Job description

If you love teaching but not the bureaucracy that usually comes with it, this may be your kind of job.

Tried & True Education is hiring part-time summer instructors to teach SAT/ACT, math, writing, and related subjects in structured programs for high school students.

This is a summer hiring push, but strong instructors may also have opportunities with us during the school year.

What instructors say:

“It was a plug-and-play experience. All of the materials I needed were there, the training was there, and the support was there.”

–Dr. Jimmy Holloway, Jr., Instructor

“You get to be a kind of rock star for a little while. It’s fun, exciting, and a really enjoyable experience.”

–Shaun McMillan, Instructor

Who this role is a good fit for

People who love this job include teachers, tutors, mentors, coaches, camp staff, youth leaders, and other strong communicators who are good with students.

This role tends to be a strong fit if you:

  • are strong in math and/or writing
  • like helping students build confidence
  • can lead a room in a warm, positive way
  • want work that feels meaningful

What you may teach

We are primarily seeking SAT/ACT instructors, but we also have opportunities to teach:

  • Math and Writing
  • Life Skills (financial literacy, self-advocacy)
  • STEM classes (coding, robotics)
  • Arts classes (acting, improv, film, video production)

You do not need experience in all of these areas. We are not looking for one person to do everything. Strong communication and the ability to connect with students matter just as much as subject experience.

Why people like this role

  • Competitive compensation
  • Paid training
  • Curriculum provided
  • Supportive team
  • Engaging students

If you enjoy the actual act of teaching, this role keeps the focus there.

About the students

We work with high school students preparing for college and bigger opportunities. Many are first-generation, from modest-income backgrounds, or figuring out the college path without much built-in guidance.

These are structured programs with students who are there to learn. This is not a heavy discipline role. It is a good fit for instructors who like connecting with students, teaching well, and helping them feel capable.

We have great instructors from all kinds of backgrounds, but if your own path included scholarships like Zelle Miller or Hope, being first-generation, or figuring things out on your own, that may help you connect especially well with our students.
