We are building a team of tutors and advisors to support students through online group classes and individual guidance. Our work covers university orientation, admissions preparation, and application support across different tracks, including the US, UK, Europe, and other destinations.

Depending on your background and preferences, you may support one or more of the following:
SAT and test preparation
English and academic writing
Essay brainstorming and feedback
University orientation and admissions systems
US, UK, and European application guidance
University research and school-list building
Activities, CVs, and personal profile development
Interview and financial-aid preparation
You do not need to cover every area. Assignments will be matched to your academic background, experience, strengths, and preferred areas of support.
Responsibilities
Online group classes
Lead engaging online sessions for groups of students
Teach topics such as SAT preparation, English, writing, and general university preparation
Explain university admissions systems, timelines, and requirements
Support students with practical exercises and clear next steps
Individual student support

Requirements
Currently enrolled as a junior or senior, or an alumnus or recent graduate of a leading university
Demonstrated experience in tutoring, teaching, mentoring, admissions advising, essay editing, writing support, or a related area
Strong knowledge of at least one relevant subject or admissions track
Strong written and spoken English
Excellent communication, organization, and follow-up skills
Comfortable teaching online and working with students independently
Reliable, patient, and able to provide thoughtful feedback
Candidates may come from universities such as Princeton, Harvard, Oxford, NYU, or other comparable institutions. However, university background alone is not enough. We are especially interested in candidates with practical experience supporting students.
Important expectations
Tutors and advisors must maintain professional boundaries. They should not write applications or essays on behalf of students, or guarantee admission, scholarships, visas, or test scores.
This is a flexible, assignment-based role. Compensation is based on approved hours completed and documented, including group classes, individual sessions, preparation, and feedback.
