluations.  Salary is negotiable, but $20 minimum per hour.
