Job description

To be considered for this role, applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree before starting first day of work with Success Academy - a background in education is not required.

Thanks for your interest in Success Academy! Running a large, fast-growing, and high-performing network of public charter schools takes a village - families, children, teachers, staff and faculty, advocates, and supporters alike. We are growing fast in New York and expanding to Florida, and we would love to welcome you to our community! We work tirelessly every day to ensure children have access to a fun, rigorous, whole-child education regardless of zip code or economic status. When you join SA, you play a part in giving every student who walks through our doors a fair shot at reaching his or her potential.

Hiring for School Year 2026-27!

At Success Academy, we don't just hire teachers - we build them.

You don't need a background in education to launch your career with us. Whether you're a former test-taker who aced the SAT, a math or reading specialist, a tutor, a data analyst, or a recent college grad with a love of strategy and critical thinking - we'll equip you with the tools, training, and world-class coaching to help students conquer the SAT.

Why Success Academy?

More than the highest-performing K-12 charter school network in NYC, Success Academy is a launchpad for careers of significance. Our SAT Prep Teachers don't just teach content - they transform how students think, solve problems, and perform under pressure.

What We Look For

Teaching certification and Master's degrees are not required for this role.

Resilience, drive, and a winning mindset:

SAT prep is high-stakes and fast-paced. You'll coach students through frustration, build their confidence, and celebrate every point gained. You'll be challenged. You'll be coached. You'll grow.

A commitment to excellence:

You know the SAT inside and out - the patterns, the traps, the timing strategies. You execute a proven playbook, plan meticulously, and sweat the details because a single skill gap can cost a student points. Structure and consistency create space for kids to thrive.

Total belief in every student:

You’ll never accept "I'm just not a good test-taker." Here, we 100% commit to getting 100% of our kids into 4-year colleges, and strong SAT scores are a critical part of that path.

Passion for content and a love of the game:

You find the SAT genuinely interesting - its logic, its quirks, its predictability once you crack the code. Whether your strength is Reading & Writing or Math, you bring real enthusiasm and a hunger to keep refining your craft.
