Job description

Do you believe that a great instructor can inspire a student to achieve their potential?

Do you want to help more students and parents benefit from a service that makes a difference?

Are you looking for the opportunity to show your employer, your students, and yourself what you’re capable of as a teacher?

Collegewise is looking for part‑time tutors to instruct high school students in the ACT, SAT, ISEE/SSAT, Subject Tests, AP exams, IB subjects, academic subjects, and/or study skills and mentorship for passion projects. We’re also looking for instructors to teach the GRE, GMAT, LSAT, and MCAT for grad students.

Who We Are

Collegewise is a college counseling company that helps high school students confidently navigate their journey to college. Since 1999, we’ve helped more than 30,000 students apply and get accepted to schools—sometimes famous, often not—that they’re excited to attend. We do it all with just the right mix of advice, encouragement, and occasional cheerleading—all backed by data and experience—to ensure that each student’s college admissions process goes smoothly and thoughtfully. And our work doesn’t stop with students who enroll in our program. We speak in public, write, and constantly look for ways to spread relevant college planning information to anyone who needs it, whether or not they work with us. To learn more about our inspiring work, check out this short video.

The Collegewise Tutoring Team is a team of expert instructors that helps students specifically with academic development, standardized test preparation, and related skills.

What’s the job?

As a part‑time tutor, you’ll instruct students privately at our offices and online (via Zoom, e.g.). ACT/SAT tutors may also do some small group work with students. We’re looking for people who are able to work at least ten hours a week, though the number of hours you’ll be offered will depend on your subjects of expertise and the volume of demand. All instructors are expected to have availability most evenings and at least one weekend day to accommodate student schedules through the year. At the moment, we have a strong need for evening availability in Pacific Time.

If you are in a region of the US with a local Collegewise office, you’ll be part of a team that works with an existing trench of counseling students. We hope that your skills and results will drive additional referrals your way.

We’re not looking for people who equate part‑time hours with part‑time effort. This is less about the number of hours you work and more about the heart you bring to that work. And that engagement will go both ways here. You’ll have a dedicated manager who’s committed to your success. You’ll be treated like a valuable addition to our team, you’ll be invited to our company holiday party, and you’ll be considered for some of our most iconic annual awards. In fact, some of our most indispensable colleagues are part‑timers who have found their place here and now thrive doing their very best work.

You’ll work hard, in the evenings and on weekends when students are available. And you’ll also interact with parents who occasionally present you with customer service challenges. But you’ll have the training and support of your home office, clientele who appreciate your contributions, and the satisfaction of knowing you’re doing important work that helps kids get where they’re hoping to go.

Who are we looking for?

First, a few basics. You’ll need a four‑year college degree and the ability to score in the required percentile for your chosen subjects:

• ACT/SAT, Subject Tests, or AP exams: 99th percentile or above in selected subjects if you wish to tutor
• Academic subjects: 95th percentile on the associated Subject Test(s) or relevant experience teaching that subject
• GMAT, GRE, LSAT, and MCAT tutors: 95th percentile

But grades, test scores, and degrees don’t encapsulate tutors (or students). So here’s a little more about the type of person who will thrive here:

• We’re looking for someone who makes work a way of life without making it your actual life. Someone who’d rather be challenged by something important than phone it in for something mundane. You want to commit to a calling that matters to you, and you have high expectations of yourself, your job, and your employer.
• You believe that great teaching is an art, one that deserves to be nurtured, valued, and put to the best use in helping students.
• You are very comfortable relating to teens while simultaneously presenting yourself as a professional to adults. You’re astute, like a smarter, more responsible older brother or sister who remembers life as a teen but also knows the ropes around grown‑ups.
• You earn a reputation as someone who can be counted on. When you promise you’ll show up, literally or figuratively, you always show up. And you don’t need a list of policies to know you should be on time, prepared, and professional.
• You believe that every student has potential and you relish the chance to help them discover it. When a student struggles or a lesson just isn’t resonating, you see it not as a frustration that impedes your progress, but an opportunity to showcase your pedagogy.
• You’re comfortable flying solo but you also love lending a hand and being helpful to others. You enjoy success together with a team as much or even more than you do alone.
• And most importantly, you believe in the vision of Collegewise. You want to be part of a smarter, saner approach to improving grades and test scores.

Salary, start date, and location

The hourly rate for this role ranges from $30 to $50. We’d like our tutors to start as soon as possible but can adjust the starting dates for the right people. Our part‑time tutors can also qualify for health benefits (including medical, vision, and dental) and 401(k) matching after meeting eligibility requirements. In many areas–Newport Beach, CA; Austin, TX; Boston, MA; Berkeley Heights, NJ–we have offices where you may be requested for in‑person instruction.

If you have questions about the job, first, please make sure you’ve read the above information (as great tutors advise their test‑takers, always read the instructions carefully). If you still have questions our ad did not address, please contact us at [e-mail].

Thanks for reading our post. We’d love to hear from you, but if we don’t, we hope you find the perfect professional fit someplace else.
