Note: Read application instructions carefully before applying

We are seeking dynamic, inspiring, and effective test prep tutors to join our team, working both virtually and in students' homes across Manhattan. If you’re passionate about education and have a knack for making complex concepts simple, this is your chance to make a meaningful difference.

About us

Ivy Tutor is an emerging tutoring and college advising group. We pride ourselves on delivering memorable tutoring experiences to students in Manhattan and New Jersey as well as a non-local clientele. Our mission is to empower students to reach their full potential and achieve exceptional results on test day.

About you

Natural teaching ability is the most important requirement. The best applicants will be those who can efficiently break down complex concepts into plain language. Applicants will be asked to explain concepts during the interview process. We seek tutors who embrace an evidence-based ethos. To the extent possible, we do what evidence tells us will work or suggests will work. Some tutoring experience is preferred, but we will train candidates who possess natural gifts.

Why Work For Us:

• Flexible work hours:Just tell us the days and times you will be consistently available.
• No scheduling headaches:Our scheduling assistant will work as a liaison between you and your students.
• Great students and supportive parents:As a test prep expert, parents and students will defer to your judgment for all things test related.
• Paid training:We value the time you will spend learning high value skills.
• $70/hr for live virtual instruction
• $90/hr for live in-home tutoring in Manhattan
• Compensation for all onboarding and training time
• 100% public transportation reimbursement
• W-2 employee status — tutors take home about 7% more compared to contractors earning the same hourly rate
• Bonus opportunities available for performance, initiative, and curriculum development

Note:Tutors typically see a 50/50 split between virtual and in-home tutoring. For every hour of live instruction, tutors can expect to spend roughly 15 minutes on lesson prep, review and communication.

Responsibilities

• Provide personalized tutoring to students focusing on test preparation, particularly in Math.
• Utilize teaching skills to effectively convey complex concepts in a clear and understandable manner.
• Adapt curriculum to meet the needs of individual students.
• Plan and execute lessons tailored to students' learning styles and needs.
• Write recap of each lesson.

What we require:

• Record of 1450+ on SAT or 33+ ACT. Equivalents from other exams (e.g., GRE or GMAT) are acceptable
• Comfort teaching SAT & ACT Math in addition to verbal sections
• Bachelor's degree from a top-tier college or a graduate degree from a Research I (also known as R1) university
• Reside in the New York Metropolitan Area
• 50+ hours of documented or verifiable tutoring/teaching experience
• 2 year commitment

What we prefer:

• Math and Science Tutoring Versatility

How to apply:

• Do not apply through the LinkedIn platform. Instead, email us directly [e-mail] the subject line:Test Prep Tutor – New York.
• In the body of your email, please share with us why you're interested in test prep tutoring and how this role fits into your broader personal and professional trajectory.
• Applicants who meet the job requirements (e.g., bachelor’s degree, NYC-area residency, etc.) will receive a response.
