About Galin Education

Galin Education (www.galined.com) is an education organization that works with students as they navigate middle and high school and prepare for and apply to college. We work with students one-on-one and in small groups for tutoring, enrichment, executive functioning, test prep, and admissions counseling for college. Galin Education also works with a variety of education organizations throughout the country, including schools, camps, and educational technology companies to develop and execute programming, revamp curriculum, and craft policies and outreach efforts.

Director of Instruction Responsibilities

The Director of Instruction (DI) manages our test preparation and tutoring curricula, materials, and training, in addition to directly working with students. This person must have impeccable communication skills, be able to connect with both high school students and their parents, and be incredibly knowledgeable about executive functioning, standardized tests, and tutoring pedagogy. S/he will also support our tutors through the onboarding process, initial and ongoing training, and development. The DI spends approximately half his/her time working with current students and the other half developing curriculum, training tutors, and meeting with prospective families.

The position reports to the President and has office hours expectations. Because we work mostly with high school students and their parents, we tend to be in the office in the later afternoons, evenings, and weekends. There is some flexibility in schedule, as long as it is coordinated with families and other full-time staff. The position will evolve over time as the ideal candidate will take our current practices and expand and enhance them.

  • Intermediate skills in social media platforms and Microsoft Excel;
  • Valid drivers license;
  • Sense of humor;
  • Ability to work evenings and/or weekends;
