Job description

Science Tutors Wanted! Beautiful Office, Great Training! $32.5-$40/hr. Join the most professional 1-on-1 tutoring team in the Bay Area. If you're bright, energetic, and eager to meet students in person, we'd love to talk with you!

Ideal Science tutors are:

  • Passionate about education
  • Experienced in working with students
  • An expert in high school chemistry, physics, or biology, and a college graduate
  • Conscientious, punctual, reliable, and on top of organizational tasks
  • Excellent at communicating with students, parents, and colleagues
  • Proactive and efficient in your work
  • Team-oriented and coachable
  • Enthusiastic and positive!

Science tutors must:

  • Have a 4 year college degree
  • Commit to a minimum of 15 tutoring hours per week with a few additional hours of administrative work
  • Tutor during after-school hours, including afternoons, evenings, and weekends
  • Work at AJ Tutoring through the end of the 2024/25 academic year

We offer Science tutors:

  • Strong hourly tutoring wages with compensation for admin time
  • Merit-based pay increases with the potential for benefits
  • Paid training and ongoing support from supervisors, mentors, and fellow tutors
  • A vibrant and supportive work environment at our centrally located offices throughout the Bay Area (so you're not wasting time stuck in traffic driving to students' houses)
  • Flexibility in the number of hours you work - we can accommodate part-time and full-time schedules

More about AJ Tutoring:

Since 2005, AJ Tutoring has grown almost exclusively via word of mouth because of the outstanding work of our tutors. Our goal is to provide a great tutoring experience for our students and their families, and we work hard to maintain our strong reputation in the Bay Area communities we serve. We have high standards for our tutors (if we hire you, you're among the best of the best!), and we provide extensive training and support in return.

Many of our tutors have a background in education. However, successful candidates may instead have experience in coaching, youth leadership, camp counseling, mentoring, or the performing arts. If you're exploring a long-term career path in education, that's a great fit for us, but tutoring at AJ will help you grow professionally no matter your future career.
