Test Prep Tutor

Job description

We are seeking dynamic, effective test prep tutors to join our team, working primarily one-on-one with students, both virtually and in students’ homes across Manhattan and the surrounding areas.

About us

Ivy Tutor is an emerging tutoring and college advising group serving students in Manhattan, New Jersey, and a growing non-local clientele. We focus on delivering high-impact, memorable tutoring experiences that translate into measurable results. Our mission is to help students reach their full potential and perform at their best on test day.

About you

• Strong tutoring instincts. You can quickly diagnose student weaknesses and explain complex concepts clearly in plain language.
• Evidence-based mindset. You value instructional approaches supported by data, research, or demonstrated outcomes rather than guesswork.
• Can-do attitude. You are flexible, solution-oriented and willing to step up when it counts.
• Willing to be on the road: You're comfortable commuting, managing time well, and showing up prepared in different locations.

Why Work For Us:

• Flexible work hours: Just tell us the days and times you will be consistently available.
• No scheduling headaches: Our scheduling assistant will work as a liaison between you and your students.
• Great students and supportive parents: As a test prep expert, parents and students will defer to your judgment for all things test related.
• Paid training: We value the time you will spend learning high value skills.

Compensation

• Virtual Tutoring: Starts at $75 per hour of live instruction
• In-home Tutoring (Bergen Country): Starts at $85 per hour of live instruction
• Onboarding/Training/Lesson Prep: $20 an hour
• Travel Stipends Available: We pay for tolls, parking (if applicable) and help cover lengthy commutes.
• W-2 Position (not 1099): Enjoy higher net earnings

Note: Tutors typically see a 50/50 split between virtual and in-home tutoring. For every hour of live instruction, tutors can expect to spend roughly 15 minutes on lesson prep, review and communication.

Responsibilities

• Provide personalized one-on-one tutoring.
• Explain complex concepts clearly and efficiently, adapting explanations to each student’s level.
• Customize curriculum and pacing to meet individual learning needs.
• Deliver engaging, well-structured lessons using strong presentation skills.
• Plan and execute lessons aligned with student goals and progress.
• Track progress and adjust instruction as needed.
• Write a brief recap after each lesson summarizing content, progress, and next steps.

What we require:

• Record of 1450+ on SAT or 33+ ACT. Equivalents from other exams (e.g., GRE or GMAT) are acceptable
• Comfort teaching SAT & ACT Math in addition to verbal sections
• Bachelor's degree from a top-tier college or a graduate degree from a Research I (also known as R1) university
• Reliable vehicle
• 50+ hours of documented or verifiable tutoring/teaching experience (any type, paid or volunteer)
• 2 year commitment

What we prefer:

• Test prep tutoring experience
• Classroom teaching experience
• Math and Science Tutoring Versatility
