Job description

Part-Time Academic Coach | Tutor - STEM Subjects

One-on-One Teaching + Executive Function Coaching

The best coaches do more than explain academic content-- they help students become confident, independent learners. At The Enrichery, you’ll combine subject-matter support with executive functioning instruction, teaching skills like organization, time management, prioritization, study strategies, and follow-through. This isn’t traditional tutoring or homework help-- it’s an opportunity to become a trusted mentor and make an impact that lasts far beyond the next test.

Join One of Houston’s Best—and Fastest-Growing—Workplaces

The Enrichery was ranked one of the Top Workplaces in Houston by the Houston Chronicle in 2025 and 2026, and recently named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies. We’re growing quickly, creating opportunities for exceptional coaches to grow their skills and take on greater responsibility with us.

Hear directly from our coaches about why they love working at The Enrichery.

What You’ll Do

• Work one-on-one with high school students
• Explain academic content clearly and adapt your approach when a student isn’t understanding
• Help students strengthen executive functioning skills such as planning, organization, time management, task initiation, and study strategies
• Build meaningful relationships that help students feel supported and capable
• Coach students toward greater confidence, independence, and responsibility
• Maintain a consistent schedule of recurring weekly sessions

Every new coach completes a robust, paid training program designed to help you become a stronger teacher, mentor, and communicator. Our training program will help you not only in our workplace, but in your own life too!

Our Coach Trainer brings more than 30 years of teaching experience to your training program. Through hands-on training, shadowing, proven resources, and ongoing guidance, you’ll learn how to:

• Help students become more confident and independent learners

We don’t simply give you a student roster and expect you to figure it out. You’ll have experienced leadership, practical resources, and a collaborative team behind you.

A Better Way to Tutor

We’ve designed this role so you can spend more of your available time coaching students-- not driving between appointments, stressed out in Houston traffic or managing the logistics of scheduling multiple families.

• Students can be scheduled back-to-back within your preferred availability
• No driving from one student’s home to another
• No added gas expenses or wear on your vehicle between tutoring appointments
• No finding your own clients or coordinating schedules with multiple families
• Recurring weekly sessions provide greater consistency and better student results

Compensation and Schedule

• $18–$25 per hour, depending on experience and qualifications
• W-2 employment— not a 1099 contractor role
