SiSTEM • Sugar Land, TX

About The Position

SiSTEM is hiring experienced SAT and ACT test prep tutors to work with motivated students and families in the greater Houston area. This is not a volume tutoring gig. Our tutors work as trusted academic partners with families who value expertise, helping students build test-taking strategies, strengthen weak areas, and reach their target scores with confidence.

If you can tutor any of the following, we want to hear from you:

SAT Prep:
SAT Reading and Writing (digital format).
SAT Math (with and without calculator).
Full-length SAT diagnostic and practice test administration.
Score analysis and targeted skill-building plans.
Pacing, time management, and test-day strategies.
Digital SAT platform familiarity and navigation.

ACT Prep:
ACT English
ACT Math
ACT Reading
ACT Science
ACT Writing (optional essay)
Full-length ACT diagnostic and practice test administration.
Score analysis and targeted skill-building plans.
Pacing, time management, and test-day strategies.

PSAT / PreACT Prep:
PSAT/NMSQT preparation (National Merit Scholarship qualifying).
PSAT 10 and PSAT 8/9 early preparation.
PreACT preparation.
Score interpretation and goal-setting for younger students.

Test Strategy and Score Optimization:
SAT vs. ACT comparison and test selection guidance.
Section-by-section strategy (when to skip, when to guess, how to pace).
Test anxiety management and confidence building.
Superscoring strategy and retake planning.
Score goal setting based on target colleges and admissions competitiveness.

Subject-Specific Test Prep Support:
Math-focused SAT/ACT prep for students who struggle primarily with quantitative sections.
Reading and writing-focused SAT/ACT prep for students who struggle primarily with verbal sections.
Science reasoning strategies for ACT Science.
Grammar and usage rules for SAT Writing and ACT English.

You do not need to tutor every section. If you specialize in SAT Math only, or ACT Science only, or PSAT/National Merit only, or anything in between, we want you on our team.
