Job description

Compensation: $35/hour for 1-on-1 tutoring; $47/hour for classroom instruction
Academic Approach is firmly committed to creating a diverse workplace and is proud to provide equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, gender identity and/or expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, genetics, marital status, amnesty status, or veteran status. Applicants of diverse backgrounds, skillsets, and experiences are especially encouraged to apply.   
About Academic Approach:
Academic Approach began with a focused mission: to mentor students while building their key academic skills. Join our team of dedicated educators to deliver rewarding, highly personalized, high-impact 1-on-1 and classroom course instruction.
About the Role: 
We are currently looking for candidates who are interested in tutoring 1-1 students in-person at our Winnetka offices.  Please note that this is not a full-time position, and it will not be a good fit for those seeking full-time work; while average hours per week vary drastically from instructor to instructor, most of our instructors average 8-12 instructional hours per week.
We are looking for new instructors to add to our team for at least the duration of the 2026-27 school year.  If you are unable to commit to at least one full school year, we respectfully ask that you not apply.
About our Content Quiz:
Please note that--due to the nature of this tutor/instructor position--all candidates will need to complete a content quiz that includes English and math questions prior to being considered for an interview. This (untimed) quiz should take approximately 30-45 mins to complete.
About our Training:
We believe strongly in our robust training.  Our training modules are each a combination of synchronous sessions with a trainer and asynchronous work. We identify each candidate's best pathway through our trainings and send personalized invitations to training that include more details.  All trainings are paid.
A Successful Academic Approach Tutor & School Programs Teacher:
  • Prioritizes their students, leading with curiosity, compassion, and enthusiasm for their success.
  • Maintains a growth mindset, incorporating the instructional best practices from extensive training and coaching to lead their students to success.
  • Consistently maintains professionalism in all facets of the role, actively collaborating with students, clients, and colleagues in pursuit of program success.
  • Deliver engaging, specialized academic and test-prep instruction to high school (and some middle school) students, primarily in-person in the Winnetka office.
  • Build relationships in a supportive and professional manner.
  • Maintain an accurate calendar in Microsoft Outlook.
  • Respond to administrators, students, and parents in a timely manner.
  • Demonstrate management skills and professionalism in both remote and in-person settings.
  • Attend required training and professional development events.
  • A bachelor's degree in any subject or major.  We are always looking for academic content experts for our AP Exam and Academic support programs, especially in maths, sciences, and humanities.  While not a requirement for this role, we give preference to candidates with content expertise; please consider which topics you would be comfortable teaching.
  • Demonstrated commitment to diversity, inclusion, and educational equity.
  • Passion for supporting student success.
  • Ability to demonstrate academic expertise in English, math, reading, and science. 
    • All of our Tutors/Teachers must teach all subjects on the ACT.
  • Access to a computer with a webcam, mic, and a reliable internet connection (with at least 100 mbps download and 100 mbps upload speed) for virtual instruction.
  • Consistent availability of at least 10 hours per week.
  • Competitive pay, starting at $35/hr for 1-on-1 tutoring and $47/hr for classroom teaching with potential for increases bi-annually based on performance.  Compensation for in-person tutoring at our Winnetka office currently starts at $50/hour.  
    • Please note that this compensation is specifically for instructional time.
  • Flexibility in building your schedule while supporting the needs of our students.
  • Robust (paid) training.
  • Personalized coaching and development, support, and continuing education.
  • Exceptional proprietary curriculum and instructional materials.
  • Travel compensation for school programs that require a commute of at least 30 minutes and 15 miles.
  • Friendly, respectful, supportive culture focused on best supporting students.
