Can I work remotely?
No. All first year tutors will need to work from our office in Sorrento Valley, CA. We've found that our tutors who train during the first year at the office are more spirited and effective.
Must I have prior tutoring experience?
No. In fact, some of our best tutors had ZERO tutoring experience. The right personality and passion for teaching/coaching are essential to success. That's why we provide all new tutors with training. You will be required to attend weekly training sessions. The tutors who learn to become great tutors answer yes to the following questions.
Do you love teaching your friends and family members about new topics?
Do you love learning?
Were you a better student than most of your peers at school?
Are you okay with a 3pm to 9pm work day?
Are you okay working on Saturday or Sunday?
Is this job part-time or full-time?
This is a part-time job with the potential to reach full-time. Part-time tutors assist students for 15+ hours per week (career tutors assist students 30+ hours each week). Since most tutors don't start with students until 3p during the school year (Sep-June), tutors have plenty of time to pursue other interests.
Can you guarantee a specific number of hours each week?
No, but our tutors consistently fill their schedules. We are a small organization (less than 12 tutors) that has a strong reputation (22+ years in business) among schools and families throughout San Diego. If you're great at tutoring, we're confident you'll fill your schedule within a few months.
Can I set my own schedule?
We ask our tutors to provide available tutoring hours at least 3 days each week, as well as one weekend day. Most students prefer to meet weekdays between 3p and 8p and throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday. We will help you fill your schedule of available tutoring hours. Only apply if you have afternoon and evening time available for tutoring on weekdays. A typical tutor schedule, for example, is Sunday through Thursday, we encourage you to apply.
Does this job have growth potential?
Absolutely. Several of our part-time tutors are now career tutors with full benefits. We encourage all team members to cross train. Our most popular tutors can provide tutoring for ACT, SAT, AP exams, several high school classes, and college application essays.
