Job Overview

Position: Part-Time ACT/SAT Tutor & Educational Programs Instructor

At Academic Approach, our mission is to guide students in enhancing their essential academic abilities. We are seeking dedicated educators to provide impactful, personalized instruction in both one-on-one and classroom settings.

While many of our tutoring sessions are conducted virtually, we are currently prioritizing candidates who can provide in-person tutoring and instruction at designated locations. This role is part-time, with average weekly hours varying significantly among instructors, typically ranging from 8 to 12 instructional hours.

We are particularly interested in candidates who are available to work with us throughout the academic year and potentially beyond.

Commitment to Diversity: Academic Approach is dedicated to fostering a diverse workplace and is proud to offer equal employment opportunities to all individuals, regardless of race, color, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, genetics, marital status, or veteran status. We strongly encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds and experiences to apply.

Content Assessment: All candidates must complete a content assessment consisting of English and math questions prior to being considered for an interview. This assessment is untimed and should take approximately 30-45 minutes to complete.

Training Information: We place great importance on comprehensive tutor training. Our Gateway Training module, which includes both synchronous and asynchronous components, requires approximately 31 hours to complete and is typically conducted over 2-3 weeks. A stipend of $500 is provided for this training. Additionally, our School Programs Training module takes about 26 hours to complete, with a stipend of $408.

What We Provide:

  • Competitive compensation, starting at $30/hour for one-on-one tutoring and $47/hour for classroom instruction, with potential for bi-annual increases based on performance.
  • Flexibility in scheduling while meeting the needs of our students.
  • Comprehensive (paid) training programs.
  • Personalized coaching and ongoing support from our Instructional Management Team.
  • Access to exceptional proprietary curriculum and instructional resources.
  • Travel compensation for school programs requiring a commute of at least 30 minutes and 15 miles.
  • A supportive and respectful workplace culture focused on effectively serving students and staff.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide engaging academic and test-preparation instruction to high school and some middle school students.
  • Foster professional relationships in a supportive manner.
  • Maintain an organized calendar using Microsoft Outlook.
  • Respond promptly to inquiries from administrators, students, and parents.
  • Exhibit effective classroom management skills and professionalism in both remote and in-person environments.
  • Participate in required training and professional development sessions.

Required Qualifications:

  • A bachelor's degree in any field.
  • Demonstrated commitment to diversity, inclusion, and educational equity.
  • A passion for facilitating student success.
  • Ability to showcase academic proficiency in English, math, reading, and science.
  • Access to a computer equipped with a webcam, microphone, and a reliable internet connection (minimum 100 Mbps download and upload speed) for virtual instruction.
  • Availability of at least 10 hours per week.
  • All tutors/instructors must be capable of teaching all subjects covered on the ACT.
