About Academic Approach :

Academic Approach began with a focused mission : to mentor students while building their key academic skills. Join our team of dedicated educators to deliver rewarding, highly personalized, high-impact 1-on-1 and classroom course instruction.

About the Role :

While many of our 1-on-1 tutoring students prefer to work virtually, this job posting is exclusively for applicants who are interested in tutoring in-person at our Winnetka office.  Please note that this is not a full-time position, and it will not be a good fit for those seeking full-time work; while average hours per week vary drastically from instructor to instructor, most of our instructors average around 8-12 instructional hours per week.

About our Content Quiz :

Please note that due to the nature of this tutor / instructor position all candidates will need to complete a content quiz that includes verbal and math questions prior to being considered for an interview. This (untimed) quiz should take approximately 30-45 mins to complete.

About our Training :

We believe strongly in our robust training, which for this role includes approximately 33 hours of combined synchronous and asynchronous work.  This (paid) training module (which we call our 1-on-1 Gateway Training) typically takes place over the course of 2-3 weeks.  All synchronous sessions are conducted virtually.
