English Instructor (FT) Remote - MS
About The Position
At Vanguard College Prep, we are looking for educators ready to pay that forward. Where other test prep companies hire part-time gig workers to teach 'hacks,' we hire full-time professionals to build lasting core skills. We don't run an assembly line; we treat every student as an individual, preparing them for top-tier colleges and beyond. Teach and Inspire: Instruct small groups of students in their English core skills to promote long-term understanding of topics and top scores in their college readiness exams (ACT & SAT). Track Growth: Track your students’ progress as they move through Vanguard’s unique multi-phase curriculum, engaging students in individualized growth and improvement opportunities along the way. Manage and Model: Maintain and update student lesson schedules, hold them accountable for assignments, and model professionalism along with strong organizational skills through timely student communication. Innovate: Spearhead the development and creative execution of ever-evolving lesson plans and curriculum. Mentor: Guide middle and high school students with empathy and an innate understanding that the college application process is becoming increasingly competitive and stressful.
