Online Senior Language Tutor
We work with senior missionaries before they enter the MTC and/or once they are in the mission field. Tutors typically meet with missionaries from the MTC using Zoom and help missionaries progress with their personal language goals.
Rather than working a set shift, tutors are assigned missionary couples and are responsible to set up weekly lessons with each assigned couple.
Most openings for Tutors come in April/May and July/August. However, we accept applications at all times.
Positions could vary in length anywhere from a few months to a couple years.
Please apply to all areas you are qualified for.
ABOUT THE JOB
On average, 20,000 missionaries come through the Provo Missionary Training Center each year. But the MTC is more than a housing facility. This position is central to the missionaries' role to Invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. Each generation of missionaries has the potential to become the greatest generation the world has known. We are committed to helping every missionary who comes through our physical or virtual doors achieve that goal. We need the greatest generation of employees to help these missionaries.
When you become a part of the MTC, you will work with talented people who are committed to living and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. While each position will have its own roles and responsibilities, all positions will be empowered to bless the lives of missionaries. We are looking for covenant keepers who are interested in growing and developing themselves and others.
