Tatu is a project of Rendeavour, Africa’s largest urban land developer with over 30,000 acres of visionary projects in the growth trajectories of large cities in Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Zambia and Democratic Republic of Congo. Rendeavour’s vision goes beyond alleviating what is a self-evident problem – that of stifling urban congestion and a dearth of quality housing and commercial property in Africa. Rather, we aim to help create the infrastructure – the living and working spaces, communities, schools and hospitals – that will help sustain and accelerate Africa’s economic growth, meet the aspirations of Africa’s burgeoning middle classes, and serve as a catalyst for further urban development. Mathematics Tutor – Educational Research Study Key Responsibilities Instructional Facilitation and Learner Support Facilitate two 40-minute mathematics learning sessions per week over a 12-week period (24 sessions in total). Support learners using the project’s standardized Common Help Ladder framework. Provide brief, targeted coaching interventions that promote learner reasoning, self-correction, and conceptual understanding. Limit learner support interactions to approximately 2-3 minutes per learner to maintain consistency across participants. Encourage independent problem-solving by using guided questioning techniques rather than providing direct answers. Maintain a positive, inclusive, and supportive learning environment that encourages learner engagement and confidence. Ensure all instructional support aligns with approved research protocols. Curriculum Delivery and Session Management Support learning exclusively within the approved Grade 7 or Grade 8 Khan Academy mathematics pathway. Follow the prescribed instructional sequence, including topics such as- Proportional Relationships, Equations and Expressions, Linear Relationships. Geometry and Measurement and other approved curriculum topics. Deliver all sessions consistently, maintaining the prescribed timing, pacing, and learning conditions. Refrain from assigning homework, conducting additional lessons, or introducing unapproved teaching materials. Ensure learners remain focused on approved study activities throughout each session. Research Integrity and Assessment Security Adhere strictly to all study procedures, protocols, and operational guidelines. Maintain accurate session documentation using assigned participant research identification numbers only. Protect learner confidentiality and ensure personal information is not recorded in research documentation. Ensure that no AI tools, including Microsoft Copilot, are used within the teacher-assisted study cohort. Promptly report any protocol deviations, operational concerns, or incidents that may affect study outcomes or validity. Support efforts to maintain consistency and reliability across all study sessions. Safeguarding, Ethics, and Data Protection Comply fully with all child safeguarding policies and procedures. Adhere to all ethical research, confidentiality, and data protection requirements. Immediately report and escalate any safeguarding concerns, data privacy breaches or incidents, technical disruptions, research protocol deviations, health and safety concerns. Collaborate with project leadership and research staff to maintain a safe, compliant, and learner-centered environment. Demonstrate professionalism and ethical conduct when interacting with learners, parents, and project stakeholders. Requirements Diploma, bachelor’s degree, or equivalent qualification in Education. Specialization in Mathematics, Science, or a related field is preferred. Current Teacher Service Commission (TSC) registration will be an added advantage. Proven experience teaching Mathematics at Grade 7 and/or Grade 8 level. Strong understanding of the Kenyan Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), particularly Junior Secondary Mathematics. Experience supporting learners with diverse learning needs and ability levels. Previous participation in educational programs, pilot projects, or research studies is desirable but not mandatory. Basic digital literacy and proficiency in using technology for learning. Ability to navigate learning management systems and online educational platforms. Competence in using tablets, laptops, web-based applications, and other digital learning tools. Comfortable supporting learners in a technology-enabled learning environment Don't Keep Share!: WhatsApp Tweet
