Science Mentor

About us

Dipolio Education is a mentorship practice for K-12 students. We're built on a simple belief: a child's environment shapes who they become, so the person mentoring them matters as much as the subject. We're not a tutoring agency filling slots, we work closely with families who welcome us into their homes. We hold high expectations and genuine warmth, and we hire people who can do the same.

The role

You'll mentor students one-on-one in their homes, helping with math (all levels, K-12) and sciences (up to around Grade 12). Beyond the coursework, you'll build a steady, trusted relationship with each student: encouraging them, raising their confidence, and showing them that hard things are doable. This is roughly 10 hours per week, on a weekly recurring schedule. You'll work within Dipolio's standards and approach, with regular support and feedback from our team.
