AP English & SAT Reading/Writing Tutor (In-Person)

Principia Education is looking for an English tutor with excellent communication skills and a love for helping students.

A bit about us:

We're a one-stop shop for our students' educational needs, covering all academic subjects, test prep, and college consulting. Our ultimate goal is to distill teaching to the core elements that made us fall in love with it in the first place: focusing on content rather than classroom management; celebrating creativity and flexibility rather than a one-size-fits-all approach; and above all, building long-term relationships with students and families.

Our team is a group of empathetic and excellent communicators, and we're looking for a teacher who takes pride in their attention to detail, reliability, and excellent interpersonal skills.

Here’s what you’ll do:

• Conduct SAT reading/writing, ACT reading/writing, AP English Language, AP English Literature, and general English sessions (creative writing content or SSAT/HSPT would be a plus!)
• Communicate directly with families in a professional and timely manner.
• Coordinate with Principia leadership and operations staff to maintain a positive environment and our exceptional standards.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

• Bachelor's degree required.
• A weekly commitment of at least 10+ availabile teaching hours in our McLean office. 
• Flexibility to work both weekday evenings and weekends.
• Long-term plans to stay in the education field part-time—we ask for at least a one-year commitment.

Here’s why you should join us!

• Compensation: We start at $50 per hour for all sessions, and our most experienced, tenured instructors make over $100 per hour for sessions.
• Training: We provide comprehensive paid training, with multiple hours for each subject/content area, including shadowing fellow instructors and live sessions with students, mock teaching and instruction modeling with our leadership team, and meetings for session planning to ensure you feel supported and prepared.
• Impact: Join our team of curriculum experts, dynamic instructors, and college consultants dedicated to supporting families with every step of their student’s academic journey.
• Community: We hang out! We have regular get-togethers and every quarter fly-in our remote staff for company-sponsored events — take a look here for some recent ones 

No phone calls, please! Apply and we'll be in touch if we're interested in moving forward. Please note that testing and a teaching sample will be included in our interview process.
