Job description

Description

​Compensation : $30 / hour for 1-on-1 tutoring; $47 / hour for classroom instruction

Academic Approach is firmly committed to creating a diverse workplace and is proud to provide equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, gender identity and / or expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, genetics, marital status, amnesty status, or veteran status. Applicants of diverse backgrounds, skillsets, and experiences are especially encouraged to apply.

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 and school partners prefer to work virtually, we are currently looking exclusively for candidates who are also willing to tutor in-person at our Lincoln Park and / or Winnetka offices and / or teach in-person on the campuses of our partner schools.  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 8-12 instructional hours per week.

At this juncture, we are looking for new tutors / teachers to add to our team for at least the duration of the 2025-26 school year.  If you are unable to commit to at least one full school year, we respectfully ask that you not apply.

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 English 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.  Our training modules are each a combination of synchronous sessions with a trainer and asynchronous work. We identify each candidate's best pathway through our trainings and send personalized invitations to training that include more details.  All trainings are paid.

A Successful Academic Approach Tutor & School Programs Teacher :

  • Prioritizes their students, leading with curiosity, compassion, and enthusiasm for their success.
  • Maintains a growth mindset, incorporating the instructional best practices from extensive training and coaching to lead their students to success.
  • Consistently maintains professionalism in all facets of the role, actively collaborating with students, clients, and colleagues in pursuit of program success.

Key Responsibilities

  • Deliver engaging specialized academic and test-prep instruction to high school (and some middle school) students across the Chicagoland area.
  • Build relationships in a supportive and professional manner.
  • Maintain an accurate calendar in Microsoft Outlook.
  • Respond to administrators, students, and parents in a timely manner.
  • Demonstrate classroom management skills and professionalism in both remote and in-person settings.
  • Attend required training and professional development events.
  • Required Qualifications

  • A bachelor's degree in any subject or major.
  • Demonstrated commitment to diversity, inclusion, and educational equity.
  • Passion for supporting student success.
  • Ability to demonstrate academic expertise in English, math, reading, and science.
  • All of our Tutors / Teachers must teach all subjects on the ACT.

  • Access to a computer with a webcam, mic, and a reliable internet connection (with at least 100 mbps download and 100 mbps upload speed) for virtual instruction.
  • Consistent availability of at least 10 hours per week.
  • What we offer

  • Competitive pay, starting at $30 / hr for 1-on-1 tutoring and $47 / hr for classroom teaching with potential for increases bi-annually based on performance.  Compensation for in-person tutoring at our Winnetka office currently starts at $45 / hour.
  • Please note that this compensation is specifically for instructional time only.

  • Flexibility in building your schedule while supporting the needs of our students.
  • Robust (paid) training.
  • Personalized coaching and development, support, and continuing education.
  • Exceptional proprietary curriculum and instructional materials.
  • Travel compensation for school programs that require a commute of at least 30 minutes and 15 miles.
