  • Middle and High School Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Including IB and AP level)
  • All Grade Levels Reading & Writing
  • All Grade Levels General Academic Coaching, in particular experience with Executive Functions development
  • World Languages (Spanish, German, French and Mandarin)

Applicants with relevant experience in any of the above subjects are welcome to apply. The greater the range of subject proficiency, the better. We are in particular need of generalists who are comfortable tutoring across a range of subjects as well as specialists in math, physics and biology.

We are a small organization that strives to build strong relationships with families and students. Most of our students are long term and many of our new students come from direct referrals. We place an emphasis on teaching the whole student, going beyond subject matter and addressing the myriad challenges that students face (mindset, confidence, executive skills, etc.). With that in mind, we are looking for tutors familiar with the growth mindset and who bring a strong sense of empathy to their work with students. A sense of humor doesn't hurt either!
