• Academic knowledge base: Ability to tutor certain high school academic subjects, with a strong preference for math and science familiarity.
• Willingness to work on non-teaching tasks such as developing our proprietary materials or writing blog posts.

• Enthusiastic and engaged: The right candidate would enjoy working with students of all ages, and this enthusiasm must be evident.
• Tutoring or teaching experience: We prefer at least six months of prior teaching or tutoring experience.
• Eager to learn and grow our practice: We are looking for a person who is eager to take on new learning opportunities and who is eager to grow our business through word of mouth referrals.
