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.
