The role
We're looking for a tutor who can genuinely help students — whether they're trying to keep up, catch up, or get ahead. This is hands-on, one-on-one or small-group work with K-12 students across core subjects and standardized test prep (SAT, ACT, or state exams). The students you work with will range in age, ability, and confidence. Your job is to meet them where they are.

- Work directly with K-12 students in individual or small-group sessions across subjects like math, reading, writing, and science- Develop and adapt lesson plans based on each student's needs, learning style, and goals- Prepare students for standardized tests — SAT, ACT, PSAT, or state-level assessments — including strategy, timing, and content review- Track student progress and adjust your approach when something isn't working- Communicate clearly with students (and sometimes parents) about where they stand and what comes next- Keep sessions focused and productive — 5 to 10 hours per week, scheduled around student availability
About you
- Strong command of at least one core subject area (math, English, science, or humanities)- Experience working with school-age kids in any setting — tutoring, coaching, teaching, mentoring- Comfortable with standardized test formats and prep strategies- Patient, organized, and able to explain the same thing four different ways without losing your cool- Currently enrolled in or recently completed a degree in Education, Psychology, a subject-specific field, or something related
Nice to have
- Experience with multiple grade levels or subject areas- Familiarity with IEPs, learning differences, or differentiated instruction- Bilingual or multilingual — especially Spanish
What we offer
- Flexible part-time hours that work around your schedule- Meaningful, direct impact on students' academic outcomes- A supportive environment where good tutors are given real autonomy
