Job Description

Summit is looking to hire in-home, one-on-one, test prep tutors to service Fairfield County, CT (Greenwich, Stamford, CT, Darien, Westport, New Canaan, for example)  and a small portion of Westchester County, NY (Rye, NY, New Rochelle, for example) . Applicants must have a bachelor's degree to be considered. As well as a willingness to tutor all sections of both the SAT and ACT - this, after comprehensive paid training, of course - but a baseline knowledge of high school ELA & math content is needed. Classroom instruction experience is a big plus!

The Overview:

Founded in 1988, our team of experts has calmly, caringly, and expertly guided thousands of families through the process of preparing their students to be critical thinkers and lifelong learners.

Our family of brands includes Applerouth Education, ESM Prep, College Match Point, UES, Metro Academic Prep, and Launch Precollege Labs. Together, Summit and these brands provide a full suite of services including academic tutoring, college counseling, executive function coaching, and test preparation to students across the world.

New tutors undergo paid training to equip them with comprehensive knowledge of both the SAT and ACT, along with pedagogical strategies suitable for any learning style.
