Job Requirements

• Prior experience teaching or tutoring AP-level Math/Science, SAT/ACT Test Prep, or both (willingness to complete our paid test prep training is a major plus if you only teach AP STEM). Candidates must be living in or near the Miami area and able to consistently commute to in-person, in-home sessions in Miami Beach and Coconut Grove surrounding areas, even though many students will be remote.
• Bachelor's degree required.

• Tutoring hours primarily occur during weekday evenings (after 3:00 PM) and/or on weekends. Typical weekly availability is Sunday–Thursday. Sunday availability is required.

Compensation/Benefits:

• Wage: $60-$70/hr (remote academic tutoring in high school subjects starts at $60/hr, while remote test prep tutoring starts at $70/hr) 
• A bonus of +$10 per hour is applied for any in-person work
• Additional compensation for training and administrative functions 
• Flexible schedule
• Pathway to full-time – based on experience, performance, and subject range

• Informational Interview with a Talent Team member (30 minutes, focused on core values alignment, availability, and expectations).
• Roleplay Tutoring Interview with a Tutor Manager (45-60 minutes, designed to assess instructional effectiveness, teaching style, and student interaction).
