Want to revolutionize the future of education and do meaningful work that transforms future generations’ lives?

EdTech company Crimson Education was founded in 2013 from the idea that through personalised education, we can transform students into the world leaders of tomorrow. Since then, we have rapidly grown a mission-driven team that is dedicated to building the education system for the 22nd century. Our network includes 2,400 tutors and consultants worldwide who work with over 20,000 students.

Our tech platform connects tutors and mentors to high school students aiming to achieve admission and scholarships to top universities in the US, Canada, UK, and beyond.

As a US University Essay Mentor, you’ll be working with students to A) support them in writing their US university application essays, including the Common App Essay, Coalition Essay, and/or all accompanying supplemental essays as needed; and B) to prepare them for college interviews if/when these opportunities arise.

We have an exercise you will complete that closely mirrors how the former will work.

Your responsibilities within this role will include:

  1. Brainstorming and editing the student’s personal statements for all applications (to the Common App, to the University of California system, etc.)
  2. Brainstorming and editing all written work/supplementary essays that accompanies the larger applications enumerated above to ensure that they have completed all components of the college application to the universities assigned to you for each student
  3. Preparing students for interviews

You are an Excellent Communicator:
This job requires the capacity to communicate with students and Crimson employees with clarity, professionalism, and kindness. You will be expected to be responsive to all communications within 24 hours, including on weekends, and you will be compensated for these additional hours.

You are Organized:
This position requires organization and keeping track of the essay drafts and case details of 8-9 students. Competency in the Google Suite (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Gmail) is strongly encouraged.

You are Adaptable:
The heart of our program is the extremely hands-on support we provide to our students; the nature of this work requires that you are very comfortable with managing unexpected situations. You must be the type of person who thrives in dynamic environments that call for flexibility and collaborative proactivity.

You Have Excellent Essay Editing Skills:
The most important task of this job is mentoring students in their essay writing. We look for mentors who have:
1. A strong command of grammar, syntax, narrative, style, and flow.
2. A strong and deep understanding of what admissions committees look for.
3.The capacity to help students reflect and glean insights from experiences.
4. The capacity to ask insightful and helpful questions.
5. The capacity to scaffold and teach a process of reflection, brainstorming, writing, and revising clearly, professionally and kindly.
