Fulshear, TX • On-site

Job description

About the Role:
SiSTEM is hiring experienced ISEE and SSAT test prep tutors to work with motivated students and families in the Houston area.

This is not a volume tutoring gig. Our tutors work as trusted academic partners with families who value expertise, helping students master the content, develop strong test-taking strategies, and earn the scores they need to gain admission to top private and independent schools.

If you can tutor any of the following, we want to hear from you:
ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam)
ISEE Primary (Grades 2–4 entry):
  • Auditory Comprehension.
  • Reading Comprehension.
  • Verbal Reasoning.
  • Mathematics.
  • Writing Sample.
ISEE Lower Level (Grades 5–6 entry:
  • Verbal Reasoning (synonyms and sentence completions).
  • Quantitative Reasoning.
  • Reading Comprehension.
  • Mathematics Achievement.
  • Essay Writing.

ISEE Middle Level (Grades 7–8 entry):
  • Verbal Reasoning (synonyms and sentence completions).
  • Quantitative Reasoning.
  • Reading Comprehension.
  • Mathematics Achievement.
  • Essay Writing.

ISEE Upper Level (Grades 9–12 entry):
  • Verbal Reasoning (synonyms and sentence completions).
  • Quantitative Reasoning.
  • Reading Comprehension.
  • Mathematics Achievement.
  • Essay Writing.

SSAT (Secondary School Admission Test):
SSAT Elementary Level (Grades 3–4):
  • Verbal (synonyms and analogies).
  • Quantitative (math).
  • Reading Comprehension.
  • Writing Sample.

SSAT Middle Level (Grades 5–7):
  • Verbal (synonyms and analogies).
  • Quantitative (two math sections).
  • Reading Comprehension.
  • Writing Sample.

SSAT Upper Level (Grades 8–11):
  • Verbal (synonyms and analogies).
  • Quantitative (two math sections).
  • Reading Comprehension.
  • Writing Sample.
Test Strategy and Score Optimization:
  • Full-length diagnostic test administration and score analysis.
  • Targeted skill-building based on diagnostic results.
  • Pacing, time management, and question-skipping strategy.
  • Process of elimination and educated guessing techniques.
  • Test anxiety management and confidence building.
  • Score goal setting based on target school admission profiles.
  • ISEE vs. SSAT comparison and test selection guidance for families unsure which exam their target school requires.
Subject-Specific ISEE/SSAT Support:
  • Vocabulary building and synonym/analogy strategies for verbal sections.
  • Reading comprehension strategies for fiction, nonfiction, and poetry passages.
  • Math content review and problem-solving strategies for quantitative sections.
  • Essay writing coaching and prompt practice for the writing sample.
  • Quantitative comparison strategies (ISEE-specific).
  • Analogy strategies (SSAT-specific).

School-Specific Admissions Test Prep:
  • Prep aligned to specific Houston-area private and independent school requirements (Kinkaid, St. John's, Emery/Weiner, Awty International, Episcopal High School, Second Baptist, The Village School, Strake Jesuit, St. Agnes, Duchesne, St. Thomas, Houston Christian, Westbury Christian, and others).
  • Understanding which schools require ISEE, which require SSAT, and which accept both.
  • Score benchmarking relative to target school competitiveness.

You do not need to tutor every level or every exam. If you specialize in ISEE Upper Level only, or SSAT Middle Level only, or just the math sections, or just the verbal sections, or anything in between, we want you on our team.
About SiSTEM:
SiSTEM is an academic guidance platform that builds personalized roadmaps for students in grades K–12. Every student on SiSTEM has a plan. Tutors are a key part of that plan and are matched to students based on specific needs, not random availability.

We started as a tutoring agency in Texas, grew to 300+ tutors serving 10,000+ students, and are now launching a platform that gives educators better tools, better-matched students, and the ability to build a real client base.

What You'll Do:
  • Work one-on-one with students to provide focused ISEE and/or SSAT preparation.
  • Diagnose strengths and weaknesses through practice tests and targeted assessments.
  • Build a personalized prep plan based on each student's starting score, target school, and test date.
  • Teach test-taking strategies, pacing, and score optimization across all sections.
  • Help students build confidence and reduce test anxiety through structured practice.
  • Coach students on the writing sample to produce clear, compelling essays under time pressure.
  • Track score progress and adjust strategy as students improve
  • Communicate with families on progress, projected scores, and admissions readiness.
  • Maintain high standards of preparation and professionalism.

What We're Looking For:
We are selective about who joins the SiSTEM team.

Strong candidates typically have:
3+ years of ISEE/SSAT tutoring or private school test prep experience
  • Proven results in helping students gain admission to their target private or independent schools.
  • Deep familiarity with current ISEE and/or SSAT formats, question types, scoring, and section-by-section strategies.
  • Experience working with motivated students and families who are targeting competitive private school admissions.
  • Clear, patient communication and the ability to make test prep feel structured and manageable for young students who may be testing for the first time.
  • Professional reliability.

Bonus: tutors with experience at Houston-area private schools (as teachers, admissions staff, or alumni), tutors who have prepped students successfully for Kinkaid, St. John's, Emery/Weiner, or other competitive Houston-area schools, educators with experience working with younger students (grades 2–6) on standardized test prep, tutors who can advise families on the private school application process beyond just the test.

Why Tutors Join SiSTEM:
  • You set your own rates. And you keep 100% of what you earn.
  • Matched with students who fit your expertise. No random assignments. Students are matched to you based on test type, level, learning needs, and your teaching strengths.
  • Bring your current students with you. Already have clients? Add them to the platform for free. Use SiSTEM's tools to manage your existing students alongside new ones at no extra cost.
  • Families are already invested. SiSTEM parents are paying for a plan. They're engaged, responsive, and serious about their child's growth.
  • We handle the marketing. You don't have to find clients. We bring families to you.
  • Tools to manage your business. Scheduling, session tracking, and student relationship tools built into the platform.
  • Build a long-term client base. Students on SiSTEM stay for years, not weeks.
