Coaches aren’t just for sports—become an ACADEMIC Coach!

· Professional – Previous experience with middle or high school students required. Degree preferred.

· Long-term – Due to the amount of experience gained with each student & the time invested in training, we seek candidates who are willing to commit to a minimum of 2 years employment. We do not hire for temporary or summer-only work.
