Academic Coach - Language Arts, gt.school (United States) - $100,000/year USD

Do you know the magic formula to crush the AP Lit & Lang exams? If you aced your own exams and are ready to help other students do the same, join gt.school!

gt.school helps gifted and talented students accelerate their learning via fully remote educational apps. We believe technology can deliver an educational experience that engages and teaches kids 3-5x faster than the standard teacher-classroom model. 

You will approach learning through the lens of tutoring: when students only have 1-2 hours a week to spend on a subject, what are the most important concepts, tools, and skills to learn? Success in this role will be measured by the percentage of students scoring 4+ on their AP exams.

If you’re eager to give kids a learning experience that actually makes them love school, we urge you to apply.

Starting on Day 1, you will be:

• Identifying the best available learning resources that help students learn, practice, and master AP English Literature & AP English Language

As our student enrollment grows, your duties will expand to include:

• Designing activities for live Zoom sessions that capture the attention of 9-12th grade students better than social media or video games
• Hosting live Zoom sessions with both individuals and groups

• Making curriculum design decisions to align the program with College Board standards
• Ensuring students in the program are active and engaged
• Constantly improving the program to enhance student engagement and achievement

• A Bachelor's degree in English or a related field (communications, creative writing, journalism, etc.)
• Attended a Top 15 US college or university
• At least 2 years of experience tutoring AP Literature & Language (1-on-1 tutoring) or college-level tutoring experience
• Scored a 4 or 5 on the AP Literature or Language exam
• The ability to understand and connect with kids
