AP Science Tutor & Executive Functioning Coach

AP Science Tutor & Executive Functioning Coach

Conscious Learning is seeking a warm, engaging, and academically strong AP Science Tutor & Executive Functioning Coach to work one-on-one with middle school, high school, and college students.

This is a great role for someone who loves science but also understands that academic success is about more than knowing the material. Many of our students are bright and capable but need additional support with organization, time management, task initiation, study strategies, planning, and developing effective academic routines.

The ideal candidate can both teach challenging science concepts clearly and help students develop the executive functioning skills they need to become more confident, independent learners.

Responsibilities

Provide one-on-one tutoring in advanced high school science courses, particularly AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and/or AP Physics

Break complex scientific concepts into clear, manageable explanations

Help students prepare for quizzes, exams, AP exams, labs, and long-term assignments

Teach effective science-specific study strategies, including active recall, practice problems, diagramming, spaced repetition, and test preparation

Support students with executive functioning skills such as:

Time management and planning

Organization

Task initiation and procrastination

Prioritizing assignments

Breaking large projects into manageable steps

Developing study schedules and routines

Managing school portals, calendars, and upcoming deadlines

Help students develop systems that encourage greater academic independence rather than relying on parents to manage their schoolwork

Build strong, supportive relationships with students while maintaining appropriate accountability

Communicate student progress, strategies, and recommendations through brief post-session notes

Collaborate with parents and the Conscious Learning team when appropriate

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree completed or in progress in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Neuroscience, Engineering, Pre-Med, or another science-related field

Strong academic background in at least one AP-level science subject

Ability to explain difficult concepts in a way that is approachable and easy to understand

Strong communication and interpersonal skills

Patient, encouraging, dependable, and comfortable working with adolescents

Strong personal organization and time-management skills

Comfortable working independently in a remote environment

Preferred Qualifications

Previous tutoring, teaching, mentoring, coaching, TA, or academic support experience

Experience working with students with ADHD, learning differences, anxiety, or executive functioning challenges

Experience tutoring AP-level coursework

Familiarity with Google Calendar, Google Drive, school learning-management systems, and other academic organization tools

Background in pre-health, medicine, engineering, research, or another STEM field

What We're Looking For

We're especially interested in someone who can meet students where they are. Our coaches are not simply homework helpers. We want students to understand how to learn, how to plan, and how to solve problems independently.

A strong coach can recognize when a student needs direct academic instruction, when they need help developing a system, and when they simply need someone to help them get started and stay accountable.

Sessions are conducted virtually and are typically 50 minutes long. Scheduling is based on coach availability and student demand, with the greatest need generally occurring during after-school, evening, and weekend hours.

Position: Part-time
Location: Remote
Schedule: Flexible; after-school/evening and weekend availability strongly preferred
