About the Position
Tutoring for Lehigh Academy is a part time position with flexible hours. Since individual tutoring sessions occur in a student's home, all applicants must have a car and be willing to travel within a reasonable radius (30 minutes or less). Tutors must possess high standardized-test scores, effective communication skills and the ability to relate well to young people.
If You're Hired
All new instructors must participate in our 1:1 Training Program. To complete training, instructors must attend an orientation session and an intensive training workshop. Upon completion of the training program, each instructor meets with an Education Director for a Teachback session, a final checkpoint prior to the assignment of students.
A Typical Program
Our most popular and comprehensive preparation program is the 15-Session SAT I course. This program consists of fifteen 90-minute sessions that occur 1-2 times per week. As a specialized tutor, you will work with the student for approximately half of those 15 sessions while another tutor uses the remaining sessions to focus on the other areas of the test. Sessions occur after-school, during the evenings and on weekends.
