Job description

Who We Are

Our fundamental belief at Freudigman & Billings is that children learn best in the context of supportive relationships. We are committed to helping students better understand how they learn and how they can take ownership of that learning. Our team provides educational solutions for adolescents and children through individual assessment, personally tailored learning programs, and one-on-one coaching.

The Role

Our Math & Science Tutors provide individualized academic support to high school students across a range of coursework.

The ideal candidate is not simply a strong student or subject-matter expert, but also curious about how students learn and enjoy figuring out how to explain challenging concepts in ways that make sense to an individual student. Strong relationship-building skills, impeccable organization, critical thinking, and sound professional judgment are essential to success in this role.
