Summer SAT Class Tutor

Legal Outreach is searching for ten talented, knowledgeable SAT tutors who want to be part of a transformative experience that changes the educational trajectory of students from underserved populations. In past years, our Summer SAT course has helped participants improve their scores by an average of 150 points with some students scoring over 300 points higher on their final diagnostic exam. Results like that can make all the difference in the world when applying to college. 

Pay: $20/hour.

Job description:

Tutor: We will be hiring Math and English/Reading tutors for a summer session designed to prepare high school juniors for entrance into top 50 colleges and universities. Each tutor will deliver a five-week curriculum of SAT material to a class of about 12 students, through a combination of group lessons and one on one meetings. Tutors will work from a developed curriculum while expanding exercises for their own students as needed. Orientation and training will be provided prior to the start of the course, and tutors will work closely with permanent Legal Outreach staff who oversee the program. 

These positions are perfect for college students, alumni, graduate students, or all who excelled on the SAT or ACT and are interested in gaining valuable teaching and leadership experience while making a measurable difference in the lives of urban youth over the summer.
