Job description

Position Overview

Prep Academy Tutors of Atlanta is looking for exceptional educators who believe that the right instruction, delivered in the right environment, can make a lasting difference in a student’s academic journey.

We are seeking experienced, certified teachers and highly qualified educators to provide personalized, one-on-one tutoring to students in grades K–12 throughout the Atlanta, Georgia area.

Our tutors work directly with students in their homes, creating focused learning environments where students can ask questions, build skills, strengthen confidence, and make meaningful academic progress.

This role is especially well suited for current or former classroom teachers who enjoy the individualized nature of tutoring and want the opportunity to work closely with students outside of a traditional classroom setting.

About Prep Academy Tutors

Prep Academy Tutors provides premium, individualized tutoring designed around the unique needs of each student and family. Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach, we meet students where they are and develop instruction around their academic goals, learning style, strengths, and areas for growth.

Our Atlanta team is committed to delivering high-quality, relationship-based educational support in the comfort and convenience of students’ homes. We believe strong tutoring is about more than completing assignments—it is about helping students become more capable, confident, and independent learners.

What You’ll Do

As An Academic Tutor, You Will

• Deliver engaging, one-on-one instruction to K–12 students in the student’s home
• Provide support in areas such as Mathematics, English Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, and other academic subjects within your expertise
• Adapt lessons and instructional strategies to each student’s individual learning needs
• Reinforce classroom instruction, strengthen foundational skills, and help students master challenging concepts
• Assist with homework, organization, study strategies, and preparation for assessments and standardized tests
• Identify areas of academic difficulty and develop targeted strategies for improvement
• Establish positive, professional relationships with students and their families
• Monitor student progress and communicate meaningful observations and updates
• Encourage students to take ownership of their learning and develop greater academic confidence
• Maintain a professional, supportive, and productive in-home learning environment
• Travel to students’ homes throughout the Atlanta, Georgia area

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Patience, professionalism, reliability, and a student-centered approach
• Excellent organization and time-management skills
• Reliable transportation and the ability to travel to student homes
• Authorization to work in the United States

Preference may be given to candidates who have:

• Current or recent experience as a certified classroom teacher

• One-on-one teaching in students’ homes
• The opportunity to use your classroom expertise in a more personalized setting
