SSAT/ISEE + SAT/ACT Test Prep Tutor

Summit Educational Group • Newton, MA

1d • $35 - $60 • Onsite

About The Position

Summit Educational Group, a Guidewell Education brand, is immediately hiring caring, expert, part-time In-Person Tutors for SAT, ACT, and SSAT/ISEE test preparation in Metro West, MA, including the surrounding suburbs to the north, west, and south. If you are a teacher, a teacher's assistant, or have experience working with middle school or high school students—or have highly transferable skills from a background in Research, Engineering, Law, Consulting, Training, or Instructional Design—we encourage you to apply. While our tutors work across all grade levels, we are placing a special priority this hiring cycle on tutors who enjoy working with middle school students preparing for the SSAT and ISEE to gain admission to independent schools. Because these students test in the late fall, preparation begins in August/September, with peak tutoring taking place in October and November. You will be fully trained on SSAT/ISEE test prep strategies during your paid onboarding process! We don't just teach tests—we calmly, caringly, and expertly guide students to build confidence, develop strong study habits, and become better learners for life. Join us in making a meaningful impact!
