Job description

ALB Tutoring is a virtual, comprehensive educational organization that teaches students to Always Learn Better.

We are an ensemble of educational therapists and educators who create custom plans based on students' individual histories to meet defined objectives. The strategy is then implemented to reach academic and personal goals, boost confidence, and increase overall development. Our specialists help students become self-aware, understand their unique learning styles, leverage their strengths, address their areas for growth, and improve executive functioning.

This training is combined with academic tutoring, standardized test preparation, and college admission guidance to yield positive results and noticeable improvement. Students thrive personally and academically, becoming empowered to stay engaged, build self-efficacy, and reach outlined goals.

Our educational methods transcend the traditional; we weave conversations and social-emotional learning that provoke identity, autonomy, and skill development into our overall guidance. This is how we teach students to Always Learn Better.

ALB Tutoring is looking to invest in experienced Standardized Test Prep Tutors to work with high school students on SAT and ACT preparation. This is a specialist role: we want tutors whose practice is centered on test prep, not generalists who offer it alongside everything else.

ALB Tutoring is a woman-owned business and provides opportunities regardless of sex, race, creed, color, gender, religion, marital status, domestic partner status, age, national origin or ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical condition, sexual orientation, pregnancy, military or veteran status, citizenship status, and genetic information.

Why tutor with us?

• Tutor virtually (online) from anywhere!
• Set your own hours and schedule in agreement with students.
• Benefit from a coaching relationship with the founder of ALB Tutoring for professional growth and development.
• Starting rate $75 per 50-minute session, with higher rates for tutors who bring extensive, current SAT/ACT specialization, advanced credentials, or significant test prep experience.

Role Description

This is a remote, contract role. You work one-on-one and virtually with high school students preparing for the SAT and/or ACT.

Key responsibilities

• Deliver targeted SAT and/or ACT preparation to high school students in the United States, most specifically in the New York/Tri-State Area.
• Support students throughout their test preparation journey, including building content knowledge, test-taking strategies, and the confidence to perform at their best on exam day.
• Create and customize test prep plans tailored to each student's diagnostic results, target scores, and exam timeline.
• Use gradual release teaching to build students' independent application of skills and strategies.
• Maintain current knowledge of the tests you support - format, timing, scoring, and recent changes - and teach students to work effectively in the digital testing environment, including the tools built into the exam platform.
• Scaffold different types of learners at all stages of their academic progress: students with processing delays, working memory deficits, and other minor/moderate Specific Learning Disorders.
• Help students recognize and develop strategies to work through test anxiety, building confidence and motivation throughout the preparation process.
• Track students' progression in scores and performance: monitor diagnostic results, practice section and test scores, and session progress to adjust instruction.
• Communicate proactively and professionally with students, families, and the ALB Tutoring team; build supportive relationships and maintain high standards of professionalism.
• Maintain an accurate calendar in Teachworks, complete student trimester evaluations, and meet regularly with ALB Tutoring leadership to discuss student progress.
