Job Description:BREMERTON SCHOOL DISTRICTJOB DESCRIPTION - AVID TUTORJOB SUMMARYThe position of Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) Tutor is one that targets students in the academic middle - B, C, and D students - who have the desire to go to college and the willingness to work hard. These are students who are capable of completing rigorous curriculum but are falling short of their potential.
