Applied Mathematics Internship Jobs in Reston, VA

About ConnectPrep: Our goal is to redefine "tutoring" - to use data, insight, and our extensive teaching experience find solutions for our students. ConnectPrep is about connecting - connecting students, parents, educators, and the community. We have bold ideas and an eye towards the future.

The Opportunity: We are offering a Data Analyst Internship for qualified candidates. This is a cross-disciplinary role, both instructional and technical.

This knowledge will then be synthesized into actionable tests to build modules that will assist in identifying the academic needs of each individual student. You will engage with team members that think outside of the box, with the goal of improving education through the creation of a data infrastructure and insightful analytics.
