About The Position

Prep Academy Tutors of Northern Virginia is looking for exceptional educators who believe that the right instruction, delivered in the right environment, can make a lasting difference in a student’s academic journey. We are seeking experienced, certified teachers and highly qualified educators to provide personalized, one-on-one tutoring to high school students in the Fairfax, Virginia area. We are looking for teachers with expertise across all high school subject areas, including Mathematics, English, Science, Social Studies, World Languages, and other academic disciplines.

This role is especially well suited for current or former high school classroom teachers who enjoy the individualized nature of tutoring and want the opportunity to work closely with students outside of a traditional classroom setting.

Our Northern Virginia team is committed to delivering high-quality, relationship-based educational support in the comfort and convenience of students’ homes.
