Descrição da oferta de emprego

ACT/SAT Tutor & School Programs Teacher

Department: Education

Employment Type: Part Time

Location: Chicago

Compensation: $35.00 - $47.00 / hour

Description

Compensation: $35/hour for 1-on-1 tutoring; $47/hour for classroom instruction

Academic Approach is firmly committed to creating a diverse workplace and is proud to provide equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, gender identity and/or expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, genetics, marital status, amnesty status, or veteran status. Applicants of diverse backgrounds, skillsets, and experiences are especially encouraged to apply.

About Academic Approach: Academic Approach began with a focused mission: to mentor students while building their key academic skills. Join our team of dedicated educators to deliver rewarding, highly personalized, high-impact 1-on-1 and classroom course instruction.

About the Role: While many of our 1-on-1 tutoring students and school partners prefer to work virtually, we are currently looking exclusively for candidates who are also willing to tutor in-person at our Lincoln Park office and teach in-person on the campuses of our partner schools. Please note that this is not a full-time position, and it will not be a good fit for those seeking full-time work; while average hours per week vary drastically from instructor to instructor and can vary seasonally, most of our instructors average 8-12 instructional hours per week.

We are looking for new tutors/teachers to add to our team for at least the duration of the 2026-27 school year. If you are unable to commit to at least one full school year, we respectfully ask that you not apply.

About our Content Quiz: Please note that--due to the nature of this tutor/instructor position--all candidates will need to complete a content quiz that includes English and math questions prior to being considered for an interview. This (untimed) quiz should take approximately 30-45 mins to complete.

About our Training: We believe strongly in our robust training. Our training modules are each a combination of synchronous sessions with a trainer and asynchronous work. We identify each candidate's best pathway through our trainings and send personalized invitations to training that include more details. All trainings are paid.
